Stopover in Singapore
August 16th, 2007 by Greg
I arrived in Singapore fairly late in the evening, and made my way to the other terminal to wait for Juliana. She came in on one of the last flights of the night and looked like she was tired but excited to have finally arrived. We grabbed a taxi and headed into town to the hostel I had booked for us.
The next day the first thing I wanted to take care of was finding a new camera. We went to a tech mall near the hostel and started browsing around. Eventually I found a decent enough camera for about as cheap as any of them would come, and it even took the same memory cards I already had, which few did. So long as it took decent photos and lasted until the end of the trip, I’d be happy. I also grabbed some cheap new headphones, as the ones on my Ipod were becoming barely audible.
After shopping we walked around the city some more, and grabbed some food. We made a stop into the Singapore Art Museum, browsing the exhibition of modern Asian art. The museum didn’t particularly move me in the way of say the ones in Shanghai or Hong Kong, but there were a few nice pieces.
Following the museum we made our way back to the hostel to just hang out and plan the rest of the trip, especially how to make our way into Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur the next day.
