One of the first things that we wanted to get done today was our project for Marine Biology. Heather and I needed to go to a beach and collect data on the trash that we found there. When we were waiting for a bus, we met a guy from SAS, named Ben, who was going to the same place we were, so we stuck with him. It took a little bit to figure out the subway stations, but once we did, it was so easy to use. After about a half hour ride, we got to this mall, called Harbour Front, and Heather and I walked around a little bit before we finally made our way to the beach. The mall was huge and very complicated. We had to get directions multiple times to get to the metro that would take us to Sentosa World Resort. It probably took just an hour to find the place. We paid for our round trip ticket, and got off at Beach Station. Heather liked the name of Palawan Beach so that is where we went.
The beach was made mostly for children, with playthings everywhere. They even had a life-size Shoots and Ladders board! Because of the strict laws in Singapore, it was a very clean beach. We walked on the beach and were able to find debris that had washed ashore from the ocean. This took about an hour, and when we finally finished we decided to go to Little India.
The buildings of Little India were very brightly colored, which is not something that we commonly see in America. We met an ex army man in there, who told us that if we needed any help we could just come find him. We told him we were from Canada and learned that he has been to Toronto many times. He said the people of Canada are very nice. We tell people that we are from Canada, because then they don’t bother us.
From Canada, eh? :)
