Singapore!

Yestarday was our last day in KL and the last day for our official Microsoft Conference.  It was a day of groupwork and sessions, ending off with a police-escorted trip to our finale gala.  It was wonderful!  Many great foods to eat and sights to see.  Cari Wilson won the best Canadian project and a second award for her international group. Way to go Cari!  Jennifer Drysdale's international group also won an award.  Each was well-deserved!

Darren Cannell also got recognized for his efforts in being a judge at this competion.  He recieved a beautful portfolio with the KL Twin Towers etched into the cover.

We left very early this morning from our hotel in Kuala Lumpur, and got to our flight.  It was a short trip to Singapore and it was very warm and humid.  Maybe moreso than anywhere else we've been.  We got through the airport (eventually - but that is another story for another time) and made it to our destination.  As soon as we got here we went downtown to do a bit of sight-seeing and maybe a bit of shopping, but no one bought anything, so there you go. 

We spent a few hours by the pool, each with their own laptop, catching up on e-mails and work.  After that, we went to the Night Safari and saw sights and sounds we won't soon forget.  It was spectacular - jungle life right before our eyes.  Then a late supper at Carnivores and a quick visit to the night market, and now we are back home, again, skyping loved ones and trying to get through one more e-mail before collapsing into bed at the Sheraton Towers.

Tomorrow is the last full day of our journey, and so ends the adventure.  We may or may not get a chance to log in anymore so if this is the last entry while we are here, we'll be back at our homes on Monday.

We'll see everyone soon!
