Shooby, Bao-er, and Bao-er's sister, Bao-yi, arrived at a restaurant tucked away in a little corner of Jurong East Industrial Park. It was called the "African Heartbeat". Ever since Shooby had got a used BMW, the trio had a lot of fun checking out places which were "unreachable" by public buses, or the MRT (train system).
The place was as exotically decorated as the name of the restaurant. The menu included crocodile, and ostrich meat. The girls bravely tried some of the "strange" dishes. The food was tasty, and the presentation pleasing to the eye. The girls had a great time!
(Is the restaurant still there?)

Galveston Ferry Ride
Bao-er, and Bao-yi had spent a couple of weeks with Shooby's family in the States already. They were having a lot of fun! They had been invited to eat with so many families, they felt full all the time! The Americans thought the two girls were tiny, and perhaps, were trying to help them grow a little more!
It was a fine summer day. The sun was shining, and Shooby's mom thought it was a good day to take the girls to the beach in Galveston. Shooby's mom was a wonderful cook. She packed some lunch, and drove the girls to Galveston. The view that greeted the girls when they drove up to the beach, took their breath away! Bao-er, and Bao-yi, had never seen so much of the sea all at once. There were beaches in Singapore, but not as vast as what they were witnessing.
The ladies held hands and jumped in the waves for some time. This was a new experience for the sisters. They were a little afraid at first, but were soon giggling, and jumping wildly, in the sea. The lunch Shooby's mom packed was delicious! They had fun eating the lunch, while watching surfers riding the waves.
Then, they got into the car, and Shooby's mom drove the car right onto a ferry in Galveston Bay! This was another whole new experience for Bao-er, and Bao-yi! The car got to get on the ferry too! Wow! On the ferry, everyone got out of the car, walked, or stood around the ferry. The sisters saw pelicans flying over the sea, trying to catch their lunch! Then, they saw some creatures they would never forget! Pink dolphins! Jumping in and out of the water! Bao-er was so excited! Dolphins were her favorite animals! She had dolphin clips, pendants, earrings, and bracelets! She could not believe she actually got to see real dolphins!
Bao-er would never forget the ride on the ferry!
