Bumbu and the Eurasian Association

May 18, 2007
Singapore - Day 13

In a drowsy medicated state, I boarded the bus and followed my class to the Eurasian Association today. This place houses a small museum on its grounds which was our primary destination. Our museum tour guides gave us a brief explanation about the
history of the association and how Eurasians came to be in Singapore before leaving us to roam in an exhibit examining the atrocities faced by these people during WWII. Although the displays were informative, I wish we had learned more about the place of Eurasians in Singapore instead.

Waiting for our food


Since my cough was getting worse, I headed back to the NUS dorms after and slept through the afternoon. At night I hopped on the bus with a couple of UBC students to Arab street where we had a scheduled UBC/USP dinner at Bumbu, a restaurant specializing in Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine.

Afterwards, we all headed off to Samar, a Middle Eastern themed restaurant for some drinks.
