After swimming and class this morning, we went to Sentosa on a class field trip. To get to the island, we rode in a cable car across the bay!!! It was so beautiful! On the way home, we got to see the sun set from the gondola! After spending some time in the Images of Singapore Museum, we were free to roam about the island. Activities included riding a luge down a mountain (so much fun!), eating ice cream, relaxing on Siloso Beach, taking lots of pictures, playing some beach volleyball, swimming to a few close islands, and getting into a fight with a sea monster (or a 6.5 foot long monitor lizard... whatever you want to call it). Overall, Sentosa is a very touristy island, so I wasn't the biggest fan... but it was a great get-away from the city for a day.
When the days activities came to a close, we began heading back to campus. I rode in the top of a double decker bus!! AAAHH it was fun! In order to avoid paying for two buses, we got off after one and walked the rest of the way to campus... and thus ensued the starvation march. We finally returned to campus tired, hungry, sweaty, and smelly. But we made it, and the watermelon at the dining hall had never tasted so good!
I've decided not to go to Indonesia tomorrow. The US government has issued a high level travel warning due to increased terrorism against Americans in the area, and the Indonesian government has sent out warnings about an approaching volcanic eruption on the island of Java that could cause serious earthquakes. So instead, tomorrow a few of us are going shopping, all day long, in the Great Singapore Sale, which is a month long event when stores across the island severely cut back their prices!!!! YAY!
