Hangover Layover: Singapore

When booking flights through Asia, you’re bound to have to stop through Singapore or Kuala Lumpur at least once. It’s a middling place to puddle jump designations. My original flight wanted me to leave Taiwan at 1130pm and arrive 530am and leave 930am. I thought this sounded like death and wasting two days of my life sitting around so I took the extra layover time to explore.

Singapore is renown for its gigantic airport and crazy indoor entertainment between layovers. What kind of entertainment you ask? Well I’d be happy to share my experience because if it wasn’t so lame, it might not have been so cool.

So long Taiwan. I feel I kinda miss you already.

Hello 16 hours in Singapore. Let’s see what money can buy 🪄🤑

Literal circuit boards. V cute.

🌅

Well, my headphones made it this flight. Although, I have a bone to pick. Asian airlines somehow think headphones affect the landing and takeoff procedure? They are always bothering me about it and it frustrates me in the most obnoxious part of flying to go silent and stuck with everyone. 😑

They always tell me to just take my yoga mat on the plane so this is my look all the time now. 🧘‍♂️

What am I doing?

The things people will take photos in front of..

Notice K-Pop! Get it? K- 🍿?!? Amazing.

This guy right before I pulled over my eye mask took a photo of a photo of the famous jewel waterfall. I don’t understand.

Oh? You said fire alarm test? By all means. What time is it? 2:30? No problem.

One wasn’t good enough? Oh, how about we do it again. Wait til I’m comfortable first. 30 minutes after the first one stops. Perfect. Nice. I didn’t want to sleep on the floor anymore anyway.

You heathen.

Honestly, the fast food was terrible. I think I’ll abstain again for a few years.. That made me feel horrible 🥴.

Taiwan looks nice, should I visit?! 🤓

Decided, well I wasn’t sleeping much anyway. Might as well take the first train into town. 530am.

Holy shit, WORTH IT!

That obnoxious alarm made me arrive super early for this activity and I couldn’t have been more stoked. It was absolutely gorgeous: the scenery, the lighting, the colors 😘muah

Thanks alarm 😆

It had rained not too long ago and the building was dripping water from the very top. It was startling when it landed nearby. It was so freaky standing under the thing and looking up. I haven’t been that weirded out by heights in years…and I was on the ground…

So tired, I thought this said “Himalayan Slut.” I even looked twice. 😳😳

“Tampon East”

Woah.

After

Just when I thought there wasn’t anything else in this airport worth seeing, I forgot and stumbled upon the butterfly farm. How perfect 🥰🥰🥰

So tired, but today actually ended up pretty nice despite everything. My next should hit all the right spots. Can’t wait to share 🙏🏼
