I was really excited to go back to Singapore to enjoy the cleaness and western feel of the city.
We checked into somewhere a little less expensive this time, a £10 hostel (yes there are cheap places in Singapore!).
We went to the harbour which was nice to see in the day and visited the Ritz Carlton hotel to view and iPod guided art tour (how very cultural). We mainly enjoyed exploring the hotel which was amazing and spent a large amount of time longingly looking at the amazing food spread which was just £80 per person for afternoon tea (hence why we just looked longingly...).
We also visited Raffles, but having treated myself to a Singapore sling last time, there was no chance I could warrant a second drink! So instead we explored the (ex) hotel which contained mainly shops now.
Whilst in Singapore we also visited little India and Bugis Street which have us snippets into the not so glamorous side of Singapore. It was interesting how each place was so incredibly different.
Annie, Phoebe's friend from Uni who we had now met up with, had a friend how is an expat working in Singapore, and she kindly showed us around the town in the evening.
We went to Marina Bay Sands Hotel, the most go place and splashed out on a silly expensive cocktail. It was well worth it as the view was really amazing and you could see the whole of Singapore.
Then we went to ??? Quays which had a really good atmosphere and there were loads of westerners about. It sounded like such a great lifestyle with everyone going out for drinks after work.
Chilling at the harbour with an amazing view!
I really felt comfortable in Singapore and at home and can definitely see why there are so many expats there, it would be an incredible place to live for a year or two. Who knows...
