Singapore

Had to go to Singapore for a US-Japan meeting.  The Harbor is very cool. 

Thats the MerLion over my shoulder.  It was very humid.

That building really catches the eye.  What a cool landmark.

We went to the Singapore Zoo.  It was outstanding!

The hippo exhibit was very fun.

But the best thing was an enclosure called rain forest encounter.  Extraordinary!

It was full of friendly Lemurs.  They were like cats.

There was a platform into the trees that was full of flying foxes, birds, and a three-toed sloth.

They were fighting over some fruit that had just been passed out.

The flying foxes were amazing.  Giant Bats.  At one point one tried to land on my arm when I was taking pictures.

This sloth was about 2 feet away.  Unfortunately it was cloudy leading to the picture being blurry.

You can really see why they are called flying foxes in this picture.

We saw a second sloth as we climbed down from the perch.

The meeting ended and we had a free late afternoon.  Even though it was raining, we headed to the botanical park and the Singapore National Orchid Garden.  Breathtaking!  The following pictures speak for themselves.
