On Sunday morning we took the 8:45am ferry from Batam to Singapore and spent the rest of the day Sunday and all of Monday exploring the amazing city / country that is Singapore. We shopped on Haji Lane Got "selfie coffees" Made a wish at the Fountain of Weath Swam in the rooftop infinity pool at our hotel Enjoyed an AMAZING bike tour of Singapore with the greatest tour guide, Rene Enjoyed some dumplings, noodles & chicken rice from the hawkers in Chinatown Tried chili crab from La Pau Sat Watched the light show at Gardens by the Bay Checked out the famous Raffles Hotel & enjoyed a relaxing mini-vacation together after a hard week of work. What an amazing experience. We are beyond blessed!
Saturday, Final Habitat Build Day Today was our last day on the work site and our last full day in Batam; I'm so sad it's over! We couldn't start working until about 10:45 because it was raining so hard. I LOVE the thunder and lighting! (Not because it prevented us from working-- that was a bummer-- but because it's so neat!) I forgot to mention yesterday, we had to leave the site a bit earlier than usual because of the lighting, and then when we pulled onto the first main dirt road, lightning struck right in front of our van. Crazy! We were practicing our Indonesian words today (unglar like singular means slacker / maaf means sorry / terima kasih means thank you (or "makasi" less formal, like saying "thanks") / suka means like / cinta like chin-tah means love) etc & I told Jeremi (one of the Indonesian laborers who actually received his own Habitat home last year & now works for Habitat) "Aku cinta Jeremi." He laughed...
