Fuzzy Bus

I came to Singapore on a mission, to check out a Singapore private bank, but I ended up finding the love of my life,; Singapore itself. I spent Wednesday at the bank setting up all the logistics for creating an account. Afterwards, I had more time on my hands than I expected, so I did a little walking around.

My new private bank wasn’t far from the riverbank, so I headed there. Apparently there is a Legend about a Sumatran prince named Sang Nila Utama. He landed along the river and saw an animal that looked like a lion. So he named the island Singa Pura or Lion City. But, from what I could tell, Singapore never had lions hanging about. Anyway, I still had more time, and I decided to check out the Superior Court building, the Parliament building and the Asian Civilization Museum.

What I noticed the most was just how clean this city is; it’s very clean. I never thought about a city being clean before, never thought it could be a possibility, but Singapore is really, really clean. I had a hard time choosing a place to eat, apparently eating is the number one past time of Singapore. I finally chose a Malaysian restaurant and had one of the best salads I have ever eaten. I wanted to order desert, but the salad was very fulfilling.

I took the MRT (subway) back to my hotel, but before I got there, there was a stop called ‘Little India’ on the way, so I got off there and took a look around. The smells of spices and incense filled the air. Very pungent at some parts, but delightful in other parts. I caught the subway back to my hotel, and again, I noticed just how clean it was. The cleanest public transportation I ever experienced.

On my next trip back to Singapore, I plan to invest in a condominium. I think I’ll check out the one’s around my hotel, they seem to be doing quiet well.
