I’m at the airport (I seem to be blogging here quite often from the airport nowadays). I’ve always told people living in a certain place is much different from visiting, and although I’ve visited Singapore on several occasions, but the past few months have still been full of new experiences.

The Good:

• Food. So much good food!! My particular favorites are the Hainan chicken and duck rice. So goooooodd. Another favourite of mine is the Kaya toast with the runny eggs on the side (with lots of soy sauce and pepper). Topped up with a cup of Kopi (traditional styled coffee), a great start to the day. I only had chili crab the weeks before my departure from Singapore and although I hate de-shelling with a passion, the Chili crabs are worth getting my hands dirty for. I had the chili crab at both Seafood Paradise and Long Beach (by the way Long Beach de-shells for you if you ask) … so yeah!
• Between the great people at work, the friendly bloggers based in Singapore and the amazing (and random) people Ive met on planes, the people I’ve seen and met  while in Singapore has made the experience here that much more amazing.
• Hot hot hot weather, all day, every day. Kind of nice.
• Lo Hei, was a strange and funny new experience for me.

The Bad:

• Things here are relatively more expensive than in Hong Kong. For example I went to UNIQULO the other day and the same pair of jeans were 20% more expensive than they were in Hong Kong (this might have something to do with the Singaporean dollar shooting up like crazy against the Hong Kong dollar, but lets not forget the 7% sales tax in Singapore as well).
• While some foods are tastier, I felt the variety was not as good as in Hong Kong, plus I’m not very good with spicy food :T
• Hot hot hot weather, all day, every day. Kind of  bad if you have to walk around outside for prolonged periods.

The Ugly:

• Starhub sucks

I wish I had time to write a more detailed post, but alas, I’m off to Hong Kong in 10 minutes and New York tomorrow, making a stop in Toronto, then heading back to Hong Kong again. So … lots of airport time, meaning more blog posts?
