I landed in Singapore, fresh from Australia, after a really good flight with Qantas- I was sold after we were given a menu to order our food from; you don’t often get that in economy. There was also slightly more room, with seats in twos rather than threes. My travel buddy and I were staying with her aunt and uncle, who were nice enough to collect us from the airport and take us straight to Little India for dinner. After sampling some of the tasty cuisine that Singapore had to offer, we were finally able to crash.
We awoke to find heavy rain- it was monsoon season. It clearly wasn’t stopping any time soon, so we had no choice but to venture out into it. We drove down to a local market for a breakfast of curry. Curry 24/7- I was loving Singapore so far.
Fed and watered, our first stop was Changi Museum. Changi Prison was where Japanese soldiers held prisoners of war during World War II, including my great uncle, so I wanted to know more about what happened there. Our audio guides were informative and included interviews with survivors from the prison. After leaving a note on the remembrance board, it was time to leave.
We headed to Chinatown to meet two girls who we had met in New Zealand, and then again in Australia. Despite some inevitable direction-related confusion, we managed to find them and went off for some Dim Sum. After a snack of a steamed pork bun and steamed sponge (both good choices), we wandered through a nearby market, before settling down to try a Singapore Sling cocktail.
