Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes." They will say, "Women don't have what it takes." -Clare Boothe Luce

The time change is definitely harder to get use to than I thought! Right now it is 3:30pm Singapore time… which means it is 1:30am U.S. time. Hopefully it will only take a few more days. I am surprised with the amount of high end cars around this area. Apparently you cannot have a car older than 10 years do to pollution issues.

After arriving at Treetop’s the ladies and I decided to unpack and we were determined to see Singapore! We traveled down Orchard Rd where there was amazing shopping and soon went to lunch at Song of India. The food was amazing. Lamb curry, naan, and a dish complimentary of the chef. Soon after our energy turned into exhaustion and we ended up wondering around until it started raining. Luckily we ended back at Treetops before the rain started. When it rains…it pours. Throughout the afternoon we were determined to stay awake. We were so jet lag from the time change we found anything funny. We were all in bed around 6-7pm.

Today we started out with a tour of the botanic gardens. There is more species in the botanic gardens than in North America. It was simply beautiful. I plan on doing yoga there a few times in the mornings. On the way we saw the U.S. embassy. Great to know where that is located just in case!

It is time to hit the pool for a few hours and then we have a Bollywood dance lessons later this evening.
