Jason and Wes to Asia 2011: Universal Studios and other things like being too tall...

Not totally sure, but we think the last time we went to Sentosa was in the 90's. Wesley was very little and Jason and Caroline could both not go on rides by ourselves. Universal Studios didn't exist and the "big deal" thing there was the monorail. Now there is SO MUCH STUFF there, but we scored sweet tickets to Universal Studios (thanks uncle john!) WITH the express pass so we didn't have to wait in line! It was so awesome. You'd think it wouldn't be that much better, but it really, really was.

We got up very early and did the sweet local common thing and took the bus to town, then the MRT from Somerset to Vivo City, and then to Sentosa Express to the island.

*for those of you who don't know, Sentosa is a touristy themed park type island right off the coast of Singapore...next to the shipping yard which is the 2nd largest crate port in the world (neat fact). There is a ton to do and you should go if you're planning on visiting Singapore.

Wesley outside the third food republic we've found...

we're SO asian

Universal Studios...AND they were playing the Jurassic Park Theme Song!! (you should play the theme song as you read on...it'll be good)

The first place we went to was Madagascar.

do not feed the foosa

beware! This was on the back of the sweet ship ride we went on. It was surprisingly good and entertaining for a slow-moving kids ride haha

off to the land of shrek...forgot what it was called

clearly the best place

One of the coolest fountains in the universe

So a quick story--something that Jason did not expect. When we were in line to go on the Battlestar Galactica ride (which was awesome, they had two different paths to take, essentially two different rides, one for HUMANS and one for CYLONS(sp?)) when he got pulled aside and asked to stand and wait to be measured because they thought he was going to be to tall to ride the normal ride. He was over the regular height limit, but could ride in certain seats that were marked on posters near the entrance. To tall?????
