A local visit.

We were very kindly invited to the home of Katherine, Faroek and Adel. Katherine drove us around the local area and showed us all the housing blocks and the local shops which was very interesting. Here are the unit blocks near her home.

The view from the window.

Their gorgeous little boy, Adel.

Playing before dinner. Its such a lovely home and alot bigger than the units we are used to. The weather is so nice and warm and there is a breeze through their windows. Hailey and ben loved discovering all Adel's toys!

They made us a feast for dinner. It's called Steamboat and there are lots of delicious things we can put in the pot in the middle of the table to cook, then eat. It was a delicious meal!! We had a great time with a really nice family.
We were so fortunate to meet K & F as we wouldnt have seen where people live or learnt so much about life in Singapore without them.
The two little boys. They are 3 months apart in age.

Newton Circus is a Hawker's market where you can get really good food. All the stalls are in a big circle and you pick and choose where to get different dishes from.

We had king prawns, sting ray and satay sticks. So good!!!

When it rains in Singapore, it really rains!! On this day, we were walking around Chinatown but then the rain came so we caught a taxi home.
The area we are staying in for a week is very different to the last. Its very busy with 2 beautiful temples behind the hotel and hundred's of street stalls. The shopping area is always packed with people and there are many interesting things to look at.



There are a whole heap of Trishaws here so we went for a ride.

We went for a 10 minute trip around the area.
