Singapore, Singapore Day 1/3

Today is our first day in Singapore. We have 3 days here. Our first and last day are only 1/2 days but we plan on maximizing our time the best we can.
We arrived at noon and had face to face immigration with passports and immigration forms completed. We are traveling with Tom and Tammy using the MRT (subway) to get around the city.
Singapore is an island country and city-state in maritime Southeast Asia. It is located about one degree of latitude (137 kilometres or 85 miles) north of the equator, off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, bordering the Strait of Malacca to the west, the Singapore Strait to the south along with the Riau Islands in Indonesia, the South China Sea to the east, and the Straits of Johor along with the State of Johor in Malaysia to the north. The country's territory comprises one main island, 63 satellite islands and islets, and one outlying islet;. It has the second highest population density of any country in the world.
We buy 3 day MRT(subway) passes. Our first stop is Chinatown to see the Chinatown street market.
Chinatown's maze of narrow roads includes Chinatown Food Street, with its restaurants serving traditional fare like Hainanese chicken rice, noodles and satay. Souvenir shops and indie boutiques dot the area, offering clothes etc. Cultural institutions here include the 1827 Sri Mariamman Temple and the ornate Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum.
We then went to Mohammed Ali Lane to see the murals and stop into the Sri Mariamman Temple. It is over the top in decorations.
We proceeded from there to the Changi Airport to see the Jewel. The most amazing airport we had ever been in.
Per google:
Step out of the airport right into a lush green sanctuary, a tranquil retreat in the core of the world's best transport hub. Immerse yourself in this garden wonderland and meet Singapore, the City in Nature.
Jewel houses more than 2,000 trees and palms, and over 10,000 shrubs covering a total area of more than 21,000sqm. There are some 120 species, originating from countries all around the globe, such as Australia, Spain, Thailand, and the United States.

We decided head back into the city and stop in the Chijmus which is an old convent and orphanage that has been converted into many eateries . We eat at a Japanese restaurant where we cooked our own steak. It was fun, different and the steak was good.
We catch the MRT and return to the ship. It’s late but one of our favorite bartenders leaves tomorrow for his 2 month break and we want to bid him farewell so we head to Torshaven, the night club for a quick night cap and then head for bed.Read more
