I passed through immigration, full of "Death to Drug Smugglers" signs. While I don't partake, I found it funny that I was visiting Singapore on April 20. Google it if you don't get it.
The MRT offers day long passes for S$10 (about $8 US), but you have to put down a S$10 deposit on the card and only cash is accepted. Considering that it was an incredibly warm day (about 34ºC), I figured I'd maximize my use of the air-conditioned train system.
I forgot to mention that I watched the Singapore episode of Anthony Bourdain’s “The Layover” a few days beforehand, and found it to be a great guide to visiting the city for just a day. I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves.
Maxwell Road Hawker Centre. I just realized there's a pic of Bourdain on the side.
Chicken rice. That chili sauce is amazing.
Raffles Hotel. "Seen it, done it."
The Merlion.
How 'bout some Instagram action? Facebook values this at $1 billion. How did their IPO go ...?
The Marina Bay Sands.
Nasi Lemak on Arab St. Delish. And for only $1.20 US!
Arab St. Café
View from the top of the Marina Bay Sands -- S$20 / US$16. But couldn't access the cool roof infinity pool.
But then it was time to head back to the airport, again on the MRT.
But what's the fine?
