Singapore

Today we toured Little India with a guide in the morning, followed by a quick walk-through Arab Town.

It is such an efficient city and so easy to get around by transit. Each day has been filled with a tour, lots of walking, eating and an evening light show. There are so many shopping malls here it is crazy. The highlight for me had been the flower dome and cloud forest dome. These are basically giant bio domes filled with gardens. The Cloud Forest mimics lush vegetation of the tropical highlands and has a tall waterfall. The designs, layouts and plants are awe inspiring. We spent 4 hours walking around the area. The whole park area is self sustaining, and they have these super trees (25 -50 meters tall) in the outside garden which collect rain for water and sun for energy so the net cost on the environment is zero. They are also covered in vertical gardens which blend them in to the surrounding gardens. The super trees light up in the evening time with a popular light show.

In the evening we hopped on the subway and head to Geylang and had a relaxing dinner and drinks at the Tuckshop along the Geylang river. Felt like being at a trending bar back home.Okumaya devam et
