The zoo was absolutely amazing! There was even a special "Cat Country" which was just perfect for me :) They had white tigers, leopards, jaguars, a cheetah, cougars, and more. They also had so many different animals that I had never seen or heard of before. It was so very foreign, but familiar at the same time! It was so similar to our own North Carolina Zoo, but some of the animals there I didn't even know existed!
Our first experience with the Night Safari was a fire dance performance outside of the exhibits, which was really impressive to watch. It was really unnerving to walk around a zoo with very few lights and in the dark, but it was also exciting and so different! It was even more of a challenge to find the animals in all of the exhibits, due to the night-time aspect. The Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari were also extremely open areas - we were around so many animals that we very easily could have touched or could have touched us! They had a lot of enclosed areas where the animals roam freely and you can walk among them. It was a very new experience!
The Dragon Boat races we went to were for the national championship. It was so exciting, especially seeing so many different countries and Singaporean colleges compete! It was basically a rowing competition, but it's special due to the dragon-design of the boats and the use of drums.
I got to have a lot of new experiences these past few days! But now, I'm off to eat some cheese pizza and enjoy some Western food to cure a bit of homesickness :)
