Grocery Store

We ventured out to the area around the hotel yesterday. We are staying near Orchard Road - shopping central - where most tourists come (making prices higher in this area). It is giant building after giant building full of shops. I have no idea how all of them stay in business but there were plenty of people walking around. Singapore is sure a growing city. There is lots of construction and some really cool architecture.

I've got a lot to learn about the cuisine around here! Quite frankly, most of it still looks the same to me. There are lots of noodle dishes and meats/seafood but Starbucks and McDonald's are on almost every corner. I even managed to find a Gloria Jean’s coffee! We also made a trip to the grocery store for the first time. Surprisingly, a lot of the produce was from the US!
