Woo Hoo APJ,
We are home from our 2 week Asia adventure. Traveling with Jin is so easy and fun, he loves to get amongst it and we fit in an extraordinary amount. He is absolutely fearless in his site and adventure planning and often has me doing things I never dreamed to do. This holiday he even planned in a whole day of lazy as a gift for me, we woke up late, lazed around the pool, brunched and generally hung out together till going off to some fab little street food diner for dinner. Bliss.
Singapore 2015 Photo Essay
First time in Singapore as a tourist rather than a transient, the easiest country in Asia to be a part of for us English speakers because English and Chinese are the two official languages so almost all signs are or have English. WINNING! They also have a fantastic Metro and Bus system that you can access with a card like the British Oyster system. It’s clean and the people are friendly, the food is awesome and the weather warm all year round. Our mate Julie gave us the inside skinny on everything and entertained usa to the whole islands highs & depths. We met up with friends not seen in years and really would have liked another week because we just could not fit everyone in.
To be honest there are hardly any photos with the crew because we were having too much fun while we were with them. Here is a selction of photos that I did remember to take.
Singapore Airways very back row
Our mate Julie who had us staying with her, excellent tour guide and hostess. (Whitney in the background)
Drinks at the Fullerton Bay Hotel Rooftop for welcome
Portia swimming in the 14th floor pool of Julie’s apartment
We hired bikes and rode along the seafront, here we are stopped at a picnic point
Julie had organised a crew to see Bjorn Again (ABBA tribute) in the Marina Sands Complex (VERY Guggenheim)
Spent the morning at the Marina Bay Gardens, even did the Sky Walk (big thing if you are scared of heights)
Local breakfast
Navigating Singapore by Public Transport
Portia being an idiot, Jin can’t believe it. I don’t know why, it does seem to be my default setting.
High Tea at The Fullerton Hotel, unbelievably yummy and good value too. They kept filling up out trays till we had to waddle out.
We did manage to get to some museums and art galleries but this is the only piece that I fell madly in love with, ancient version of Conchita Wurst
Found a Bangladeshi boy on the street and asked him where in Little India HE ate, took us to a fabulous restaurant 2 people absolutely full of naan and vegetarian food for $4 each, amazing.
Chinatown and Jin finally gets to use his Selfie Stick (I know, but he loves it and if that’s his worst vice I can cope)
Final Singaporean dinner, Chili crab, Spicy chicken and Breaded prawns.
