Singapore

Trip: Singapore -->Kuala Lumpur --> Penang -->Phuket -->Bangkok -->Chiang Mai -->

Singapore is the first stop for Ming's Southeast Asia trip.  It seems Ming like the city a lot because it's better than what he expected.  It's hot and humid but the city is so modern that he did not feel the bothersome of the heat.

Leaving for Kuala Lumpur

Side story: Ming should have arrived Singapore with Chun on the midnight of May 30 but Chun's flight from Kansas City was cancelled due to the bad weather in Chicago.  Ming arrived Shangari-La apartment by himself, but the name to be allowed to check in was Lisi because Ming was not in the relocation dependent's list. It took quite a bit of clarification for Ming to get in the apartment. 

Landed in Singapore

After a month long exhausted packing to vacate our resident in Topeka, Kansas, we finally landed in Singapore in the early morning of June 6 after 17 plus hours non-stop fly from Newark airport.  It was a very long trip but I almost slept through it because I have not had a good night sleep since we started the moving process.

 Arrival

Now I am here, in Singapore to start another chapter of my life as an expat dependent.  I don’t know how soon I can adjust / settle down in the new place but I do know that I want to enjoy every day and make the best out of this journey.  

Yellowstone -Scenic

Yellowstone -Faithful

Old Faithful Geyser has been so FAITHFUL that it has been erupting in nearly the same fashion throughout the recorded history of Yellowstone Park: it erupts on an average of every 80 minutes and shoots out hot water up to 184 feet high into the air.

Buffalo Bill Dam

Buffala Bill Dam, Cody WY was completed in 1910.  It's 325 feet tall.  It was the tallest dam in the world at the time of its completion.

 

Key West -Fishing

Another thing you have to do in the Key is go fishing in the sea; it's kind of experience but it's really fun.

 Other than the fun, Chun got sea sick.

Key West -Sunset

Take a boat ride to watch sunset

After sunset on the boat: dance, sing and drink

 

Deadwood, SD

 A small town named Deadwood is worth to stay a night. It has not only a little history but also a sleepless town; you may enjoy night shows, play table games or slot machines and etc. But the town start sleeping in the morning.
