My Unplanned Weekend in the Hidden Streets of Singapore!

Singapore is a city of lights, tall buildings, and disciplined behavior that really astounded me. Excited to see this lovely location, my partner and his friend wanted to step outside and check the weather; I tagged along. We had no idea, though, that we would soon be lost in the large city and aimlessly drifting around the streets.

Our journey began on Lor 18 Geylang, a vibrant street famed for its food vendors and local appeal. We found ourselves two blocks away in Lor 16 Geylang as we strolled. Just savoring the sights and sounds of the city, we let our feet lead us anywhere they wished.

The city itself was quite clean no trash on the streets, no bad smells, and very little pollution overall. The streets appeared immaculate and the air felt fresh. It inspired me to stay longer and see more of this orderly and under control city.

The bus stops in Singapore were orderly, methodically navigable. It was much different from the disorderly and congested Philippine streets.

As I strolled across the crowded streets, I couldn't help but contrast Singapore with Makati, one of the Philippines' economic centers. Like Makati, Singapore featured lofty buildings and harried professionals headed toward their destinations. Still, Singapore was notable for the smooth running of everything.

People genuinely made use of the assigned garbage cans that were scattered all about. The manner the city was kept made it plain that the government had firmly taught its people discipline.

Hunger pounced in as we travelled. Part of my endeavor to cut back on sweets, I chose to grab a bottle of chrysanthemum tea with less sugar.

I discovered something fascinating while looking around the food booths: chicken feet were really popular here. Although they came in several tastes, the most often consumed one was the spicy chicken feet, which combined sour and hot qualities. Though unusual from what I was accustomed to, it was shockingly good. Every mouthful of the perfectly balanced spices made life fun.

Apart from chicken feet, we came upon additional street food choices. Each item, from laksa to Hainanese chicken rice to satay skewers, had a distinct and deep taste. Every meal felt like a fresh adventure; the range of tastes was too great. Combining Chinese, Malay, and Indian cuisines deftly, Singapore's food scene is really a melting pot of several influences.

We kept exploring once our appetite had siedered. Our accidental trip was made more exciting by the vivid city lights, well-kept parks, and view of Marina Bay Sands from a distance. To be in a city this advanced and futuristic was strange. We loved every moment of our impromptu journey even if we occasionally lost direction.

We booked a room at Ibis Budget Hotel, which offers affordable accommodation.

Four days and five nights for about $300, we had reserved a reasonably priced hotel for our stay. Given how costly Singapore can be, it was rather reasonable.

Furthermore intriguing to me was Singapore's perceived level of security. Here, I felt comfortable unlike other large cities where you always have to be alert for pickpockets or dangerous regions. People were courteous, and everywhere we went we felt generally safe. It made even nighttime wandering around a nice experience.

Naturally, without making memories, no journey is complete. I couldn't resist snapping images of every street we drove by. Unquestionably lovely, Singapore seemed like the ideal location for a picture from every angle. It was a destination worth visiting once again because of the well-planned streets, contemporary infrastructure, and active food scene.

This little vacation let me value Singapore's cleanliness, elegance, and efficiency. Seeing how a disciplined city runs opened eyes to how Coming back and discovering even more of what this fantastic location has to offer excites me!
