Greetings from Singapore. They call this place “instant” Asia because it’s diverse and multicultural. But nothing could have prepared us for what we found.
Before I get to that, here’s this week’s question: What’s the safest you’ve ever felt in your travels? It can be a safe destination, like Singapore or Doha, or a safe mode of transportation, like flying on EasyJet.
Here’s the view from the pool deck of the Marina Bay Sands. Monsoon season just ended, but it’s still a little rainy here.
The hotel is an instant landmark in Singapore. You recognize this building, don’t you?
Singapore is incredibly safe and clean. We’ll have some initial impressions in this podcast (we’ve only been here two days, but we’ll have a full review next week).
This was the view from our room. Pretty spectacular!
We’ll also share our thoughts on the end of our Malaysia tour, including our visit to the Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas on the eastern coast of the Malaysian state of Johor. Here’s Aren learning how to prepare Thai food in the kitchen. The hotel chain’s Spice Spoons program gives you an opportunity to learn to cook with the locals. I just posted a story about the Anantara in Forbes this morning.
Have you ever been to Malaysia or Singapore? We’d love to get your thoughts in the comments. Also, don’t forget this week’s question: What’s the safest you’ve ever felt in your travels?
Be sure to tune in to next week’s podcast — I have a big surprise for you!
