Fun Facts about Singapore & Japan!

Every Monday, we set aside a special time for our family to do fun stuff and learn new things together. Since we are newlyweds with no children (yet), occasionally we invite our friends and neighbors to be a part of our FHE. Last week, we did a scavenger hunt - a special edition of Union Square (the apartment we live in) This week, we are going to have a game with questions about Singapore and Japan.
