Playing catch-up 3


Here's a photo of me standing in front of the LDS Church building in Singapore; it's just a short walk from the Newton MRT transit station. I walked outside to take a photo after the meeting bloc but before the fireside. The missionaries walked by (Elder Nixon from Alexandria VA and his companion, whose name I forgot, sorry, from Sri Lanka) and offered to take the photo. (I later saw them contacting people at the Yishun MRT transit station, which is where I got off the train to catch the bus back to USNS Mercy.)




Shell waits for the southbound MRT train that travels to Marina Bay. We will get off at Toa Payoh, where there is a park and a shopping center with an outdoor market.



The bus from the Sembawang pier in Singapore drops us off at the Yishun transit center, from where we can take the MTR to anywhere in Singapore. Right across the street from the transit center is the North Point shopping center, with a KFC and a Swensens on the ground floor. Just down the block is a movie theater, where I watched "Get Smart" in English but with Mandarin subtitles.



As we got closer to Singapore, we saw a lot of other ships in the shipping lanes. Here's another ship on the horizon at sunset the second night out from Vietnam.




IT1 Mamer bought a Vietnamese fishing boat; it was delivered to the pier on a scooter. The boat is being stored near our workstations here in Ward 13, because we have room for it down here.
