I was looking forward to Singapore. I feel a strong connection with her as I was born there and have been fortunate to visit several times since.
We left Mumbai at 10:05 this morning and the flight to Singapore was full and not the best flight I’d ever had! We landed in Singapore at 17:00.
Getting to our hotel from Changi airport in Singapore was incredibly simple, quiet, clean & much less chaotic than India! The two countries are like chalk and cheese and could not be any more different.
We reached our hotel in Robertson Quay just after 18:00. After a quick shower, we headed straight out to Clarkes Quay. And then to Chinatown’s food markets for a few scrumptious chicken satay kebabs, a plate of piping hot noodles, washed down with a large Tiger Beer!
Afterwards, we headed straight out to Singapore’s Night Safari, where I think we were last to leave at just after midnight.
Needing a nightcap, we headed for a local bar in Robertson Quay. I soon found out one more thing that’s different about Singapore & India – the prices. S$16 for one beer! Needless to say, I only had the one beer and luckily for our budget, Rhys didn’t have anything!
I would definitely love to travel to Singapore, and I like beer just as much as the next person, but $16 for one beer?
My aunt and my cousin will be going to Singapore today in the afternoon. Will give them heads up on the beer price.
According my brother, its the cleanest city in the world for him. From the carpets at Changi airport to its sidewalks everywhere. Hopefully I can visit and experience Singapore as well. Good thing I’m not a beer lover
A lot of my friends are working in Singapore right now and I was looking for an article of interest. I will definitely visit this country one of these days.
