Monkey King

Hey everybody.  Bali is on the bottom half of the equator in the country of Indonesia.  There is this really awesome place called Monkey Forest and you can let monkeys climb on you to get the bananas. 

See he's hugging me. 

I got two monkeys on me right now.  I was feeling like I was in the jungle, I wasn't scared at all.  Jealous?  You should be.

The reason I called this the monkey king is because there is a huge monkey, the biggest monkey of all, he is called the monkey king.

Mom's notes: the jungle workers told us that there are 4 parts of the jungle, and each part has it's own "king" he is the biggest of all the monkeys, and he didn't climb for his bananas.  Whenever he was around, all the other monkeys would back off, and let him have whatever he wanted.  This is the monkey king above.

I think a lot of people where surprised that we let the monkeys climb on us.  There was this guy that was surprised there was a monkey on my dad.

I think he's thinking, Whoa, look at that dude, he's got a monkey on his back.  Just here to catch some waves bro.  Like totally.

When we were on the beach I got a huge boat kite.

We saw a show about the good and evil spirits.

I was a bit confused because I didn't know who half the people were.

There is one thing I did know, there was a monkey with a banana.

No picture because mom said no, not appropriate.

I had lots of fun in Bali, I want to go back!

The End.

Chinese Town

Yesterday we went to Chinatown.  It was great.  We saw McDonalds :)  but didn't eat there.  We ate at the hawker stand.  We had fried dumplings.  Oh wait I almost forgot, yesterday was Mother's Day.  

We saw the oldest Hindu Temple in Singapore. 

Viola

There was a whole lot of cool stuff.  Like, lanterns EVERYWHERE.

I got this cool dragon puppet.  The first time we went to Chinatown, the dragon puppet was only $20, but this time we saw it for 45 big bucks.  Dad says, "Ewwwww, $20"  The shop keeper said, "$35".  Then the shop keeper said again, "See, see see see.  I give this to students for $45."  My dad said, $20.  I was keeping my fingers  crossed and then he said $35 for the dragon and the skinny ties.  The shop keeper said deal.  I brought it home and named him Luxor.  Here are some pictures.

Here are some more pictures of Chinatown. 

Home Sweet Singapore

Hello again my little muchkins.  Last time I communicated with you, I was at a hotel.  Now I am at home, and I am going to tell you what it is like.  My first day here kind of being waste of my precious time.  Why you ask, because my bathroom is as tiny as my old desk at school.

At  least I can use the potty house while I take a shower. (this sentence was cleaned up by mom, censored for you protection) 

We are on the tenth floor, with a pool that reminds me of another pool. 

We have a pretty sweet view!

Jayden and I both have our own rooms. 

This is my room.

This is Jay's room.

In my room I have an American spot.  My American spot has stuff from America.  I have it to remember my times in America.  My favorite thing in my American spot is my Aaron Rodgers action figure.

We have the tiniest dryer EVER! 

It looks like a toy dryer.   I bet we will have to dry our clothes for five hours.

Here is another message for my friends at Gloria Dei.  Hope you are havin' fun in the states!! 

SING~SOME~MORE

Singapore, it's a mighty fine place and those of you who are reading this, well, enjoy this serving of my awesomeness. 

We have been here 7 days, and there is one DISGUSTING fruit called fart fruit (Durian fruit). 

The green spikey fruit in the back is the fart fruit.

I call it fart fruit because it really smell like farts and gym socks.  I haven't tried it yet, I am building up my courage.  People say it is delicious!  But some people say it is disgusting! 

Another amazing thing about Singapore is the Singapore flyer.  The tallest ferris wheel in the universe.

TA~DA!!

Next we will talk about thy merlion.  The merlion is a lion mexed with a mermaid, hold the phone, let me show you a picture just to get it straight.

ANYWAY, it spits out water, as you can see in the picture, and you can see in the far left corner a boat on top of a building, and you may be thinking "what is that thing?"  Well, I will get to that, patience my friends.  It took us 1/2 hour to walk there, and it was HOT!!

I was so hot and sweaty!

See that black dot under my lip?  That is not a freckle, that is ice cream.  Now, the moment you have been waiting for.  That building you saw in the merlion picture.  It is (drum roll please) Marina Sands Hotel. 

The boat is a swimming pool, held up by a casino and two hotels.  We are going to go there hopefully soon.  Now a message for my Gloria Dei friends........HI!  How's it goin?  See you all on my next blog post.  To all my little minions!
