Singapur

After 12 hours of flight we made a short stop in Singapur. It was 7 a.m. local time and 1 a.m. at home, so we had a jet lag, but it didn't stop us from exploring the City center. We just said to the taxi driver to drop us somewhere in the center, where he thinks is the best place to start some sightseeing and after 20 minutes of ride we stopped at one of the Monuments of Singapore: Merlion, which is a fountain with a lion head and a fish body directly opposite of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. From there we made a small trip around the bay to see the stuff like the financial center, the Museum of Design, the Museum of ArtScience, the Marina Bay Sands Expo- and Shopping Center, the Helixbridge or the outdoor Theater. The most exciting thing for William was definitely the model of the Fullerton hotel, made from about a half Million pieces of Lego and weighing 500 kg, standing directly infront of the real hotel.
At 1 p.m. local time we needed to go back to the airport to catch our flight to Hanoi. The Airport part called Jewel is also worth visiting, with its big waterfall coming from the middle of the glass roof and the tropical forest around it.
If we should decribe Singapore after the few hours there with 3 words it would be: amazing, clean and expensive.
We are coming again at the end of our trip to see more of it.Read more
