Butterfly House & Insect World

It was raining yet again on Thursday, which meant that Bistro wasn't opened for business. Just when I thought I was having yet another day off again, Bryan (my manager) told me to help out at the Epicurean from 12pm. So I continued to use my laptop in the cafe, ate lunch and reported for work. It turned out that there was going to be a function at the Epicurean that night and we had to set the tables differently from what we do for the breakfast. Each guest was supposed to have 1 water glass, 1 red wine glass, 1 white wine glass, 4 pairs of forks & knifes and 1 butter knife on a saucer. Everything must be placed neatly in a standardized way. You can imagine the amount of work required. It wasn't too tiring though and I knocked off at 3pm.

Mingna and Alex were also done with their housekeeping work for the day. We went downtown to open a bank account before it closed at 4pm. On the way back to the resort, we dropped by the Butterfly House & Insect World, which is located just behind St Anne Church. There's free admission for Mission Point employees, so we wasted no time and went in to take a look.

The Butterfly Garden is in fact a greenhouse. It can get really warm inside after some time.

After dinner, we went to the theater beside the Activities Center to watch a play titled 'Hansel & Gretel' by a group of 4th-7th grade school children who are from a school on the island. Alex and I went to play some pool and table-tennis before resting for the night.
