Ode to Singapore

 Singapore has been and will be a great part of our lives. Here are just a few things I will miss about Singapore:

• The public transportation
• The people
• Having a maid/babysitter come every week
• The variety of food and restaurants
• The zoo
• The Singapore River
• Feeling safe walking around at night
• Being able to have one wardrobe they entire year
• Meeting people from all over the world
• MOPS
• My book club
• Having an "Ex-Pat" package
• Having a great pool just downstairs
• McDonald's delivery for those crazy days
• All the fun things to do
• Being able to walk to the store, the park, anywhere...
• No natural disasters
• Not having to listen to political campaigns for a year before an election
• Exploring a new country
• Being able to travel around Asia easily
• The great doctors we had
• All the places to take the kids
• The red and green lights in the parking garages
• The red and green indicators on bathroom doors (no having to look under the stall for feet :) )
• The different Ethnic areas 
• No gum to step in on the street

Thank you Singapore for a great 3 1/2 years! We will miss you!
