We can go Anywhr on this Island!

We've been finding more new ways to pass the time. Matching masks, a do or a don't? And are sloths now overdone? Oh look, Barry has a kayak, thanks to Anywhr "daycations", which are now a thing!
That's right, we went fishing! Despite being Canadian, I've never done a thing to a fish before.
But I caught the prettiest fish! (No fish were killed and all were returned to the ocean). Also, this is technically the first time I've left the island in 2020, after returning Feb 1.
Luckily, we did not have to manage oars (easy) along with fishing rods (hard), since I sometimes turned the twirly-bob the wrong way.
What else have we been doing for fun?
That's right, Chinese tea tasting. Stuck on a tropical island, so it's time to try new things!
After appreciating many other types of beverages, it was time to learn about the leaves.
Barry got to pretend to be the tea master.
So did I, but the shadows make it look like I've been rained upon.
Our conclusion: Tea is still not our thing, but there was learning, and tiny pots, so fun was had.
After this, we went to the Intan, which is a private Peranakan (mixed Malay/Chinese culture) museum featured in the Singapore Airlines safety video. We were star-struck.
Alvin Yap showed us his collections, cooked for us, and even played piano, all of which was spectacular! (No pictures, you have to go see for yourself!)
