Singapore

The last time I was in Singapore was a VERY long time ago. (I can’t even remember which year! Maybe 2007?)

For that and since my information might be outdated, I decided to gather information from all the other fellow travel bloggers, and travel websites to combine this list for you, based on my own taste! So let’s call this list a #hello965approved Singapore list ?
