Singapore is so much better than I expected, though I can’t really judge accurately considering I’ve only been here 22 hours. It’s my stop en route to Bali, but I have to say that it’s nice. A perfectly clean and beautiful Asian city with more malls than I can count. How is it possible for one city to have SO MANY MALLS?! No wonder my Mom loves this place! Changi Airport is a destination mall in itself!
Anyway, I was here one night and managed to meet up with an old friend from Goog. =) So wonderful to see him happy and settled in a city that feels so so Asian and yet very international. I didn’t get a chance to see much of the place but am saving room on my way back to SFO sometime within the next few months. This place is hot and humid and such a pleasant relief from the crazy capital cities everywhere else in Asia. It’s not polluted or dirty, and people are incredibly friendly. Until next time Singapore. We’ll meet again soon.
Next stop: Ubud, Bali. I’ve been longing to see this place for years, ever since I read Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (one of my all-time favourite books). I found a place to stay just outside of town, amid rice paddies and jungles. I cannot wait for a little R&R =)
