Day 6: Dinner at Holland Village

I'm posting this the morning after because I got home so late last night that I promptly fell into bed, but it should still be Thursday over in the U.S. by the time this goes up.

Anyways, I went to dinner at Holland Village with my student buddy, one of her friends, and a bunch of other international students. In total, our group consisted of two German girls, a Vietnamese girl, a Japanese girl, a young man from the Netherlands, two Singapore natives, and myself. We used the MRT (Magnetic Rail Train) to get to Holland Village, and we went to a Western restaurant there because it was the only place we could sit down and talk. The food was yummy, and they did cute things with the presentation like forming a heart out of the cream in hot chocolate or putting an egg mayo sandwich in a basket. And then some person got this HUGE drink for his birthday. I have no idea what it was, but I probably wouldn't be able to drink that much in a whole day.


After dinner, we explored Holland Village a bit more. We went to the Each a Cup drink stand and got tea and smoothies. I spent ages debating what to get because I didn't even know what most of the stuff was. Eventually, the lady running the stand recommended the mango passion smoothie, so I ordered that. It was actually really good, which is saying something because I don't like most fruit. I usually find fruit to be too sweet or too tart, but the smoothie struck a perfect balance between the two.


After that, we took the MRT back to UTown. I forgot to film the station on the way there, so I did it on the way back. And when I got to UTown, it was all lit up with pretty lights that I hadn't seen before, so I filmed those, too.


It was past eleven by the time I got back to my room, but I had a good time. We have another trip planned for Saturday: our group's headed for Little India! And today (Friday) I'm going to the One New Year in Asia party. It sounds like a fun-filled weekend!
