7 days | November 2018 | View of Singapore’s skyline from the eastern side of Marina Bay.
Quick Thoughts
In many ways, Singapore reminded me of an alternate universe version of Dubai, or at least a close cousin. It’s the epitome of glamorous living and architectural wonder. You can’t help but wander around with a constant “wow” attached to your lips. Having said that, like Dubai I feel the most valuable element of Singapore is its prominent role as an international travel hub, bringing multi-cultural awareness & infusion into the region. Case in point: the food in Singapore.. *drooling just thinking back to it*
Key Highlights
Link to my collection of Instagram Stories from the trip!
Arab Street / Haji Lane vibes were right up my alley (pun intended). Felt great to relax with a beer in hand listening to live music on a vibrant street / alleyway.
View of Marina Bay skyline. Had to hop over some bushes and endure nagging bugs - still worth it!
Sunrise @ Merlion Park - Go early before it gets too crowded (: Also the place where I first tested out my drone.
Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom - Spent an afternoon surrounded by animals, so no complaints!
I randomly was upgraded to business class for my 1am Emirates Airline flight back home! When life hands you lemonade, you trade it in for mile high champagne and chug.
Things to Know
Singapore is…humid. Like “why did I even bother showering before stepping outside” type of humid. Icing on the cake, apparently that’s the case year-round. Soo…dress accordingly. Like a bathrobe or whatever you’d wear to a sauna.
Everywhere in Singapore is food heaven. I definitely felt spoiled dining out and I highly recommend prioritizing food over everything when visiting. I swear, even the McDonald’s tasted better. And yes I love McDonald’s and I make a point to visit one in every country I travel to. Fight me. #FilletOFish #OreoMcFlurry #LargeFries #McDonalds4Life
