Tina and our team preparing Kung Pao Chicken

Our creation... We ate it for lunch

Our voyage has been a whirlwind of activity since Tina Boarded in Singapore, so it has been awhile since I have posted.  The ship arrived in Singapore early on Sunday, Oct. 31, and Tina was there waiting to board!  We threw her bags in the cabin and immediately headed out to do a city orientation tour.  Singapore is incredibly clean and landscaped.  Someone called it "Disneyland with the death penalty".  Even our landing passes had "Death penalty for drug possession" printed in red on them.  We had a wonderful time in Singapore, though.  On the first day we visited the National Orchid Gardens and the Chinatown and India Town sections of the city.  That evening we went to the Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo.  Since it was Halloween, the Night Safari was decorated with ghouls and goblins, and zombie tour guides.  The students loved it and really got into the spooky tram ride.

The second day we went to the At Sunrice culinary school and learned how to cook Kung Pao Chicken and Fried Rice.  We got the recipes and are looking forward to preparing a dinner when we return!
