Singapore Day 2 (2017-06-20)

Costing
You absolutely need a power bank to survive here. This is by far the primary reason to stop.
Reload water whenever you can. Feet hurt after God knows how Long I walked today.
While the directions to the MRTs are good, the directions to the buses probably need another app.
Bring toiletries from home here, then check them in. You spent an absurd amount of money on toiletries.
The tourist SIM card - $30 SGD for 10 days. No signal in Chinatown MRT, so there.
Clothes are like really expensive?
The conversion rate: eye covers for Miniso are like twice as expensive.
Probably shit more times than you really needed.
Don’t go to places that you would probably see in the Philippines already. Chinatown, Little India.
Okay Marina Sands area is nice.
Coffees are expensive AF, Free the Robot: 7.50, Coffee Bean: 7.90 for medium.
Last bus: 11:30 pm.

I saw a freaking squirrel in a normal park.
Don’t need to go outside every day. There is a big chance that you go back here at some point anyway.
It’s like super hot outside, good thing you didn’t go to the zoo. But the zoo is good.
Botanical garden–takes a long time to explore. Just visited the north third of the park. Nice to walk around in.
Bugis is like super big.
The walk to the Flower Dome is probably around 20 minutes. Not sure if the cost was worth it ($16), though the agave (plant with big leaves), the baobab, and 10 different cacti were worth it.
Good Nasi Lemak and Laksa: 363 Katong Laksa.
Good curry: Scissors Curry Rice in Bugis.
Took 4 shits today, lol.
Marina Sands is awesome.
Legoland Malaysia: The rides are for kids only. So yeah.
The concern for PWD in this city is just awesome. All pedestrian crossings have ramps.
It’s actually viable to move around using a scooter because of the smooth roads.

Sentosa: Just not that good if you go there at 5pm.
Education costs in SG are really expensive.
3 types of pass for folks here.
Biking: The o-bikes work, but you’ll probably just average 10kph with them. Also, it’s weird, do you go on the sidewalk or on the road?
It’s so weird that a lot of old people here are still working.
Also weird, the timezone apparently? It’s south of Thailand but the time is the same as in Manila.

Walked around the one-north and Biopolis area. Not really exaggerating but there is a park every few kilometers here. I am still blown away by the greenery since I love nature.
Granted, long categorized climbs for bikes.
Salted egg chicken is yummy but really not that healthy.
Apparently Google has offices in Singapore? I wasn’t able to go there, so.
