Singapore

One hour flight to Singapore arriving mid afternoon. With just the one night here, and the crazy heat, decided to just hang out near my hotel area, which was really nice.

Had some satay chicken skewers and a beer at the open air restaurant on the ground floor of my hotel. Noticed on the map that there was a micro brewery 2 blocks away, so wandered over there to try it out.

As i tried to enter, there was a guy at the door and a ton of people lined up inside. He asked if i was here for the event. I said oh, is this a private function? He said no, its our daily free beer event we do everyday between 5 and 530 and theres only 3 minutes left. He offered me a free beer only if i promised to buy another one after. I said sure, sounds good.

This guy was the manager Richard from england. Super nice guy. Chatted with me for 30 minutes and then got back to work. Three guys from india sat next to me and eventually i struck up a conversation with them. Played pool with one of them for a while and then we all relocated to this taproom i spotted a block away

At the taproom, they had fantastic craft beers similar to what i look for back home. We broke out a deck of cards and i taught them a game from canada, which was hilarious fun. Played for quite a while and eventually they all had to go

One stayed behind for me to finish my pint and then we chatted and walked to his building. The friends made me promise i would get him home. Mission accomplished. Then walked down to the harborfront area where there was a huge number of people and establishments.

Didnt stay too long and walked back to my hotel for the night. Singapore is such a fantastic place. I think i will stay multiple nights next time i am passing through.Read more
