54-56 Singapore

 Everything people say about Singapore is true!! Singapore is world’s only island city-state, and the world’s second busiest port by tonnage. Many are extremely wealthy and technically advanced. 

Here are some general photos of the city.

This hotel costs between $5-10k/ night 

The Merlion, the symbol of Singapore

The National Orchid Garden

We went on a night canal ride and to the Raffles Hotel (only $2k/night), home of the Singapore Sling!

My new car! You need a certificate of Entitlement to buy a car here. The COE costs $150k just to look at a car and it’s only good for 10 years. Cars start in the $150k range.

Cost at the bar $35

The Long Bar

Finally, we went on the cable car across the city!!

A resort

The Merlion fudgsicle only $8 but worth every bite

We went to McDonald’s for lunch. Filet of fish, medium fries, and a bottle of water was $3.96 US.  Their $5 menu. Go figure. 

Btw, the vat of stuff from the last post was sea cucumbers.
