Gym camp and lunch

This morning was Juliana’s camp at the Little Gym, so Jacob had his second chance to enjoy the opportunity with her. She got to show off all of the skills she has learned this term, including her flips on the bar, walking on the beam, forward and backward rolls.
And of course, the class ended with lots of bubbles to play with!
After camp, we headed over to the apartment of one of Jacob’s coworker’s for lunch. They moved over to Singapore from the U.S. also, but are both originally from India and have three children. We had a lovely time and both look forward to seeing them again. Juliana was intrigued by their youngest daughter and even gave her kisses!
On another note, I recently read an article that noted how Singapore has recently been renamed the top expatriate city in Asia. It states, "Good infrastructure and health care facilities, low crime and health risks, and decent air quality contribute to Singapore providing the best quality of living for Asian assignees." The safety and cleanliness of the city is one of the biggest reasons why Jacob & I (as well as many other expats that I have talked to) love Singapore. My experience with cities is quite limited, but compared to what I have seen, the government strives to ensure that the city remains as welcoming to families as possible. In Boston, I could never have imagined riding the train at 11:00 at night, but out here, it doesn’t even phase me!
