In the Lion City – Singapore

 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Singapore is by far the most diverse place I’ve seen.  We only had three short days to stay here so we had to make the most out of it.  Here is my itinerary in Singapore:

Accommodation: Hotel 81 Star book hotel from booking.com

Transportation: *TIP* since we were only here for three days we wanted to make sure to see lots of sights. This means it was more convenient for us to get an unlimited pass to all public transportation, including the train system and bus network.  You can purchase a transit card (which what most commuters use to take public transport) at Changi Airport.

Must have App: Like I mentioned in my previous travels, make sure to download Citymapper to get you from one destination to another.  This app helps me not get lost and to know which stop to get to off or what transfers to take.  This app is a benefit especially in a big city with modes of transport being buses or trains.  Check their app to see which major cities are available!

Internet service: Used TepWireless for this trip!
