Singapore to Thailand
We safely arrived yesterday to Singapore where we spent the night. This evening we’ll be heading to Thailand where we’ll have the first event of the trip. After that, it’s back to Singapore for the second event.
Singapore welcomes you with a beautiful drive into the city. Exotic trees and colorful flowers line the sides and median of the roads into town. There are also numerous parks along the way where people are walking and enjoying the year-round warm weather. (Even the airport has nice plants next to the security scanners.)
Along with the cleanliness of the streets (no chewing gum, strict littering rules, and no smoking in most public places) they seem to have plants everywhere. Even though you’re walking down the street with hundreds of other people it’s a warm experience with all of the greenery around. From the hotel room you can see many buildings with plants and gardens on the roof tops. I guess the rainy seasons and humidity make that all possible.
