I went to a Lutheran church today at 11 for their contemporary praise service. I walked in, and right away 2 Singaporean ladies came up to me and started talking to me immediately. I then met another lady who is from Kansas and she has lived here with her husband and kids for the past 4 years. Everyone was really nice. I went in for church, and mid service, was introduced to a young Singapore family. The lady was so nice, and kept asking me questions throughout the service! The church was really up lifting, and the people were all so passionate about being there! I took communion, and at the communion rail, the paster asked me my name. At the end of the service, he asked if there were any first time visitors, looked right at me, and said, "let's all welcome Nicole to our church" Everyone turned, and started clapping for me! It was so refreshing to be at a church with real people!
After church, I took a tour of Singapore on a hop on - hop off bus and river boat! It was an awesome tour, and I saw so much including, Little India, Chinatown, Botanic Gardens, Marina Bay, and more!
I have included pictures below.
Singapore Flyer is taller then the London Eye
Marina Bay Sands - One of the hotel casino's in Singapore. That is a ship on the top of the hotel with a bar, and infinity pool. The casino is in the basement. Tourists can get into the casino for free, but Singaporeans have to pay S$100 to enter, because their government doesn't want them gambling. The price to go to the top of the ship is S$20.
The art museum is to the left of the hotel.
Financial/Business District (Rockwell is not located here)
Financial/Business District View from the River
Swissotel - the tallest Hotel and building in Singapore with more than 70 floors - This is where Grace stays when she is in Singapore. On a side note, she will be here on Nov. 17 and I can't wait to see her :)
