UPDATE: I added the YouTube version of the video. It should be in a higher resolution.
Below are the pictures I snapped when I went to Chinatown. I also have included a video clip of some TV show or film that was being shot later in the week [Scroll to the bottom]. It was of a purse snatching scene...they did a couple takes when I was there. I'm not sure if they had other scenes planned but I headed out after watching them a couple of times.
Sorry for the low quality on the video, Blogger limits the resolution I guess. I'll have to upload to YouTube and link later.
I had heard Singapore was hot and humid year-round and they were right. I got on a plane where I needed a jacket and got off where I should have been in shorts and a T-shirt. The tropical weather was nice in February though...
My accommodations in Singapore were at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore. I've posted a hotel room walkthrough down below:
I got to the hotel room that night and tried to sleep. I had said I would be going out to work around 10am that same day...so...I got about 4-5 hours of sleep due to me arriving around 4am to the hotel. When the sun rose and I had some free time later that same day, I snapped some pictures of the gorgeous view from my room:
The next couple of days blended together due to my jet lag. To stay awake, I went with my colleague to the Chinatown area to do some shopping and to keep our bodies moving. We took the public subway system, dubbed the MRT. I liken it to the subway system in Seoul, Korea...very clean, efficient, and timely :)
I just returned from Singapore! It took forever to get there but was well worth it in the end. Total time I was in transit was over 24 hours but...such is life. Here are some pictures to kick off this series of posts:

Two planes and many hours later I arrived in Singapore. The overall flight experience was pretty uneventful except for a delay on the connecting flight due to something with the fuel gauges. I was willing to wait to make sure the fuel system was working properly. This put us arriving even earlier (later?) in the morning...close to 3am :(
Next will be a post with my hotel room and initial impressions!
