Last word - chicken feet!!!!!

Hello all

Well it only took me 30minutes to figure out how to create a new post today as somehow everything on this site is in chinese - another skill added to the basket of this trips learnings - how to guess which button to press to save (so as not to write the same piece 20 times hmm....)!!!
Anyway, as per usual I do have to have the last word, its in my nature. Although Ian has captured pretty much most of our trip I just have to add two minor incidents from yesterday.
Throughout these travels Ian and I (and the boys to some extend) have got into a very structured way of packing and venturing out on various tourist trips without too much trouble. Ofcourse at some point we were bound to let down our guards and trip up a bit : On a taxi ride to the Suntec mall 5th tower (great for shopping) we (Ian) managed to forget the pushchair when leaving. This left us with the beautiful alternative of logging not one but two complaining boys around for what was originally to be a nice 2 hour shopping trip including a toy as reward for the boys at the end into a 20 minute dash to Toys R Us for a quick bribery tour to stop the moaning, wailing, screaming, kicking....yes 4 months with mor and daddy has turned them into some monster tantrum behavioural creatures - limited options for corrective measures (go to your room...hmm) and too many bribes we think may be the reasons!!! Anyhow, we decided that it was a matter of life and death getting the pram back, especially for the much dreaded 3hours in the airport tonight and so we managed to phone every taxi company in town, apart from the one we drove with of course!! Needless to say it was a nice surprise this morning at breakfast when the portier announced that the pram had found its way back to the hotel and us . There were cheers of joy as we could now venture out to a nice big temple with only one boy complaining at any one point and off to the Singapore Zoo which is fantastic for the rest of the afternoon.
Oh, I almost forgot, yesterday when we went to this lovely food stall, Ian being the brave man that he is (although he has never touched a snake - well ok....) had to try lots of different food. He got himself some lovely sweet and sour pork...or so he thought, mentioning to me that it was a little bony..hmmmm Lets ask the lady what this really is - Chicken feet!!!!
And so the adventures of the Hughsie family ends, the real world kicks in and off we go to work our ar... off ones again - until the next time one of us comes up with a bright idea to make life just a little bit better!!!!
