Today Jan and I went to the Botanic Gardens with Maria Booey, from Victoria Rotary Club. We met Rachel another scholar there. She has been unable to meet with her Rotary club as her host is not in contact with her.

We walked through the Rain forest part of the gardens. It was nice to see what Singapore would have been like if it had not become such a huge city. It is strange to thing that Singapore was once a rain forest because there is so little that is not planed here. All of the trees are planted because they proved just the right amount of shade, and they don't drop their leaves so they are low maintenance.

The gardens themselves were very nice. We didn't walk through a lot of the gardens. Jan and I wanted to get back so we could work on essays. I have a 6,000 word essay due on the 12th and I am going to need all the time I can get to make sure it is finished on time.

When we left the gardens Maria took us to the MRT station so that we could easily get back. There is no MRT near the gardens which is a shame, because if there was I would go much more often.
