Michael and the Youngs part 2

As Thursday was a holiday in Singapore it provided an opportunity for 'The Three Amigos' to have a whisky tasting at the Smith's on Wednesday...no-one had to work on Thursday. Peter's daughter Katie joined in as well, while Libby and I watched from the sidelines. Apparently they all decided that the 17 year Hibiki was the winner. The first part of Thursday was spent in the recovery position for Michael!
The plan had been to revisit the Buddhist Temple on Thursday night but as the haze worsened as the day progressed, up to 'hazardous' levels most people decided they didn't want to venture out in it. So instead we met with Chris and Pam in the air-conditioned comfort of Vivo City...it appeared that most of Singapore had the same idea. We had a very tasty meal at Jamie's Kitchen and caught up with Chris and Pam's adventures of the last 2 days.

On Friday I had to deliver some paperwork to head office in Bishan so we decided to have lunch over there. As we entered the shopping centre we encountered our first 'haze vestibule.'...not sure that it would be very effective so the residents of the lady cave tried a different form of protection!

Chris and Pam joined Michael for an explore of our local area while I was at work on Saturday before we met up with Robert, Maria and Elizabeth at Kovan for dinner to farewell Elizabeth and Michael. As we arrived back at Rio Vista we investigated the loud music we could hear coming from our 'ámphitheatre' area. Celebrations for the Autumn Festival were in full swing...not sure of the significance of the characters on stage, especially singing that old 'goodie'...YMCA!

After dinner at Grapevine on Sunday night it was farewell to Michael for a couple of weeks.
