This was from a weekend in mid-June. We went out and about to run some errands, and then we were going to check out a free salsa concert with lessons at the Botanical Gardens and this was just a little bit of what we caught that was new to us. In different locations around the city, and in some parks you'll find these foot reflexology pathways. I had tried one up near Batu Caves on our last visit and it was sooo painful. This one looked a little less jagged and ominous and since Jeremy missed the last one, we thought we'd give this one a go!


There are different types of stone placed in different pathways. We did what we could!


It doesn't look like it should hurt that much, but depending on the angle and sharpness of a stone, and where it hits your foot....man, you may look like Jeremy! ...


He's givin' a valient effort!


But sometimes, he's just a drama queen! : )


This is entering another area of chinatown that we hadn't been to before. It's just rows and rows of shops tightly clustered with shopowners trying so hard to get you to come in theirs!


And in our travelling to get to the Botanical Gardens, we thought, we'd better get a bite to eat before we got up there and had no food options. So we stopped, against our better judgement, at the Newton Hawker Center. There's nothing wrong with eating here. There's great food, but they price it all higher b/c it's the 'touristy' hawker center! This is just a guy making lots of chicken in preparation for the dinner rush...

And unfortunatly, it takes way too long to use public transportation to get from one place to another, and by the time we got to Newton and got our dinner and ate it, the free salsa music and the lessons were going to be almost over and we still had to take another bus to get to the event. So, it was all for not, and we ended up turning around heading back home to find out that our neighbors had just come from there! They said it was really nice, and if we were going to go to another free concert at the gardens to pack a picnic dinner cuz that's what everyone else had done. (They didn't!). So, sorry, no pix of the Botanical Gardens, we just didn't make it yet!
