Day 2: Morning Excursion

After falling into and deep and satisfying sleep at 8:30 pm Singapore time, I woke up at 5 am and found I had very little desire to go back to bed.  Instead I decided to tour University town in cool early morning and take some pics of this awesome part of NUS.

This is the SingTel building (affectionately dubbed the Tetris Building by the Undergrads) as seen from the dorm.  Next came the elephants...

These big guys/gals are in the region of the four Utown dorms.  They were our meeting spot yesterday but sadly our new meeting spot is just the Utown bus stop.  Next up, views from the quad.

Here you can see a couple of vantage point of what I am calling the Utown Quad.  Here in Utown we have access to a rooftop pool, a full service gym, two food courts, computer labs, restaurants, two quickie marts, and more.  Next up, the plaza.

Although I did take a tour of Utown, I still am not sure what to call this part, so I'll call it the plaza.  Located between the Quad and the bus stop is a beautiful walkway with several restaurants and outdoor seating lined with fountains.  That is all I had time for this morning.  Much more to come as I learn more about NUS and Singapore!
