*The MRT system is really nice.  The Dhoby Ghaut station involves multiple train lines and you have to go down to go up to go down on the lifts (elevators) to get to the right platform is confusing, but I made it with out crying.  I also learned to head for the cars at the beginning or end of the train as they’re usually less crowded and you’re less likely to get a look of disapproval for trying to get on with a stroller.

*Our Phil & Ted’s lime green sport buggy was totally worth the money. Not that we didn’t already love our stroller, but it’s functioned as a stroller, rolling crib, and high chair without missing a beat. And I’ve gone up and down escalators and stairs without too much trouble. Not so sure I could do that with a lot of other strollers. Plus the rain cover attachment helps in the downpours.

*Samuel likes Ikea! We will definitely be spending some time there when we move and get a place.

*Prata is tasty. Of the things I’ve eaten so far, this is the one most likely to pack on the pounds because it’s surely not healthy and I could eat lots of it.

*Singaporeans are generally lovely, kind, polite people.  Not like what you expect to find in big cities in the US.  I enjoyed smiling at them throughout my adventures yesterday to see what I would get in return. Generally more smiles!

*Samuel is an adventurous, outgoing, flexible, charming little ladies’ man.  While in que for the loo he was fussy, but perked right up when a cute little girl who is about 3 walked up behind us.  And on every train he charmed at least one girl along with all the waiters at the prata cafe where we ate lunch.  He’s also eaten everything I’ve put in front of him including almost half of the dumplings we got for dinner.

*Most importantly–God is good!  Okay, I already knew that one.  It never hurts to be reminded of it though.  He’s really answering the prayers of my heart about this trip and I’m learning about depending on Him in a whole new way.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers, in particular Toffer as he’s in Nepal now. The location he’s on his way to is described as “rustic.”  And the journey to that location may be a little rough on him.  Questions? Comments? Contact Us.  Snide Remarks? Criticism?
