A Day in Singapore
Monday, January 14th, 2008Compared to the other southeast asian cities we have been to, Singapore is extremely organized and clean. It is also, unfortunately, quite expensive. As Dan and I looked for dinner options in the upscale Clark Quay we realized that all the restaurants were way over our budget. So, we ended up at the cheapest place we could found which was a Hooters. Not quite tasting the local cuisine but sometimes you just need a good ol’ american burger…and if the burger arrives via a scantily clad woman, so be it.
We spent the day seeing the sights of Singapore, including the many malls which you can not miss, even if you try. Singapore is a shoppers paradise but since Dan and I not shoppers, we were not able to appreciate it fully.
Fun fact about Singapore: if you buy a flat in the same building as your parents, the government will subsidize $40,000 of the cost–talk about an incentive for moving in next door to the folks!
