Final Thoughts: Singapore
Posted by Dave on March 5th, 2008

My memories of Singapore will be forever tied to the variety of delicious foods available, and Ian’s hospitality. Many people will claim you can see the city in a day, however I found 4 days to be far too short to truly get a feel for the life and culture of this wonderful city/country.
Highlights -
- couchsurfing with Ian
- admiring the modern architecture
- holding my first snake
- Singapore Sling at The Long Bar
- eating Indian food with the restaurant owner, Ian and Waffa
- assaulting a crab dinner
- tasting Durian for the first time
- side trip to Malaysia
- eating….everything
- exploring the airport

Discoveries -
- it is possible to eat too much of a good thing
# of Nights Couchsurfing -
4
Eating -
A different traditional dish or cuisine for every meal and no western food for 4 days, crab, noodles, chicken, rice, Tiger beer, sugar cane juice, coconut water
Average Daily Budget -
$51
Dare Me to do something fun, weird, or challenging on the road!


My final thoughts…the food in Singapore looks AWESOME.
Yes, it left quite an impression on me.
Yes the food looks awesome do you think it would have been a good stop if you had not been able to couchsurf and had a wonderful guide?
Nope, having a local made my time there much more efficient and easy-going.
Awesome that you were able to have such a great experience with a local! Keep up the great tales.
