Singapore recon mission
Landing in Singapore is always a great experience. The airport has won countless awards for being the best airport in the world. It is still Johan's favourite by far! We used Singapore as a stepping stone for our cheap flight on AirAsia to Bangkok the day after the next day.
The city was covered in beautiful Christmas decorations - especially the famous Orchard Road where most of the upmarket shopping happens. We stayed in a great 4 star hotel at half price as we flew with the national carrier, SIngapore Airlines, and qualified for certain discounts on their Stopover packages.
We stop again in Singapore on our way back to South Africa, so this stopover was just a recon mission. We looked at all the gadgets and electronics that can be bought for future reference!
Breakfast was at the chinese market where you can buy anything from live eels to live frogs, live tortoises to pig organs. Fortunately we were not too hungry and just had some fresh watermelon juice...
It rained most of the day and we therefore stayed indoors - browsing the shops and planning for our next visit...
