The 1 week milestone
Today was a bit of a different day. Woke up, had breakfast, and went to Karen's church. Was really good, enjoyed the service a lot, even though they got all the visitors to stand up :p. Went and had MaccieD's for lunch, then had to get some more food for the bbq this evening. Got home and helped a bit with food preparation. So that, all in all, takes us up to about 5pm.
Went out, carrying lots of bags of food etc, and took a taxi down to the block of condominiums where one of Karen's aunts lives. Very nice, has a gym, swimming pools, basketball courts, all sorts of stuff! Nice venue for a bbq, all in all. Set stuff up for the bbq, and people started arriving at about 7pm or so. So I got to meet a number of Karen's aunties/uncles/cousins, and a few nephews and neices. Singaporean bbq is very different from UK style. We had rice noodles, tofu puffs, chicken sausages, pork strips, satay, peppers, asparagus, king prawns, and then there was the stuff I didn't eat. There was definitely stingray, and I think there may have been squid. So rather different from the whole UK style of burgers and sausages :p.
Off to a resort in Indonesia for a few days tomorrow, placed called Bintan. If you wanna see, here's the website for it:

Will update again probably after we get back on Wednesday.
