Here’s the promised post about Singapore! Visited for about 5 days, staying next to City Hall. Mostly kept it to sightseeing and eating which was fine by me! Mostly around the downtown area and Sentosa Island. Seeing as how there are so many photos, I’m going to let the captions explain most of my experiences. First, a few observations while there:
– I could sit and stare at some of the buildings for a long time.
– The food is great
– Escalators run fast
– Customer service could be improved, and people are a bit touchy/pushy in crowds… as in, they’ll do that thing where they touch your shoulder to get past you or just bump you.
– Not too many bicycles
– Very diverse culture
– Very expensive chili crab
– Careful when crossing streets, pedestrians don’t seem to have the right of way
– When eating at food courts, people are there to bus the tables
– Cars drive on the left side
– Currency exchange is better in Singapore than in Japan
– Durian tastes like it smells… do not need to try again 😛
I feel like I underestimated how much there is to see and do in Singapore. Sentosa Island by itself has many activities and that alone could be a trip. Still had the rest of the island to discover. Definitely wouldn’t mind going back to see more and eat more! It was a great, short little trip. Till next time, Singapore!
