A Mini Tour of Southeast Asia: Singapore

We weren’t supposed to go to Singapore after the Maldives.

Before we left for the Maldives, Brennan and I had talked about all the credit card rewards we had that were expiring at the end of the year and realized we had several nights in hotels left that we didn’t have a plan for yet. The best place to use these was in Southeast Asia. So, instead of flying to Bucharest, Romania like we originally intended, we got on a red eye flight from Male, Maldives to Singapore (with a quick layover in Kuala Lumpur).

We booked a hotel in the Little India area of Singapore. While this is a little farther out of the main tourist areas, Singapore is such a geographically small city that it was very easy to get everywhere we needed to go. We had an amazing cab driver from the airport who narrated our entire drive and gave us lots of tips about things to try and places to visit while we were in town.

​We arrived to our hotel and were able to get to our room right away. We both really wanted to go to sleep, but knew it would be better to stay awake and keep a more regular schedule. We went and walked around the neighborhood, as well as heading to a mall so I could get a raincoat.
