Destination: Singapore

IMG_1768There are two teams of Stylish Heath reporters in Malaysia and Singapore this week. New to our group are Terlene and Jay who are consummate travelers representing Wolf Trap for the Performing Arts by teaching a STEM program that Terlene has designed called Movers and Shakers, which incorporates forms of movement and creative dramatics for students with a focus on technology. And our regular reporters, Sean and Tony are there partaking in the arts and foods.

An indigenous sweet fruit of the region that is plentiful and extremely ripe, all one need do is peel it back and eat. This red fruit called rambutan is related to lychee and longan fruits.

Down in Brazil

IMG_1663 IMG_1659{Leme, Rio de Janeiro}

Don’t you absolutely love the lyrics to this Michael Franks song…
“Down in Brazil
It takes a day to walk a mile
Time just stand still
And when the people you meet look at you they smile
They still believe in style
They serve you with their sambas ’til
You really know you’re down in ol’ Brazil…” {Down in Brazil on the album Sleeping Gypsy by Michael Franks}

Our reporters enjoyed sweet treats after a day of tanning on the beach and site-seeing so, they headed to Colombo’s confectionery for cool drinks and a few melt in your mouth pastries…look at these tarts!

IMG_1669A couple of marmosets were spotted, which are very small monkeys with relatively long tails. Native to east-central Brazil’s semi-deciduous forest, but also live within the city limits of Rio.

IMG_1677Rio de Janeiro {City}
The second largest city in Brazil and the most visited in the southern hemisphere. Best known for its beaches, carnivals, soccer and the most rhythmic music; I cannot get enough of Brazilian jazz and continue to add to my playlist.
