The taste of Singapore

Hello guys, John here bringing you a blog that I hope you enjoy reading it just as I am wrighting it. Let's get started with it and I'm happy to present to you Singapore! To start it off we arrived in Singapore at a very nice and modern like airport that I thought was amazing because of the fact that they had a big slide, we got to ride it and we tried to beat the record as there was a timer to see how fast you are going, we take a cab and arrive at our Airbnb in waterscape, huge and nice pool big complex for apartments and a place I would love to live at. On our drive to the Airbnb I noticed the crazy amounts of green spaces and there was some crazy cool architecture with the buildings to start it off, already great first impressions. After we get settled in the Airbnb we decide to go out for dinner so we walk 5 minutes to this crazy big plaza for shopping centres and restaurants, pretty Neto because of the fact that I absolutely adore shopping malls. Ate a nice din-din and headed back. Great first day but remember we only have 4 left now so we make the best of it. Me and Elizabeth get in the pool for some pool-action and basically relax and walk more around the shopping plaza for that day as we need to conserve our energy for the big day tomorrow, we still did tons of stuff like visit the museum and stuff like that so it was all good, we walked a bit more and then and there we got to really appreciate how beautiful Singapore really is with me it's beautiful landscapes and buildings, crazy green spaces with vines spiralling up and just clean and fresh air, something we're used to. All in all Singapore is a great places considering the way it treats it's environment, their supposedly the good guys assumingly because there flag is straight a lion, but I think of it more as griffendore which is where the good side comes in. During that second day we for lunch we visited a Indian hawker centre which had the best nan and curry to go with along the butter chicken and samosas, why am I mentioning this, well Singapore is a all-around religion and race country so you can find many various foods there including one of my all-time favourites... INDIAN FOOD! We have a big day planned for the next blog which has something to do with universal studios :D. Until next time, this ha been John and is officially signing out with a happy Halloween and a 'My birthday is coming up real fast so it would be nice if you dropped me one of those happy b-day quotes eh?'. Goodbye!

More of those days

Hello guys, John here bringing you a blog that again all over the place like the one before the last one but is ending off with a wonderfull finish. 

Anyways let's get started with the other day on the cruise, we we're the only people who stayed on the boat for another day which means out with the old and in with the new, new people and crew which was pretty cool.  We got to chill a lot on the boat waving goodbye to the old people and we watched as fresh new meat drove right on to the boat while mom and dad were enjoying a glass of wine along with 'The beautiful scenic view' -Father James. 

We got to do that for a while and then we did pretty much the same thing that night but we did meet new people of our own kind... Canadiens! 

Elizabeth and I had a bit more experience making the spring rolls so you could say we were pros at the cooking demonstration this time.

The dinner was different and rather better than the night before however we had an even crazier crowd for the alcohol industries on the cruise, buy one get 1 free deals and the Canadiens gave an extra 25% excitement.  Elizabeth and I swear we heard a lot of limbo and karaoke late into the night, old party animals! 

That's it for the last night on the cruise (I personally thought it was more of an adult thing but that's just me). On the last day we visited a local fishing village with some huge fish in stock, not only that but more alcohol was involved as everyone got a glass of rice wine.  I would say that that was it for the cruise as we chilled a bit more and headed back to the harbour. 

We all stacked up in the bus and we we're off. If you had not noticed, I skipped the part we're I threw up tens of thousands of multiple times.   I did not like that at all cause it didin't feel good in my tum... You know what let's just forget about it okay :D! 

We started to head back to Hanoi and I liked this because of the evolved civilization. I found out that we were going to stay there for at least a day and I was stoked! We did a few things like check out the shopping mall and what not, Elizabeth and mom went out to go see the water puppets and I stayed home for reason that I already talked about (sick) before and that I did not want to mention.

Hanoi was great cause I got tohave more Pho from my new favorite Pho place and there ya go Hanoi for one day. 

We booked a car and were heading to Hoi An.  I will skip this place, we had a fantastic time in the old city, shopping, eating and going to the beach but nothing compares to my ultimate favourite Singapore!!

Until next time, this has been John and is officially signing out!

Ha long we cruising?

Hello guys, John here bringing you a continued blog that involves us staying on the Halong Bay Grey line cruise for two days.  If you recall from the last blog it was a pretty rough day. 

Anyways I shall continue my story on the cruise and I shall start it with the "all day"  tour.  The entire cruise went on this fabulous excursion with us and they all told us to go on the dingy.  Then they boat us to our first destination, a cave. This cave was absolutely amazing with it's Indiana Jones like carving and theme, we even had some penguins to meet us when we arrived on the island (might not be factual).  Our next stop was a trip to these islands and we got to either go kayaking and go into the cool caves and see the beautiful scenery and bats or basically do that on a bamboo boat steered and controlled by a guide. Mom, dad and Elizabeth went kayaking while I stayed on a bamboo boat with a wonderfull nice guide with two nice Australians, when you look at it from another view point it was basically 2 Australians, 1 Canadian and 1Vietnamese stranded on a boat that looked like it was gonna tip over at any second enjoying the bat-filled caves while looking at wonderfull scenery. 

That was mostly it for the tour (I really can't remember it was such a while back as I am halfway in Bali) and so we headed back to the boat, we were then allowed to enjoy the boat and they instructed us to go in the water, I was just there to watch as I knew there was gonna be some here and there and guess what! A girl almost headed straight into one so yay for John for his awesome predicting skills, after that we got to chill up on the top deck, have a beer, go squid fishing which I did not do because I didin't want to see my friends die and learn how to make Vietnamese spring rolls (EZ PZ). By the time we did all that it was officially dinner time which was awesome as it was so fancy dancy, after that the kids got to go back to our room while we let the adults wash away there memories with some nice hard alcohol, while me and Elizabeth were in the room we noticed the thumping got a little too crazy and the scream almost sounded diabolical until we both wiped out. But until next time, this has been John and is officially signing out bringing you the next day in the next blog :D!
