where the merlion sits
sad to be in a place where the merlion sits but could not see it coz i'm bad at directions. my brain couldn't deal with it and i wouldn't want to explore the place alone for fear of not finding my way back to the hotel. silly me.
singapore is a great place. changi is such a fantastic airport. good thing i have an officemate with me when i arrived. someone who has been here many times. but we came here for different agenda's. she's going back ahead...and we are checked in different hotels.
the hotel reservation was a challenge to the organizer as our workshop is in the same time as the airshow (whatever that is) however, royal plaza on scotts is cool still. open bar, daily breakfast, wifi, king sized bed, 32" lcd tv, big scented candles in the lobby which scent is very prominent and can still be smelled in the hallway going to your room.
i admire how they came up with such an organized, clean and decent place. taxi drivers are suplado and most of them have a hard time speaking and understanding english. lots of expats and cool bars in clark quay. btw, i left my mobile in a cab...and couldn't believe that it was returned to me. crime rate is at a min...grabe kse penalty hinahataw daw talaga.
so much to say......so little time....sighhhh....
hope i could share pictures one of these days.
