Seen Green: Singapore

Marina Bay / SG

Singapore

2011

Singapore was an in between curiosity trip. I only stayed for a couple of days, but it was worth the visit. Price wise, I felt it was comparable to living in Washington D.C.

It is extremely developed, clean, hot, and humid. I was amazed by the indoor mall which had a river running through it, as well as the metro. Using the metro in Washington D.C. for six years as well experiencing NYC subway transportation, Singapore's metro was incredible.

Accommodations:

Hotel with breakfast included.

Attractions:

Marina Bay. Spend $20 USD and go to the top of the Sands hotel for a sky view of the city. Botanic Garden, sight seeing bus tour, boat river tour, hawker food stalls, Little India, Raffles Hotel - Long Bar "Singapore Sling." Honestly, I thought the cleanliness of the city was an attraction and great architecture as well. There is a soccer/football pitch on the water!

Food and Drink:

Pricey for South East Asia. Hawker food stalls, satay, noodles, etc.

Transportation:

Metro, walking, and taxis.

Overall Safety:

Extremely safe.

Safety Tip:

Act normal.
