Final Thoughts: Singapore

My memories of Singapore will be forever tied to the variety of delicious foods available, and Ian's hospitality. Many people will claim you can see the city in a day, however I found 4 days to be far too short to truly get a feel for the life and culture of this wonderful city/country.

• couchsurfing with Ian
• admiring the modern architecture
• holding my first snake
• Singapore Sling at The Long Bar
• eating Indian food with the restaurant owner, Ian and Waffa
