Last Day in Singapore~

Today we decided to go to the Changi POW Museum
Changi Prison Museum Singapore 
Changi Prison  where Nick's father had been imprisoned and died.

  As a Dutch military Sargent serving in the Dutch military in Indonesia (under the Dutch colony flag) and with World War II breaking out was taken captive and sent to Burma (now called Mayamar) Burma Railway Dutch & British POW - to work in the jungles to build the train tracks through the jungle!  A horrific job as a prisoner of war, (my father and grandfather had also captured and sent there- my father made it through but my grandfather died as well!) 

It was also the plan today to get two one-way tickets to Malaysia at the Singapore border.  We spent most of the time in buses and underground MRT trains! We will take the bus to the border by way of Victoria Bus Terminal and depart on train to Malaysia - a 6-7 hr ride..departing at 2:00 pm.  We had planned to take a rest somewhere on the coast but it turns out the train to Kuala Lumpur was a direct line into KL.  Hmm..have to decide what to do in the morning...our check-out time is at 12 noon. 

Oh yes - we did have dinner at a Indonesia restaurant we found on Orchard Road in a shopping mall there that served Indonesian food....oh yum!  After ordering our meal we sat down and across from us was a very friendly couple who were visiting Singapore from Jakarta!  We had a lovely visit with them.  They were very kind and they noticed this Dutch girl (half Indo) eating the 'hot pepper paste' (sambal badjak) and smiled!
