Singapore Merlion
Thian Hock Keng Temple
National Orchid Gardens
Today we went on a Singapore City Tour. The morning began at the National Orchid Gardens. The flowers were beautiful. We meandered the gardens for 30 minutes and then headed to the the Thian Hock Keng Temple. The temple was built in 1840 and is used by both Buddhist and Taoists for worship. After the temple, we drove to see an icon of Singapore, the Merlion. What a beautiful waterfront structure. We took a picture and then enjoyed a Starbucks before heading back to the hotel.
For lunch, we met with two international school teachers, Danny and Kendra. Danny teaches high school mathematics and Kendra is the resource coordinator for the school. We discussed similarities and differences between teaching in the states and teaching in Singapore. We are looking forward to comparing their opinions to our observations of Singapore schools on Tuesday.
Tonight we are go to China Town for a cultural tour. It should make for a fun evening!
