Some places I visited during my trip to Singapore were: The Amusement Park at Haw Pav Village, The restored Alkaff Mansion, Singapore Zoological and Botanical Gardens, Van Kleef Aquarium at Fort Canning Park , the site of the historic chinese statues, and Sentosa. The place I enjoyed the most visiting was Sentosa. Sentosa is an Island just a little bit away from Singapore. I boarded a huge ferry to get there. While in the slow moving ferry, I had some delicious salmon. As I had looked over to Sentosa while still riding the ferry, I could taste the salmon that had gotten stuck between my braces. I had closed my eyes and breathed in the salty smell of the Ocean around us. The squawking of seagulls above us could be heard from miles away. The only noise relaxing was the sound of the water splashing as the ferry headed toward Sentosa. I had hung my arm over the edge of the ferry and while doing so, I could feel droplets of water hitting my hand. As soon as I saw the sign of Sentosa, I knew I would have a wonderful time there.
