Singapore, Singapore, Singapore...How I will miss your efficient and cheap railway system, the hot and humid air, the chinatown, little india, the mosques, the temples, the beautiful people, and all of the wonderful people that I've connected with in just a few short days.
It's unfortunate to find on my last day there an area called Bugis. It's predominately muslim, with arab culture overwhelmingly present and show cased along the small and narrow streets. A fantastic place to simply sit, relax and smoke hookah. Spending an entire afternoon eating stingray at the Golden Mile Food center and to top it off with smoking hookah. I don't need big amusement parks, casinos, shows, or clubs to enjoy myself. All I need is food, drinks, and hookah. What a lovely way to spend the afternoon.
I ended the evening having dinner at Haila. A beautiful restaurant tucked away in the botanical gardens. Food was outstanding. Service was the best I've ever experienced. Last but not least, sharing the evening with a new found friend in this part of the world was lovely. Sharing stories, and experience as if we were friends for many years is something of a rarity.
The friends I've made, sights I've seen, food I've tasted will forever be ingrained my memory of Singapore. As much as I would love to extend my trip, a new adventure awaits, and Jakarta calls. I'll see you later Singapore.
