Exploring Singapore 

On Monday, we walked to the nearby Museum of Singapore. A serene and beautifully presented museum, there were numerous rooms which displayed the history, clothes and society of Singapore. 

We walked a short distance to the iconic Raffles Hotel and enjoyed morning tea in this elegant building.

We made our way back to Orchard Road on the train and had a delicious lunch in Ion Orchard before returning to our Hotel for school work and THIMUN preparation. 

In the evening we headed to China town on a guided tour. 

What a fun night!

Alison and Averlie discuss the benefits of some items in the Chinese Medicine shop we visited. Abalone from Australia had it's own shelf!

Our friendly guide shared some fascinating information on the history of Chinese immigration to Singapore and the traditional architecture in the district.

Browsing through the colourful market was fun!

Dinner in China town

After dinner we had a hilarious ride on trishaws to Clarke Quay. 

After our exhilarating trishaw journey we soaked up the happy vibe and live music at Clarke Quay for a short while then climbed on board a charming ferry boat decorated with Christmas decorations. We then enjoyed a relaxing and beautiful tour along the banks of the river. It was a fantastic way to see and admire the magnificent buildings and iconic views of Singapore.

The stunning Fullerton Hotel

The financial district. (The guide explained "In Singapore it is believed the higher the building the greater the status of the company!)
