Week Notes Vol 199

One item of my bucket list for 2023 - visiting a new continent. We arrived in Singapore on the 22nd and have been adventuring out daily. There are so many things to explore from both food and culture point of view. I would however recommend going and visiting the national museum and Singapore Chinese Cultural Center first to have a better grasp on local history and language. On one of the days we even managed to get a hike in before it got too hot and humid!

If you are a foodie or simply love food, there’s hawker malls for cheap but delicious fare and also multiple Michelin star restaurants and bars. There’s also tons of free or nearly free activities - the 8:45pm light show at the gardens for example.
