Singapore Beyond the Bay
In the early days of HoneyTrek, we slept on a bench in the Singapore Changi airport, and while some globetrotters might count that as a country visited, we knew Singapore deserved more than that. Only a nation since 1965, Singapore has certainly come into its own as a world-class destination for finance, technology, and hospitality. But to be honest, we were worried this glittering republic, known for its skyscrapers, luxury shopping, and mega hotels like Marina Bay Sands, would be a little too perfect for our liking. After taking the prerequisite visit to the beautiful Gardens by the Bay and historic Lau Pat Sat market, we sought out the more local side of Singapore. We ate at hawker stalls at the Old Airport Road Food Centre, watched a Hindu ceremony preparations at Sri Mariamman Temple, explored the endentured-coolie houses-turned-shops of Chinatown, and partook in Ramadan festivities in the Muslim Quarter of Kampong Glam. We realized the beauty of this city is in its international enclaves and how harmoniously people can live in one of the world’s smallest countries.
