Singapore

WE’RE ON HOLIDAY!!! FOR A YEAR!!!!!

First up, Singapore.

After a late arrival and a night at the airport, we set off for our accommodation in Chinatown.

I had already checked the best hawker centres in the area, so after dumping our massive bags at the compact accom we were off to find our dinner. The name of our local hawker centre was the ‘Maxwell Food Centre’ and was one of the top 10 hawker centres in Singapore. The food was so cheap. We had dinner here a couple of times during our stay.

The next day we set out for the Singapore National Museum and learnt about how this small island nation went from a poor fishing town, to what it is today. We also visited the Singapore National Gallery.

On Day 3 we caught the bus to Little India, it was full of Indian temples, Indian markets and… Indian food, we had the best chicken biryani in the whole entire world, it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(fine, I’ll stop typing o’s)
good!

Later that day, we visited Gardens by the Bay to see the Super Tree Light Show. It. Was. Amazing. No, it was spectacularly amazing. There were loads of people and that was no surprise after watching the show, but the best part… it was absolutely FREE.

On our last day, we walked along the Kallang river to Marina Bay where we sat down and watched The Merlion (a half fish, half lion statue) squirt water out of it’s mouth. On the walk back, we had a look at the Asian Civilisations Museum, we popped into the Park Royal to see if we could sneak into their pool. Turns out my dad isn’t as sneaky as I thought.

Singapore was pretty good but now we’re onto our next destination… The Philippines!
