Let's just say I couldn't get past the stifling constantly wet heat. It was shocking! The "feels like" humidity factor had the temps at 47+ degrees some days. While I can do that type of temperature in Vegas with the dry heat, I just couldn't cope with Singapore. It was just too WET. Having said all that, it's a beautiful city. Beautifully kept, beautifully laid out and despite all the cement it is still surprisingly green. <br />#TeamLovinLifeLeanne @ Deep Fried Fruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886017636780724635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-58206091535493986122016-12-02T08:09:53.674+08:002016-12-02T08:09:53.674+08:00I've only been to Singapore once - in 1997 - f...I've only been to Singapore once - in 1997 - for a few days when I was living in Cambodia. It seemed so starkly different to where I was from (at the time). So glitzy! I recall Sentosa Island, Raffles and a day trip to Malaysia... There wasn't much shopping though as I was a poor volunteer in Cambodia back then! The trip was enough of a treat.

I got a local perspective and while I did explore Orchard Road, Raffles and Clarke Quay ... I also saw Little India, Arab Street, Chinatown and other areas that I can't remember the names of. I never did get to Sentosa Island but I would like to if I ever go again. Looks like you had a fabulous time with your Mum.

I've never been to the Botanic Gardens, Leanne but everyone says they are gorgeous. I remember the last time we went we were on a cruise and it was so hot and humid - Mike got off the ship and walked straight back on! I also remember the first time there and we visited Raffles and I nearly fell off my chair when I realised how much as Singapore Sling was.
