Singapore, Singapore - Day 1, day

Singapore! Brad and I were last here in 1992😳 We certainly didn’t expect it to look the same or to remember our way around. Fortunately, we had a personal, private tour guide to show us around - my friend Amy Morin who moved here from Toronto in September. It was an absolutely joyous reunion.

Singapore is a bustling high density island city-state of about six million people. It’s known as a safe , clean place with incredible architecture and delicious food. We managed to pack in a ton in our two days thanks to Amy.

We arrived at 1 pm and Amy was waiting at the terminal and ordered a Grab (Singapore’s Uber) to take us to the famous Marina Bay Sands. Spectacular. From there, Amy had transit cards ready for us and we hopped on the subway to Chinatown. Then on to Haji Lane in the Arab Quarter. From there, we stopped off at Amy’s home to change into dinner clothes. Her teenagers Jackson and Scarlet were polite but not particularly interested in the old folk visitors. Vienna, the youngest, visited with us the whole time as did Scooter their dog.
