Today we went out to the SDA church in the Jurong District, thankfully it was easy to get there. Man are those guys ever friendly. They helped us out the whole time, invited us to stay and eat after (which we did) and tried to get us to go to their social night, but we had some sights to check out. They all seemed to know where Walla Walla was, that and Loma Linda. The food was awesome and tons of variety in taste as well as culture.

After church we checked out Mt. Fabor, which is apparently one of only two places that are rainforests within city limits in the world (its what we've heard). We took a cable car to get up there and right when we got to the top the rainforest lived up to its name and poured on us, a true tropical road filling downpour (it was nice to have some waterproof gear). From Mt. Fabor you can see the merlion (the sign of Singapore, lion and fish). Its HUGE, one of the pictures show how big it is from the mountain. So after Fabor we headed to Sentosa the island that the statue was
