Singapore – Through the Interface

We’ve spent the last 5 days staying with our good friends, Rishad and Shefali, in Singapore. This was one of the three “must see” destinations chosen by our kids, having been picked by our daughter, Anokhi. (The others being the Great Barrier Reef (Kalan) and Machu Picchu (Zephyr).) Mainly because she loves spending time with our friends.

One of the first places we visited was the Botanical Gardens – a UNESCO Heritage site and a great place to wander around and experience the native rainforest that once covered the island of Singapore.

After real trees, we simply had to visit the Gardens by the Bay to experience the super-trees by night.
