Still Here

No worries, we're still here, attending classes and eating at hawker stands.

This weekend we had a lovely time at the MacRitchie Reservoir.  We went with a group of international students - we were about 10 in all.  It was a lot of fun, but not quite what we were expecting.  It had been touted as a "jungle", when, in reality, it was a county park made in a section of rainforest. That is, there were a ton of people, a ton of tourists, and a million runners/walkers/exercisers walking on the trail.

It was a really nice trail, though. We saw a whole bunch of monkeys, which were adorable.  That was the only wildlife we saw on the 11km walk, except for a little snake I nearly stepped on... Let me just say I screamed and move on.

Is that not an adorable monkey?

I think this one's cuter though...

There was a really cool part of the walk, and that was the canopy walk.  It's about 120 feet up on a metal see-through suspension walkway, but we could see all the tops of the trees.  Most of us are afraid of heights, and even if you're not, this was a rather tremulous trek.  In the picture below, the trees in the background are in fact at eye level, and they're at least 100 feet tall....

In other news, I have a bad sinus infection, and Gabe has a mild one... Apparently it's going around school. 

Also, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

And Happy Birthday, Your Majesty!
