Pictures

This is the skyline of Singapore, taken from the top of the Merlion Statue on Sentosa Island. Take a look at the sky. After we got down from the top of the Merlion, we sought shelter. Right in the center of the picture is the port of Singapore - one of the largest, busiest ports in the world. There are literally thousands of shipping containers there. These containers are similar to the ones that carry Cardinal's products made in the Far East across the ocean to our distribution center in Fontana, Ca.

Three giraffes eating dinner. It is hard to see, but they are eating what would probably be considered yard waste in the US. A trainer comes out with a stack of twigs and leaves tied together and pins it up on a post at the giraffe's eye level. Hardly looks appetizing but they seem to enjoy it. The animals have "keen" senses so you are not supposed to take flash photos. Our Little rule breaker Kinsel obviously did not follow that rule! Ha! (For those of you that don't know Bruce, he is of very high character and would generally never do things someone specifically told him not to do, however, all that goes out the door when he has his camera in his hand)

Nothing exciting..a sign for the Night Safari.

One other interesting thing about dinner last night. Apparently bird's nest is a delicacy here. People will climb up in trees and get them and pull them down. I am not sure if many of you know how birds nests are made, but it is actually quite disgusting. You are supposed to pull all the vegetation out and then eat it - and I guess people spend hours doing it. It literally almost ruined my appetite last night - do a little reserach and you will understand why!

Well, it is Tues morning here and the grind calls. Have a great night! ~Nicole
