Forget Singapore itself; just coming back from Singapore Changi Airport to an airport in the US is one of the most depressing feelings ever. It's nicer than most cities on earth IMO. Probably the only airport I don't mind a long layover in at all

The movie Crazy Rich Asians had me interested in Singapore. I want to book a room at that fancy hotel lol

And I work a 3pm-1130pm shift guys. That's why I wake up late.


*edit

I think I remember that a Singapore hawker joint got a Michelin star. I wanna try that one.

This is the Hotel:
Marina Bay Sands.
Pool only accessible by guests with room key.

I ate these 2X a day for a week straight the first time I went to Taipei.

Singapore is cool cause you can use it as a layover for a Southeast Asia trip. You can do it big for 2 days, see/do everything, then move on to some place more affordable

Highkey i plan to do this everytime i do an Asia trip in the future. Need at least two days in Singapore to eat

I lie to my relatives that live in SG every time I'm there (they're not close relatives so it's ok). I tell them I'm in town for a day, get dinner with them, andthen I spend the next day pretending I'm rich at Marina Bay

This was the only upscale tea shop that I've ever gotten a table at in my life. I figured that if I was gonna play the rich role, I had to go all in on it and do every bougie activity possible

I took a solo trip to SG a few years ago, cheaped out and stayed at a decent hostel but spent $$$$ everywhere else lol. This was in September too so I had to go back to the hostel every afternoon to shower and change clothes

If its your first time then you should definitely spend a few more days there

Since i've been there before, i can probably knock out everything I want to eat in two days. Don't really need to do any of the touristy stuff there anymore tbh

It's extremely tiny. My relatives there find it boring due to how small it is, but the good part is that it's a massive airline hub that allows you to go all over Southeast Asia very easily (and for cheap). You can fly out to Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, etc. whenever you're bored.

Airport so fab could spend one day there.


Singapore someday.

 

[everysingletime]

How much money would you guys say you need for a bougie vacation at Singapore?

I have money but I also want to go to Korea and Japan too

You don't think so? Maybe I'm just looking at it from a tourist site perspective. I've been able to take my friends to all major points/districts other than Sentosa Island in 1.5 days (granted, we're out and about almost the entire time)

I'm not into clubbing, so all we did was hit up a few bars at Clark Quay after a day out

I wish I spent more time in Osaka. I planned my two weeks in Tokyo. On one of the days I woke up at 6am and decided to go to Osaka. Took the bullet train just to go to Dotonbori. Got off the station and didn't know which direction and this cute *** girl and her mom said they will walk me there. I was afraid of missing the train back and left to go back to Tokyo at 5pm. Man, she was cute...she was trying to speak English the whole time to me.
