Beer Me – Singapore Edition

Clint R — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Another country, another set of beers to explore! Singapore was a bit of a mixture on the beer front – while they do have their “standard” beers throughout the country (most often seen is Tiger), there is also a pretty lively craft brewing scene which was a pleasant surprise! Craft brewing is actually having a […]

Sometimes unexpected things can happen when you travel. For example – while wandering through Singapore one evening, we wound up witnessing a live performance of one of Singapore’s classic 1970’s hits. After being refused entry at the world’s highest altitude microbrewery (Level 33, all booked up!) we made our way down the nearby Olympic Walk […]

The world-famous Gardens by the Bay are an absolute must-do on any visit to Singapore, whether you have lots of time to explore or just a few days. The gardens were opened in 2011 as part of Singapore’s ongoing efforts to transform from a “Garden City” to a “City in a Garden.” Located in the […]

Serendipity in Singapore – New Friends & Old

Clint R — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

We’ve written a few times about rolling with, and adapting to some difficulties on the road. However, it’s important to remember that world travel often leads to unexpected positive experiences as well. For example: during our visit to Singapore we got to spend time with both one of Clint’s friends from childhood, as well as […]

Singapore’s Hawker Centres – Cultural Heritage, Outstanding Cuisine

Clint R — Sat, 12 Nov 2022 14:00:00 +0000

You may not have heard of a Hawker centre before, but essentially they are large, open-air complexes with dedicated tables and chairs, and many different stalls with vendors (or “Hawkers”) selling a wide variety of different food. For an uninitiated westerner, think of these as food courts on steroids. Hawker centres can be found throughout […]

There are Wild Otters in Singapore

And we saw them! Okay, I admit we knew about Singapore’s otters prior to visiting – the population has been documented on BBC (among others) in the past. However, we weren’t really expecting to actually see them in the flesh. But we did! One day while walking through the East Coast Park we heard a […]

The Beautiful, Diverse Architecture of Singapore

Clint R — Sun, 06 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

After 2 months of mainly exploring nature in New Zealand, we changed things up with a week-long stop in Singapore. This sovereign city-state in Southeast Asia boasts a population of 5.7 million all packed onto an island just about 280 square miles in size, making it the third-most densely populated country in the world. Needless […]
