Singapore & Thailand!

Touched down in four countries in five days. And it was amazing!

February 20th: Taiwan -> Singapore

We arrived mid afternoon to a hot and humid Singapore. The air was crystal clear and we had a lot to see in not a lot of time. We ran to make an evening show of the Gardens by the Bay SuperTree Show. This is an area owned by the Marina Bay Sands hotel. The gardens are 50% botanical garden and 50% SuperTree - aka massive fake trees that have lights and walkways and restaurants - pretty sick right? We took one metro stop down to the Promenade where the Singapore Flyer is located. This is Singapore's version of the London Eye. It had amazing views and I would definitely recommend catching the latest ride at 10:15 with online tickets. We ended the night looping back to the original metro station passing the lantern festival going on the famous double helix bridge which, you guessed it, is inspired by DNA.





February 21st: Singapore -> Thailand

Our one year anniversary! Spent getting the most out of our last hours in Singapore and eating Pad Thai in our Phuket beachside resort. Tis the life of a college student, right? Just kidding. We literally ran around Singapore to see Little India, the Merlion Statue, Raffles Hotel, and the lookout deck of the Marina Bay Sands. All are shown below :) Getting to our Thailand hotel was a struggle but it did not disappoint!







February 22nd: Phuket (Patong Beach)

Beach day! I kept my word and we spent an entire day being beach bums and getting burnt to a crisp (literally). All we did was beach, pool, ping pong, pina colada, and kayak. To grab some food we went to a local night market but it was an overall relaxing day.




February 23rd/24th: Phuket -> Shanghai

A couple hours in the pool and then off to the airport! We had a super long layover so the rest of the day was spent in the Bangkok/Kuala Lumpur airports. We arrived in Shanghai early the 24th!


It was an absolutely incredible trip and I adored every minute. From Taiwan, Singapore, to Thailand - we saw so much and experienced so many different things. Thanks to everyone for reading and a thank you to my parents for allowing me to travel! And exciting news: Mamma and Papa Warne will be in Shanghai this week!!! Can't wait to share with them why I love Shanghai so much! More to come, but as always...

love,
