More from Singapore

Friday night we went to Newton Circus (roundabout, not clowns and trapeze) food court for dinner. It's a large open air place with stalls full of different food. You pick a table, memorize your table number (303, thank you very much) and head off in search of sustenance. Noodles, murtabak, satay, prawns, and other delicious victuals, all washed down by a Tiger beer. You order, tell them your table number, move on to another stall, order more food, tell them your table number, and move on...etc. Then, the food magically appears at your table, and you pay. All very efficient and tasty.


I think I did okay with the kid.


And even better with the birds. Cyrus picked our entertainment for Saturday morning, so we all packed off to the Singapore bird park, which included a huge enclosure full of Lorikeets that you can feed.


Katherine took the Singapore shopping opportunity to pick up some new maternity clothes. She said she was sick of the five outfits she has, and she has taken to spilling food on her belly. I guess previously she was just dropping food on the floor, but now there is an obstacle to catch what falls.
