sightseeing for seniors
my mom’s finally here for four days now, but haven’t really done much sightseeing aside from walking along orchard road. honestly, i’m not sure where to take her and my aunt. they’re not that keen on signature label fashion, she can’t do waking tours anymore, and i’m not sure they’ll be all that interested in the zoo and bird parks. nor are they interested in shopping for computers, cameras, LCD TVs, and other electronics. the duck tour and the merlion park should be good, but what else?!?
so far, what i’ve suceeded showing them is how our day to day life here is — where jan’s kindergarten is, how the public transportation is like, the local fruits and veggies, the hospital (i had to go for a check up and they went along), the hawker fare. not what the ordinary tourist’s itinerary would be filled with by any means!

i guess just being with you all is fine for them. more exciting and interesting to be with the kids than lining-up and squeezing yourself in the midst of “lahs”

i hope this is not late. Sana nag-email ka sa naw. eniwei, nung pumunta dito yung mga tita & tito ko from US (puro senior citizens sila). Na-enjoy nila ang duck tour, shopping sa chinatown and Jurong Bird Park. Super happy sila sa bird show. Natuwa sila sa chinatown kasi maraming mabibili na mura at malinis daw compared sa chinatown sa NY. They also enjoyed playing golf in Orchid Country Club. Ang hindi nila na-enjoy ay ang Little India. Sentosa naman so-so for them. Pero syempre they have to see the giant Merlion.
