Singapore

This is my fourth trip to Singapore but my first as a tourist and the first with my family. We have been here since Saturday am and have covered a ton of ground. One thing about us is that we do move and don’t do a lot of idle time. There’s so much to like about Singapore but for me, food is at the top of the list, particularly the “street” food otherwise known here as the hawker markets. Of all the different options I think my personal favorite is the very simple but incredibly delicious chicken rice. My favorite place is Tian Tian, which was made famous by the late Anthony Bourdain and is located near our office here.

Other activities included a trip to the National Museum; a night ride on the enormous Ferris wheel; a visit to the local market where we sampled small and large intestine (kind of gross) three bus tours of the city (including a accident which is a story for another day); a visit to the botanical gardens (a UNESCO Heritage site); Christmas Eve with a colleague and her family and friends and more. Love this city and love the people.

We have one more full day here and then off to Vietnam.
