Chinatown and the Night Safari








On Thursday morning, we headed off for some more shopping and exploring, this time heading towards Chinatown. There are some amazing shops, especially in the Handicrafts section of one of the big shopping centres (can't recall its name). I'd suggest hitting the markets first though, as there are a few things in the shops that can be found for about half the price at the nearby markets.
Satays and beer for lunch in the Chinatown market, then back home to rest and get ready for the zoo.

We jumped in a taxi around 6.30pm to head off to the Night Safari at the zoo. Unfortunately, it was peak hour! Still, the trip only cost about $16SIN, even though we were going to the other side of the island.
The Night Safari was great fun, with Caitlin's favourites being the tigers, leopards and snakes.

Caitlin has asked me to say that she had lots of fun! :-)
