From Penang we gave up ferries to fly Air Asia to Singapore. When we arrived in Singapore the airport was nearly empty and we had our temperature taken by a remote sensor as we walked down the hallway. I am thinking it’s probably the safest place we can be from Coronavirus.
Traveling with in southeast Asia is super cheap. Our flight was $17, we upgraded to include checked bags, a meal (actually a really good meal), and better seats for a total of $34 per ticket.
The cost changed when we got to Singapore, it’s a beautiful luxurious city and the prices reflect that. The highway in from the airport to the city is canopied with dark trunked trees contrasted by the vibrant green leaves overhead.
The waterfront has the same appearance with walking and biking trails canopied by trees.
Singapore has a much greater influence from China with most of it’s population Chinese. Although in the area we stayed in German beer bars were very popular. Not sure what was going with that.
Singapore is a very modern, wealthy city. This was noticed in that they carry water bottles, walk the beach front with their dog(s) and ride bicycles or jog for pleasure or fitness.










Very interesting! You are a good blogger. Thanks for taking me on the trip with you!

When I was there, probably twenty five years ago, there was no gum chewing allowed for fear someone would spit it out on the street. I wonder if that is still the case? Absolutely a clean, almost pristine city!
