Chasing Chaos: Singapore

I LOVE SINGAPORE!!

Although the added flights to Singapore pushed us over budget Kayla and I are definitely glad we made the trip. Unfortunately were only there for 2 days so we didn't see half of what we wanted to. One of the first things we noticed was the lack of trash on the streets. While traveling through SE Asia it is something that you get used to or expect. The second thing that we noticed was that there was a different mall on every corner. Since we pulled an all nighter before our flight we went straight to our hostel in Little India and hit the sack. We wanted to make sure we were refreshed and ready for our first full day in Singapore. The next morning we set out to see the Singapore Flyer. It is very similar to the London Eye and allows you to see most of Singapore as well as glimpses of Malaysia and Indonesia. We marked a route on our map and headed out. Along the way we thought that we would be really smart and cut through the malls to both make our trip shorter and take a break from the heat. We soon realized the error in this decision when after exiting one of the malls we found that we had traveled quite a ways in the wrong direction. We took it all in stride and after almost 4 hours arrived at the Flyer. It costs about $30 a person and you are on the Flyer for about 30 minutes. The views were AMAZING!

By the end of the weekend we had seen Little India, Chinatown, EVERY mall possible, and the marina. It is definitely a place we will add to our "Must come back" list.
