Singapore Botanical Gardens

We had planned to go Bukit Timah hill as it has just reopened after renovations . The weather somehow forbids the idea and we changed our plan to Botanical gardens instead. It started to rain again and we are on our way.

Singapore Botanic Gardens is a beautiful place to visit even for locals. As a little girl, I remembered we used to dressed nicely to come here to take photos. Those were days in 1970s. This used to be one of the popular place for wedding photos too. I wonder if couple still comes here. She is even prettier now than ever. And upgrading has never seem to stop.

A very beautiful and refreshing place. I'll be back.

Getaway, part 2 Virgo to Ishigaki

We arrived Naha. The last time I missed Fukushu-en garden with Choo. This time I made it to the garden first. It is a chinese style garden. China has given to Japan. It is quite small but well maintain.

Then we walk to the famous streets - Kokusai street, Makishi Public market, Shijo Hondori and Peace street. they are all link. We had our sashimi lunch. (it's a pity I lost the photos) lots of things to see and buy here.

Next destination, we arrived Miyako-jima. We had planned to rent a car but cannot find the place. We came upon a bicycle rental shop, the bicycles were too big for me and with the many slopes, I have no confident too. Hence we just walked around.
