Singapore: Not a "Sin City"

On Tuesday we woke up really early to reach Incheon Airport At 7:00 AM. We checked-in for the flight to Singapore and… I forgot to take my Korean language materials from Paris Baguette cafeteria. I have realized it just 10 minutes before boarding so I hope that I will find my stuff in Lost&Found next week. Oh and if anybody lost a Chrysler Crossfire on the fourth floor of Seoul Airport please give me a call. I think I ight know where it is.

When you look at the Incheon Terminal you can say only one sentence: Mają rozmach s…wysyny! It is so big and comfortable place and probably ten times bigger than Okęcie Airport.

After 6:40 hours of flight we have finally reached Chiangi Airport in Singapore. I even saw the new Airbus A380 next to the terminal. One of the first 2 delivered to any airline in the world. It is huge and “Jumbojet” Boeing 747 standing next to it looks so small and silly.

Monica reminded me not to bring drugs to Singapore because there is a death penalty for trafficking. Singapore has the biggest execution/population ratio in the world. We expected very hot weather as the city is only 180 kilometers north of equator. Hopefully the difference between Korea was not so big. 25 degrees Celsius is good for sightseeing and partying.

We have met Monica, Asia, Mikołaj and other exchange students in their spacious apartment at Leonie Hill Road 14. After a little while we started exploring the beautiful and very clean city.

The first impression is very different from Seoul. The architecture is enormous and everything is built in the strict order. Dozens of skyscrapers and some colonial looking buildings between them. All of them so new because local authority used to demolish buildings which are older than 20 years. That’s weird.

In the beginning we visited Clark Quay which is the first street with air-condition I have seen in my life. It is covered with some structure from above and you can feel pleasant wind all the way to riverside. Singapore downtown looks great in the evening. Thousands of lights and not very crowded streets. We had some dinner with local specialties but to be frank I prefer Korean food much more.

At the end we visited the famous "Merilion" which is a must for all the tourist. Of course everybody need to have at least one photo with the Lion. The girls look the best:)
