I flew from Phnom Penh to Singapore to meet my parents. I was pretty excited after not seeing them for 10 weeks! The flight took 2 hours, and then I took a taxi to the airport, dropped off my bags in my room and then knocked on their door in anticipation. It was so great to see them! I couldn’t believe that they were actually there! We spent some time together catching up and then headed out for some food as it was around 6pm and we were starving! I think they were expecting me to take them to a nice restaurant, but we went to Maxwell Food Centre to try some street food! We tried some chicken rice which is quite popular here and it was good. From there we headed to Chinatown and got some more food, then we walked down to Marina Bay Sands. We went to the SkyPark on the 57th floor to see the view. We then headed down to catch the laser show at 9.30pm and it was spectacular. It really exceeded our expectations! Over the next 2 days, I showed then all the sights we could fit in – Gardens by the Bay, Orchard Road, Sentosa, the Night Safari, City Gallery all sandwiched with lots of eating. My parents were surprised with how big a deal food is here and just how many food courts they have here. It was great to try all the local food. On the Monday morning, we met up with my friend Nick who is from Singapore but studies in London. He was back home for the summer so he met us at our hotel and showed us around Little India and told us all about life in Singapore. It was really cool getting a local perspective on everything and understanding the why’s behind the what. On Monday night, we went to watch the laser show one final time, and then I met up with some of my old work colleagues who were in Singapore on a business trip. It was really nice to catch up with them although it was very brief as we were rushing to catch the last train back to the hotel. Its quite strange seeing reminders of my life back in London because it just seems so far away from my life out here! I think my parents were pretty surprised by how comfortable and at home I feel here. There is something about being in Asia that I really love. Here are some pictures from our time in Singapore:
