We're in Singapore!

On our long flight to Singapore, we had a layover in Shanghai.
After a long 18 hours of flights, we land at Singapore's Jewel Changi Airport, where we visit theworld's tallest indoor waterfall! The 103-foot "Rain Vortex is supplied by collected rainwater and flows at the center of a greenhouse topped by an inverted glass dome. Here's a picture of Wren, and then a stock photo that shows the entrance to it. Super cool!
The "Rain Vortex"
Once we're settled into our hotel, we walk to China Town for delicious food!
Dumplings were of course on the menu for us (they're Wren's favorite!), and then for dessert, a sno-cone! But we were in for a surprise, this one came with creamed corn on top, and beans on the bottom! Whaaaat?!
We enjoyed the signs.
A delightful find was the 250 acre nature park, Gardens by the Bay.
 We dined at Satay by the Bay, enjoyed the talking topiary (you push a button and the sound of the topiary comes out of the thing!), visited an energy museum, and more!
A highlight wAS the Supertrees, a grove of 18 giant vertical gardens. Twice a night they come alive in a dazzling 15-minute light and sound display called "Garden Rhapsody".
Another grand and fascinating light-up artsy display, was the 334 giant eggs floating on dragonfly lake, that only later we saw that they lighted up AND changed colors in a mesmerizing flow.
We also visited Sentosa, a theme-park like island resort that's free to wander through.
Soon, we take an overnight train to Malaysia!
