January 12th was yet another noteworthy day for the crew here on Pac Rim 2020! Our day began with a stop at the pristine National Orchid Garden here in Singapore! There we were able to observe an array of beautiful plant life over a sprawling complex filled with fantastic, sights, sounds, and smells of the Garden. Here pictured are just a few of the many highlights that we saw during our time there.
Next, we proceeded to take a quick bus ride back to the heart of the city where we made our way through a tour pf the Asian Civilizations museum. Here the group was able to take in some of the historical artifacts from the region. Many items were things such as pottery work and writings, as well as basic tools/weapons/utensils etc. In addition to this we were able to see some contemporary art as well, this really allowed for us to gain a great understating of how art was perceived in ancient Asia, and how that art has transformed in the modern era.
After our time at the museum the group proceeded to what I believe many would consider to be quite a highlight of the trip so far, the Tiger Brewery Tour! Here we were able to get a full understanding of how Tiger produces and distributes its high-quality beer, but the fun did not stop there. After the tour the group proceeded to a tasting section full of fun! Not only did this include the enjoyment of a great number of fresh beers but also included a very impressive performance by Raj and Sarah on the pool table in the Tiger lounge. Overall, a great time for everyone, and a fun way to spend the afternoon!
Finally, our day ended with a great time at the Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo! Here we were able to see a great array of fascinating creatures up close and personal! Cam was also lucky enough to get to spend some time on stage with the trainers and a particularly sizable python! After our time here the group finally proceeded home after a long day of fun!
