Chinatown... not really like China

Things are speeding up as we get closer and closer to HOME! Today we went to Chinatown (maybe to psyche ourselves up to eventually go back to China) to shop and eat, and we had a great time. It wasn't much like China, since it wasn't dirty and smelly, but it did have all the same merchandise... just more expensive! Luckily China taught me to bargain, and I got to show off my skills while buying gifts for people. We even stopped for lunch and experienced the Chinese phenomenon where you think you're ordering one thing and you get something totally different, but you just eat it and smile. It was about the hottest day of my life, so the food and cool lime juice were perfect.

In the afternoon we had to watch American Idol, but I don't really want to talk about it. Let me just say that it is a very disappointing year for me, and when Bo Bice wins I will be very unhappy. Where are the superstars? Bring back Clay! I got some more pool time, since I'd love to come back very tan, and I ate some good food at the California Pizza Kitchen. Most importantly, I finalized plans for tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I'll be swimming with pink dolphins! I'm going to the island of Sentosa (the southernmost tip of Southeast Asia) to hang out on the beach and swim with dolphins. I promise I'll write about it, because it will be awesome! Can't wait! And now, back to the show.
