No trip to Singapore would be completed without visiting the magnificent Gardens by the Bay. I've never had time to do this before, despite being so close (I visited Marina Bay Sands before), so this time I made an extra effort to go there. Gardens by the Bay is a huge park, consisting of three… Continue reading Singapore: Gardens by the Bay
The next morning, a quiet but hot Sunday, I figured that I wanted to explore a little bit of Singapore away from the beaten track. I had been to most of the popular tourist areas before, so I asked my colleagues whether there was a quirky, different place that's not too difficult to reach. They… Continue reading Singapore: Haw Par Villa
Again, again and again - this is my favourite museum to visit in Singapore. Not just because my cat is called Sam (that is just coincidence), but because I love the clever and creative exhibitions. I have been before (during the Biennale) and I'm sure I'll be visiting again. The exhibitions are so much fun… Continue reading Singapore: Art Museum
After strolling through Tiong Bahru and enjoying a nice meal and a good coffee, I bid good-bye to my friend and walked around China town and Duxton road, exploring my surroundings. It was a nice walk, the sun had came through and it was a blue-sky afternoon. I just walked around, looking at all the… Continue reading Singapore: House Fronts
After strolling through Tiong Bahru and looking at the architecture, my former colleague took me to the new market, which was reopened in 2006. The old market, which was opened in 1955, was the first modern market to be built in a housing area. Prior to the building of the Market the hawkers were all… Continue reading Singapore: Tiong Bahru Market
Looking through my pictures on Lightroom I noticed that I still had a series of pictures from a quick visit to Singapore in April 2014, which I've never shared on my blog. That's actually a shame, because the places I've went to were very interesting. The first one was an area called Tiong Bahru. I… Continue reading Singapore: Tiong Bahru
Ok, let’s start with a little ad hoc series about travel tips. They are all from my point of view, from an art & food loving person who travels with her husband, friends and sometimes even with her parents – but without kids. Wherever I go, I try and see as much of the local… Continue reading 48 hours with me in Singapore
Ok, so this headline makes the post sound like a very old one... well it's not actually that old. It's just comparing pictures from a visit to Singapore back in 1994 to now, in 2014. So just 20 years in between! We have not changed much have we? It's just the Merlion that has changed… Continue reading Singapore: Merlion then and now
I just love walking along the streets and exploring different areas of a city. So I went back to the Kampong Glam heritage district (I had been already in August, here's my previous blog post) and just walked along the streets to look at all those little shops and restaurants. It's a fantastic little area,… Continue reading Singapore: Murals and coffee with the CurlyTraveller
The next day I visited Fort Canning Park again. I had been there before, on a team building exercise, but without any time to explore the lush greenery and expansive lawns in the heart of the city. The Fort is located on top of a small hill (but still tiring to climb on a hot… Continue reading Singapore: Fort Canning Park
