If you've been reading the blog for a little while then you know that back in April we traveled to Vietnam and met my dad's family for the very first time. The family members included my cousins, Hung and Ngan. They were both so sweet and we knew right away that we wanted to be sure and have another opportunity to get to know them better. So on our last day in Vietnam we asked them to please consider our offer to bring them over to Singapore for a weekend to see a new country and spend time with us. We're so glad they accepted! They visited us here a few weeks ago and we spent 3 fun-filled days getting to know more about them. It's so great to have "new" family members!
We took them all around Singapore showing them all of the usual hot spots, but I must say, the weekend seemed to be more about food than anything else! There were so many new things we wanted to introduce them to...local cuisine like chili crab and American cuisine like trips to McDonalds and Chilis :) They most certainly didn't go hungry while they were here. In fact, I'm pretty sure they returned to Vietnam a few pounds heavier ;) Hopefully, it was all worth the fun we had together.
Thanks for coming to see us in Singapore, Hung and Ngan! We hope we'll be able to spend time with you again...maybe next time in the US! :)
Our first lunch together...steamed pork dumplings!

Breakfast at McDonald's. Ngan had never even heard of McDonald's before...which Matt thought was refreshing, haha!
Walking through Clarke Quay
On the cable car to Sentosa - their first time being on one!

Dinner at Chilis. They asked us to order for them so we chose ribs for Hung and a hamburger for Ngan. They liked the food (or at least we think they did), but they couldn't get over the American sized portions! There's a reason we're so much bigger than them... ;)

The end to a very fun weekend!
