Singapore

Singapore always seems to be a stopover on our way through to other Asian countries. Consequently, we have explored the airport several times. If you want to stay and explore, the airport is like a mini city. I recommend the cactus garden, for some fresh (humid!) air and a drink at the bar. You can also have a meal and watch a movie for free. The best thing to do though if you have a few hours to spare, is to go on the great free tour of the city, which is organised by the airport people.

Other highlights

  • The city itself has an interesting colonial history, with numerous old buildings to explore
  • Singapore is very clean, and the people friendly
  • You may get a few bargains on electrical goods
  • Some great food can be had in the food stalls to be found everywhere.
