Trip to Singapore

Schools out for Chinese New Year so the seven of us jetted off to Singapore for five days. It was my parents idea that we all go away together (somewhere warm) and my mom had been wanting to see Singapore...
The first day saw us visiting the Singapore Botanical Garden in the morning. This is a beautiful area in Singapore that has numerous gardens, ponds and an amazing orchid exhibit. In the afternoon we visited the Battle Box, an underground compound that was the command center for British forces during WWII. It was here that the commanding officers met and decided to surrender to the Japanese in 1942. It was a very interesting place to see and we all got a lesson on a major event in Singapore's history.
