Spur of the Moment: Enjoying Boat Quay and Chinatown
Posted by Stuart at 10:50 PM on September 18, 2004It has been a beautiful day in Singapore. How do I know this? Because I am there!
On a spur of the moment, Piyawat and I decided to use airline milage for a free flight to Singapore to take advantage of a three-day weekend. We had originally planned to do this trip back in January, but just now found the time to do it.
We arrived earlier this evening and had a chance to walk around town a bit. We walked from our hotel on Bencoolen Street (near the foot of Orchard Road) to Boat Quay on the River and then through ChinaTown, stopping at Temple Street for some delicious Chinese street food and a Tiger Beer.
Our plan for tomorrow is to shop on Orchard Road. I haven't bought many clothes lately, so maybe tomorrow will be a good chance to update my wardrobe!
Koolness on the spontaneous trip! Shopping is always fun, don't forget "staple" outfits ;-)
Have a great time!!
