Singapore and Malaysia

One thing about Singapore was their gardens, parks, animal attractions and basically any empty piece of land that was beautified by flowers and trees and orchids if you want. We met up With Josanne and her Mom. Tannie Hannelie en Moeder loop met oohs en aahs deur die orgidee tuin.



We also went to the zoo which was pretty impressive. Had breakfast with the Urangutangs and a few other creatures that was totally unasked for. Just ask yourself do you really want to look at a snake (constrictor) whilst having pancakes???
An Urangutang with her young and Yes we are on the right hand side again...



We also attended an animal show where some of the seals, monkeys and yet again snakes were trained to entertain the masses. Josanne never made it on a picture as she was constantly taking them. Jammer man - volgende keer...



This is a video of a multilingual parrot that was entertaining us at the Jurong Bird Park. It's counting to ten and was able to count and sing songs in Chinese as well.

As our trip to Malaysia was very short, the pictures were not all that impressive. Here we climbed like a million (not sure of the actual number) steps to the BATU caves. A natural piece of rock just standing out in the middle of the city. As you can see they have made it a religious place of - whatever. Apart from that Kuala Lumpur was about the Petronas towers which was closed on the Monday when we were there. Some nice architecture complimented the busy streets full of markets selling exactly the same things you'll get in Hong Kong and Singapore. The only difference is that they will try to sell it to you for 10 times the actual value as you are a tourist and you are willing to pay for it. Even when I told them not to quote me the American price, things were just not that cheap. We did manage to walk through about 176 shops owned by Indians selling.... wait for it..... Silk fabrics and all kinds of kakkies. So now sis is getting a wedding dress straight out of the east.
