Singapore

Tuesday night I arrived in Singapore after almost 22 hours of travel time, to the adventure of finding Adrienne in the Singapore airport. Can't say it was the simplest reunion I've ever had, but after about an hour we finally found each other and headed to Little India where we would be staying. That morning we woke up and walked around most of the city going to China Town, a hawker stand, where we got chicken and rice, that was on an episode of Anthony Bourdaine's, “No Reservations,” walked through Orchard street, which is the area with many huge malls, and then walked along the water front called Marina Bay.

We quickly realized how hot it was here, we thought we had been in extreme heat in Thailand but with the humidity here, Thailand has nothing on Singapore. After a long day of walking, we heading back for a quick nap, went to dinner, I got mee goreng. It was delicious it was noodles, with vegetables and lamb and a spicy sauce. We had a few local Tiger beers then we went out for the night in Little India to a Bollywood bar. The next day we woke up and headed out in a different direction went toward Arab Street ,visited a mosque then walked around the rest of the city. We got Roti John for lunch which was toasted bread, egg and lamb with a sweet/spicy sauce. We later went out to Marina Bay on the water and watched a light show then went out for a bit to Boat Quay. Today we are heading to Melaka by bus. Overall I'd say Singapore is a city, with high rises, lots of construction, many people, great public transportation, delicious food, a little more on the “expensive side,” compared to other South East Asian countries we have been, and super clean.
