Touring the Singapore Zoo...

Last Sunday, Chin Wei, his buddy, my buddy and I went to the Singapore Zoo. As they had slept in our respective houses the previous day, there was no need to fetch them from the hostel. Chin Wei's mother fetched us from home to the Zoo. Soon, we were at the Zoo. There, we started taking photos while Chin Wei went to get the tickets for entry. Soon, we entered the Zoo, and looked around for a map so that we could find out the feeding times and the show times. We went to the closest place first, the 'Treetops Trail'. As my buddy saw that animals were somewhat in a place without windows, and animals were free to roam, my buddy commented," Beijing does not have this! All the animals in the zoo are in cages or enclosures, this is the first time I have seen this!" And so, we continued viewing the animals on our way to a restaurant in the zoo for lunch.
After lunch, we started to see animals being fed, and also viewed a show called 'Save the rain forest'. It is about a girl who lives in a rain forest, and one day a rich businessman, who wishes to build a massive shopping complex, asks her for directions to a particular spot on photo that he got from another person. Unaware of what the business man was going to do, the girl leads the man to the spot that he is looking for. he then starts cutting down trees with a chainsaw. The girl realizes what she has done, and in the end, good triumphs over evil and the day is saved.
Here are some pictures from the show...

Finally, we went to see white tigers being fed and then sent my buddies back to the hostel so that they could sleep there.
