Singapore: A City of Little Cities

March 6, 20184 min readby William & Augustina

We finally found some time to post a quick update from Singapore β€” quite an unusual direction for us, more comfortable in nature than big cities, but we went to explore.

One Day in the City-State

We finally found some time to post a quick update from Singapore. That was quite an unusual direction for us (more often you can meet us in the nature than in the big cities). Anyway, we went to explore the city!

In Singapore sometimes, you feel like it is a city with a lot of little cities inside: China Town, Little India and all the mix of cultures living here. It was too hard for us to feel the real identity of this city in just 1 day even if we walked all day long!

Along the Quays

The riverside quays are where the city really comes alive at night. We walked from Clarke Quay to Robertson Quay and kept going.

Marina Bay Sands

What we will remember the most are extraordinary skyscrapers and impressive architecture. The Marina Bay Sands rooftop is one of those places that actually lives up to the hype β€” the views over the city at sunset are genuinely something else.

Gardens by the Bay

The supertrees at Gardens by the Bay look completely unreal β€” like a sci-fi movie set someone forgot to take down. The Cloud Forest inside is well worth the entrance fee.

Next Stop: Malaysia

And now we are already in Malaysia (a little city called Jerantut). We are preparing our bags and making our way to one of the oldest rainforests in the world tomorrow. But everything about our adventures in Malaysia in the next update.
