Everyone then met at 3pm for a welcome lunch at a Chinese restaurant. There was a large amount of unique food for everyone to try with a great deal of diverse tastes. One of the most unique fruits Singapore has to offer is called the durian fruit. After lunch we each tried some of this at one of the market stalls. It has a very interesting flavor that is like nothing i have tasted in America.
After lunch we walked through an outdoor market place and then made our way to one of Singapore's many many shopping malls. When we were done hanging with our new Singapore friends, we each returned home to our host families house to get ready for another exciting day tomorrow!

Sounds like a great time. I'm gathering food is the prime source of entertainment there; so many foods that you don't see in America. I've heard of durians, they're the spiky looking fruit right? Did it remind you of any other fruit?
