Zurich



We have finally arrived in Zurich. The trams here are very interesting. They are numbered 2-11 and 13-15. The picture on the upper right shows the 9 which runs by us. Another line that runs by us is the 10. There are other forms of trains, especially for going up steep hills. The Sielbahn Rigiblick, near our house, is a funicular railway -- two cars on a long cable. The Dolderbahn (lower right) is a cog-wheel railway -- a rack of gear teeth goes all the way up the hill.

The Singapore Zoo




A few days ago, we went to the Singapore Zoo. It was great!!!!! We saw many interesting animals. One of the first we saw was the proboscis monkey (top right and middle right). They had really long noses. Then we to this jungle place that had turties, flying foxes, tree kangaroos, and other wildlife. In the middle was a viewing platform. We saw a lot of things there.

When I was about to go down, I saw two ringtailed lemurs! One was showing his tail off.
Another animal we saw was the white tiger. There are few in the wild.
