24 hours in Singapore City
Singapore was a bit of a whistle stop tour due to time restraints, but I really liked it, and there was loads more I could have done. It is one of the most organised and clean places I have ever been to. I loved it. I think someone must have been handing out iPhones, as everyone I saw had one, along with any other gadget available. Singapore is pretty big on the shopping too, there are malls everywhere, everywhere I turned I seemed to have accidentally found myself in to a mall of some description.
Singapore was 'discovered' in the 1800's by Sir Stamford Raffles, hence the naming of the famous hotel where you can go and get a Singapore Sling (a cocktail, and here it is $30!), I am living on a budget, so opted for taking a photo of the outside of the building and got a little lost on the tour I gave myself around it and ended up inside it...I quickly escaped though, oh, but not before using their facilities.
The botanical gardens were really nice, about the only place I went that wasn't air conditioned to freezing temperatures! It may be hot in Singapore, but they certainly over compensate for it in the air conditioning everywhere you go.
This is the famous icon of Singapore, a stone lion that spits out water.
There was other stuff I wanted to see but ran out of time. Am now in Australia! Culture shock again. Arrived in the middle of the night last night.
Just put this up because it amused me at a cafe in Singapore...
