Happy Birthday Singapore!

Today is National Day in Singapore.  Singapore became independent 47 years ago.  We have the day off and to celebrate National Day we're having a BBQ much like we would back home.  We've invited some of our new friends to join us.  There's a big parade and celebration around Marina Bay.  They've been practicing the celebration every Saturday since we got here.  It includes paratroopers, helicopters carrying the Singapore flag, fighter jets, and fireworks.  We hope to watch the fireworks from our rooftop.  As you can see National Day is a very big deal here.  Everywhere you go there are banners celebrating the holiday.  Here are a few of the ones we've seen.


Here are photos from our National Day BBQ. Good times and good friends!
