We only had a one night layover in Singapore before heading to India, but what we realized is that we could have easily spent many more nights here. The feel of the city is that of a cosmopolitan lifestyle, but also accessible to those on a budget. We made our way to the hostel and checked in to our bare bones room without any trouble. So, we headed out to explore the city. Incidentally, the hostel happened to be in the Little India area. First, we made it to a sidewalk cafe for an inexpensive bowl of noodle soup. Next, we found our way to a mall for a 2nd dinner of dumplings and bok choy (food was so cheap in Singapore). Finally, we took the subway to Chinatown and ended up getting even more food - this time it was dessert. Overall, the city was very clean, and easy to navigate. We would love to come back and spend more time here.
