A little Singapore Sightseeing

Folds into 5 ft. Bed.
After flying 11 hours to Tokyo, then another 7 hours to Singapore, I actually felt pretty good thanks to my terrific Business Class seat and food on Singapore Airlines. Food was great and so was the service.  The 2 hour layover in Tokyo was a waste, but I can say I was there.  I literally could not eat all the food they gave me on the flight.  But the fold out bed to 5 ft made for a great sleep from Tokyo to Singapore. 



I checked out my neighborhood. Little stores (7/11, McDonalds. KFC) and a lot of young students who attend the School of the Arts Singapore.  Wild building.

Then I figured it would be wise to check out the MRT, mass transit system.


After I felt comfortable enough to rise to the surface, I walked around the Bay area to see the skyline and a couple of iconic spots.  The shocker here is really the heat and humidity.  As I walked around, I literally was pouring sweat. But after 5 days now, I'm starting to adjust.  I'll do a blog on how Singaporeans beat the heat, because they hate it just as much.


Heading out to explore more of Singapore....so far the experience is really cool.  Safe as all get out, clean, tons of food places although many are a little dicey in my mind.  In general, I was impressed with how green surrounds every part of the City.  Trees and plants everywhere with lots of parks scattered about.  So much to see.   The MRT at least can zoom me around to spots all over the country.  Just hit a couple today.  I'll work on a video or two to send along.

Jet lag abating. Later.
