In honor of my one year anniversary of traveling Singapore. Here is a little blog I wrote but never published about my time on a small, remove island.
You know you're lucky when you have a best friend who will spend half of a vacation day wandering around a library with you in Singapore.
In one world, Alice ponders a giant mushroom inside an arid wonderland. In another, ancient plants weave up a mountain. Welcome to Singapore's unique biodomes.
Tiger balm. Chinese folklore. Decaying statues. What's not to love about Haw Par Villa in Singapore? (Maybe the ghosts?)
In a tropical place like Singapore, everyone expects an abundance of green leafy gardens. What's not expected? People who don't shove you out of the way on a busy sidewalk and a spectacular light show of metal trees.
A few months ago I wrote a post on the 10 coolest libraries in the world. It was hard to limit it to just 10. So I decided to update the list!
The days of stuffy, dark, dust filled libraries, that feel like you've stepped into an 18th century novel about etiquette run by uptight librarians hissing "shhhhh" at the slightest noise are over. Check out some of the coolest libraries on the planet. I want to fly to these places now just so I can hang out here all day.
