We were met at the hotel at 11am and our hosts took us to the Singapore Flyer for a welcome lunch which was delicicous. We sampled a variety of spicy local specialities including Stingray, Sugar cane drinks, oysters, pork rib soup, tofu and much more.
It was great to spend time with the teachers with whom we would be spending the next few days over lunch. We even had a lesson in how to use chopsticks properly!
After lunch our hosts helped us orientate ourselves and to organise excursions for the afternoon and later in the week. Nadine and Jen were taken shopping and for more food by teachers from their school while the rest of us were driven to Clarke Quay from where we took a boat trip along the Singapore River towards Marina Bay Sands, the Merlion and other sights.
After returning to the hotel we all met up to walk over to the Singapore Flyer for a night time ride and view across the city before dinner of Chinese food along the river. This was an opportunity for some to sample their first Singapore Sling while others sampled the local Tiger Beer.
