We had actually planned to stay in Singapore for a few days, but after a quick search for accommodation we quickly scrapped the plan. At least €60/night for a room in a dormitory, we take an early morning flight from Kuching to Singapore (so we save one night) and only stay two nights in the city before we go back fly to Munich.
Our hostel is still super nice. We have a double bed in a newly furnished dormitory with around 10 beds, so no privacy but everyone sticks to the night’s peace in the room. This makes it even quieter than the hostel in Kuching, where the walls were so noisy that we were woken up by night owls all night long.
Our sightseeing program is also rather relaxed due to Tobi’s injury, but we still see a lot thanks to the great public transport with buses and subways. We spend the first afternoon at the famous Marina Bay with the striking three-tower luxury hotel – of course we also go to the viewing platform there 
. We stroll a little along the promenade, through the swanky shopping center and the beautifully landscaped park “Gardens of the Bay” with some architectural highlights. In particular, “artificial trees” were created here, which are covered with plants from bottom to top and are powered by the solar panels on the roof. The entire park forms its own cycle for energy production, water treatment and irrigation without CO2 emissions.
A great feature of Singapore is the influence of the various Asian cultures on the metropolis, and so we stroll from Little India to Arab Street and then back via China Town to the western-style Clarke Quay. We eat Indian and Arabic and on the last evening we meet with Max’s cousin, who has been living in Singapore as an expat for a few years and tells us a little about the city and the lifestyle! We also watch the water and laser show in front of the marina, but due to a construction site, the places for visitors are directly on the water and the visibility is somewhat limited, but it’s still a huge effort that takes place here every day from 8 p.m.
And that’s it for the culinary delicacies of Southeast Asia and the always incredible rainforests and we fly back to Munich! By the way, Tobi ends up on the operating table immediately three days after landing
