Singapore Stopover

Stopovers are usually pretty annoying, if you have enough time to leave the airport and do some sightseeing then it can be quite fun.

Having 8h to spend in Singapore till the next flight to Da Nang meant there was enough time for some sightseeing.

Singapore is not my favorite place, it's expensive and lacks character but it's ok for a short stay and even better for just a stopover.

This being Sunday the city felt pretty empty and most places were closed but at least Chinatown is always open and bustling, it also offers some cheap places to eat.

Day 289 - Leaving Singapore for Bandung

After booking a flight to Bandung late last night for this afternoon, I decided to take it easy in the morning and make the most of the free breakfast at my hostel.

Day 288 - Little India and Bugis

It looks like for me the way to explore the different  areas in Singapore is to change hotels. Not that hotels are very good though, Singapore has so far the worst value for money (and probably also overall) hotels in all of Asia.
Since last night I stayed in Little India, it made sense to explore it a bit before going to my new hostel in the Bugis area.

Day 287 - Gardens By The Bay

The first really sunny and very hot day in Singapore and I was debating if I preferred the rain instead as it was a bit cooler and less humid.

Day 286 - Quiet Day in SG

In the morning I was just walking around Chinatown again before meeting a friend, I first met in Vietnam.

Day 285 - Around SG Chinatown

After changing my hotel this morning to none located in Chinatown , it made sense to explore the area a bit.

Day 284 - Singapore around Marina Bay

After a reasonably comfortable flight, where I didn't get much sleep, the plane landed in Singapore in the morning.
