Hey all it has been raining everyday here lately.  It cycles between a light rain and heavy rain pretty much all day long.  I guess this is why they call it the rainy season.  So because of the rain I haven't been able to do much or take any pictures.  At the end of my last trip I ruined my new camera by getting steam in it from the hot springs in Thailand so I am being extra careful this time around.  So sadly I don't have much to report here in this blog.  I was hoping to go to the bird park, night safari, and get a bunch of pictures from around the town, but that will have to wait until the rain goes away.  Although it has been raining I have still been enjoying myself.  I have been taking the bus and subway everywhere and I am really starting to learn the city.  Life here is so much different than in the US, but at the same time I see a lot of similarities.  In the past week I have seen a few movies, walked around a bunch of different malls, and eaten a lot of good local food.  I leave for a short trip to the Philippines in two days to lay around on the beach and then back here to Singapore.  I should have plenty to blog about when I get back here.  Plus hopefully the rain will go away during that time so I can show you more of Singapore.  So stay tuned and I promise to blog more as soon as the weather starts to cooperate.
