Hi Besties,
What a week it has been! The bus ended up being a scam, lol. As I mentioned last week, I booked the bus in the first photo but ended up with the bus in the second photo. It looked like I was on my way to a fraternity formal in New Orleans!
Oh well, I made it, and let me tell you—I LOVED SINGAPORE! I could move there tomorrow and be happy. It was a beautiful city, and you really see the essence of the city at night.
I was surprised that it was not nearly as expensive as I thought! It's more expensive than other parts of Southeast Asia, but you can eat at the hawker centers (night markets) for $3 to $5, and there are plenty of free things to do in the city!
So, if you find yourself wanting to go to Asia, I highly recommend that you make a stop in Singapore!
As always, remember you are not alone, and it's never too late to change your life.
TTYL,
Your bestie Cody 💕
⭐️ Weekly Recap ⭐️
I went to see Spectra, the light and water show performed in Singapore every night. I don’t usually like things like this, but it was very pretty.
The next day, I woke up early and got lost in Fort Canning Park (the Central Park of Singapore), where I also visited the spice gallery and the Museum of Singapore. On my way there, I tripped and fell in front of a group of people eating breakfast. They were really kind not to laugh until after I walked by.
After finding my way out of the park, I went to the Singapore Library on Orchard. It was supposed to be the prettiest library in the country, but I was underwhelmed. It was only 1.5 stories tall. I would recommend skipping this one.
Next, I made my way to the Singapore Botanical Gardens. It was a little warm, so I was starting to fade at this part of the day, but I did run into a couple of giant lizards that made me scream, and I visited the art gallery in the area.
My last tourist stop of the day was Gardens by the Bay. Sadly, I didn’t get to see the light show because my phone was at 10%, and the last time my phone died in a city, I ended up walking the streets until 4 am.
You would think I would end the day in a relaxing way. Wrong. I ended up in an alley, half-naked, trying to get back into my hostel. Story time here.
