I have been quite lucky to start the year off with 4-weeks of travel through Australia and Singapore. Given what happened right after, this is probably the last time I will be getting on a plane to go vacation for a while.

It’s been about 5.5 years since I was last in Singapore. That time I got stuck on the Malaysian border, it was Eid and everyone was trying to get through. This time I flew direct from the Gold Coast (OOL). The first thing I saw on arrival at Changi T1 was The Jewel. Typically it costs money to go inside but due to the drop in tourism it was free. My week in the Lion City was spent catching up with friends and exploring all the “new” attractions built for Singapore’s 50 year anniversary (2015).

I could probably talk your ear off about the amazing food in Kampong Glam, Little India, and Chinatown; the shopping in Orchard; or about the history and culture of the city, but i’ll let you see it through my 50mm lens instead. Below is a city guide I created based on some of the places and things I saw, ate, stayed at, etc.
