CHILI CRAB

Since we were required to leave Thailand to have our 90-day Visa renewed, we decided to visit a new city a few days. And the timing was perfect for Grace International School's Spring break. So we stayed with a family in Singapore, the son of friends at our home church in WA.

It was interesting to be in a new culture, mostly Chinese, yet to hear English as the national language, which is more rare in Thailand. People were friendly and helpful; we shared an entire, messy, world-famous, spicey CHILI CRAB. YUM. And the variety of old and new architecture was AMAZING!

No two buidlings in Singapore were alike, except the old, old ones. This reminded me of Rob's time as an exchange student in Shanghai seven years ago. He learned of their law that not two buildings were allowed to be designed alike. A fun week, and we're legally stamped for another 90-days in Chiang Mai.
