Jenna's Travels

Welcome to the account of my adventures to Singapore and Australia

Shopping and the Night Safari

Toady we got a break from all the work. We finally slept in then decided to go to the famous "Orchard Road". Orchard road is a shopping area not unlike Union Square in San Francisco, except it's MUCH BIGGER! We walked around for a few hours and only saw about 1/3 of the area. Lots of famous designer stores, so we didn't buy anything but enjoyed some serious window shopping. In the evening we went to the Night Safari. This is the world's only night time zoo experience and it was wonderful! They had a "Creatures of the Night" animal show which was very good. Some of the animals in the show included, civits, owls, otters, a clouded leopard, and believe it or not they had trained hyena's to enter the stage area, target a location, then leave! After the show we took a tram around the zoo and guide talked about each exhibit. We walked on some of the trails even passing through an aviary where large fruit bats were flying right around us! We were there until almost midnight and had a Great time!
