- Walked along Orchard Street checking out all the stores. It is very necessary to have five different malls with all the same stores right next to each other in Singapore. Some malls even required two different stores of the same high-end designer. I just checked and there are 18 Armani stores in Singapore.
The ION Mall (complete with interactive touch screen directories):
-For lunch we went up to Newton Circle. It's more known for late-night munchies than lunch but the food was still good! I stuck with noodles and meatballs. Marco ventured to eat gong gong (basically snails) and a rice dish.

Another juice venture of Marco's:
- We then took the MRT to the Harbor Front stop across from Sentosa island. We ended up not heading to the island since it was full of tourist attractions like Universal Studios.
-We went back to the hotel to take a much needed break from the heat. Skyped with Mum.
-Following my Faj's recommendation we went to the Raffles Hotel to have a Singapore Sling in the Long Bar. The drink was invented in the bar. It was delicious (and very pricey). The hotel was gorgeous. Full of vegetation and old, dark wood. Apparently the last tiger of Singapore was shot in the courtyard of the hotel.

Marco and I with our Singapore Slings:
- We were in the mood for something a little more Western after all of our food adventures, well Marco's. We headed to Boat Quay and ate at Dallas, the name basically explains the food. We shared some fajitas.

-After dinner we headed up to the stop near the night safari but Marco fell asleep on the ride and I was close to. We still had to take a bus up to the zoo so decided to skip it and leave that for the future. We headed back to the hostel and fell right to sleep.
