Being a Tourist

Singapore: Midweek

Felicia’s parents are very concerned with me getting bored while she is away at work.  I constantly try to reassure them that I have so much to do on my computer, but they seem to think I am being polite and have decided to plan a few outings for us to go on while she works.  Although I also get the feeling these are things they have wanted to do for a while too, I am just being used as motivation to get out and do them.

Today (actually a few days ago, I am just lazy about blogging on time), we headed out to the far western side of Singapore to visit the Bollywood Organic Farm, and for Christina (Felicia’s mom) to prove to me that not all of Singapore is developed.  We ate organic curry and fig tea and I even convinced Arthur (Felicia’s dad) to stop and smell the flowers while we were walking between rows and rows of things like lemongrass, banana trees, jackfruits, starfruit, pineapple, dragonfruit and beans. And, of course the afternoon with me covered in a sticky humid sweat and Arthur feeding the fish at the dragonfruit farm.
