DoSomeThingGreat Jeremy Brodhead

April 2nd, 2005
I'm not quite sure how to start. We saw so much, and there are soooo many pix that I want to show everyone, that I may need to just list pix, and have not too much in the way of commentary, which I'm sure you will all enjoy.

Jeremy's folks arrived at 2pm on Saturdy April 2nd for what we will fondly remember as one of the best 'vacations' we've ever had! We joked that when we went to Bali, Indonesia, that we 'hit the ground running', BUT, we hit the ground running as soon as they arrived here, in Singapore! (Bali will have to be a very separate blog entry, as there are about 1400 pix of our 6 day, 5 night adventure there! I'm going to try and be selective-Give me till the end of the week to pull it all together!).

But first, Singapore, and new stuff for even us!

We gathered the rents, and took them back to our apt via public transportation. Sherry, Jeremy's Mom, has used lots of public transport in various cities all over the world, and she said that it really seemed like Singapore was doing it right! It's very easy, clean & efficient. Once back at our apt, we dropped our stuff caught up a bit, settled in a bit, (ate Nutella! -see it's dangerous!) got some drinks and made a plan. We decided to head up to Jeremy's lab so his folks could check that out and there we could gather Kazue and Davis for dinner plans. After a quick tour and meeting with Davis and re-meeting Kazue, we headed off to Clementi for some great seafood and local favourite, Chili Crab!

Kazue took the pix. Our family style Chili Crab, ginger and garlic fish, and greens.

Ok, so the Chili Crab was really hot and SPICY!

After dinner we decided to walk around the Clementi area and Clementi Neighborhood and show 'our neighborhood' area of Clementi. We were also in search of some dessert.

We found these awesome chocolate balls. So far the best 'heavy, chocolate' desert we have found in all of Singapore. Deserts here tend to either be some sort of jelly like food, with fruits and corn or very light, spongelike cakes. It's hard to find a nice thick chewy brownie or good sweet cake!

After walking around the Clementi area, we parted ways with Kazue and headed back to the condo. We made a plan for the next day so we wanted to get settled in and a good nights sleep.
