I hope that in the future, you can find posts about Singapore on this page. For now, perhaps read about other countries in Asia, such as Malaysia, China, or Taiwan?

Things I’d Like to Do in Singapore

• Hitchhike with locals! Even though it’s a city-state and therefore very urbanized, I think there are still parts to hitchhike
• Explore the historic Downtown Core. The history, the food, and modern life
• Hike up Bukit Timah Hill (163masl). This country’s high point should be quite easy to reach
• Take a tour to Pedra Branca and its Horsburgh Lighthouse, if such a thing exists
• Visit some main tourist attractions, such as the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Haw Par Villa, the Fountain of Wealth, the Jewel Rain Vortex at the airport, the National Orchid Garden, Bugis Street Market, the Henderson Waves bridge, Lau Pa Sat hawker center, the Singapore Maritime Gallery, a WWII tour of the Changi area, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, the House of Tan Teng Niah, the Sultan Mosque, Jurong Hill viewing tower, the Singapore National Museum and the Singapore Stone, and the mall-cum-temple Fu Lu Shou Complex
• Enjoy nature at one of the three nature reserves. I’m mostly eyeing Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and Little Guilin. There are also a few places to do a treetop walk, which sounds interesting
• Go to some curious places, such as the Kebun Baru Birdsinging Club, the Marsiling Tunnels, the abandoned mini golf course on Sentosa Island, the Sembawang Hot Springs, and the Keppel Hill Reservoir
• Eat at a few hawker centers around Singapore. I’ll be looking for vegetarian meals, but Jonas can try the (former) Michelin-starred chicken rice. For vegetarian food, I’ll mostly be looking toward Indian veg places in Little India, such as Krishna’s Kitchen (where one can allegedly help in the kitchen). Traveling off to one of Singapore’s oldest Indian restaurants, called Samy’s Curry Restaurant, also seems like a worthy detour. And lastly, I’d like to drink a Singapore Sling cocktail somewhere affordable
• Do a day trip from Marina South Pier to Raffles Lighthouse (or another island group if these tours aren’t running, e.g., Kusu Island with its tortoise sanctuary)
• Visit the last unurbanized village in Singapore called Kampong Lorong Buangkok
• See Singapore’s blinking snails after it rains. I don’t know how to go about this one
• Drink Singaporean craft beer. These are the breweries I’ve so far defined: Lion, Upward, Little Island, The Good Beer, Alive, Hospoda, Sunbird, Brewerkz, Pink Blossoms, and of course, Tiger. Singapore also has a lot of beer stores where you can bring beers home from multiple local breweries
• Visit Sentosa Island, with its cable car and its kinda fake ‘southermost point of continental Asia’. The real southernmost point is nearby in Tanjung Piai, Johor, Malaysia
• If the hike to the highest point isn’t strenuous enough, I’d also like to hike the 36-kilometer-long coast-to-coast trail in Singapore. It even passes by some brutalist buildings, so that’s perfect for me!
• Go kayaking. I think there are many places in this small country where one can go kayaking in the mangroves or to small islands. For example at Pulau Ubin
• Enjoy the sounds of Singlish!
• Look from the Woodlands Jetty across to Johor Bahru; I’d love to see it from the other side
• Cross the land border with Malaysia and/or take a ferry to the Riau Islands of Indonesia
