turtles and tortoises!

We visited the turtle and tortoise museum this afternoon, and I was pleasantly surprised. First of all, I have not heard of it before at all... And I never knew that turtles and tortoises could be such interesting creatures! We also saw for ourselves how passionate Uncle Tan was of his turtles and tortoises. He was such a nice and sweet man! Though it is a little out of the way, you must pay a visit to this little-known but quaint place tucked inside Chinese Garden. There, you'll be amazed by the sheer number of turtle and tortoise species and artifacts of the same kind. He collects them from all over the world and has been doing so for about 40 years or so. He also holds the Guiness World Record for most number of turtle/tortoise species and artifacts. Also, the only living 2 headed and 6-legged turtle resides there. Cool isn't it? Go check out their website if you wanna know more! I urge you to pay them a visit too!
