Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo

We celebrated Hari Raya Haji on December 8th by going to the Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo with our good friends Jeni & John.

Hari Raya Haji, or the "pilgrimage festival" marks the end of a Muslim's pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. It is also known as the Festival of Sacrifice which commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's test of obedience in sacrificing his son Ismail. In Singapore, Hari Raya Haji is a public holiday.

We got to see a lot of cool animals while riding an open tram through the park. Then we enjoyed a burger and some tribal fire dances afterwards. It was a good Hari Raya Haji!
