Today was not only my last day in Singapore, but the last day of my travels in South East Asia! How quickly time had passed!
This morning, I went to see the National Museum of Singapore. It was fascinating to read about how Singapore has come to its place in the world today. There was an exhibition that charted Singapore through the 50s until the present day, and it explained the changes and development that the country saw. I also learnt about the different heritage backgrounds that make up today's Singaporeans.
After the museum, I met Urvi for lunch. We walked around the Arab district, admiring the mosques and lovely aromas from cafés. We settled at an Egyptian place and enjoyed falafel and Arabic salad. Sophie met us also, it was good to spend some time with them both before I set off.
Later in the afternoon, I walked around the central business district, looking up at the tall buildings in awe. Nearby was the Marina Bay, which was beautiful. I also walked around the Bugis shopping area, enjoying the refreshing rain. There were shops selling absolutely everything here! I was all shopped out though.
I made my way to the airport and reminisced about the last few weeks before boarding my flight home.
