Marzo 31 - Abril 5 / March 31 - April 5

El 31 de Marzo tomamos un bus de Malacca a Singapore.  Llegamos a la casa de Luciano en la tarde.  Luciano es un amigo brazilero que nos va a hospedar por unos dias.  Por la noche fuimos a tomarnos unas cerveces con Luciano y sus amigos.

El 1 de Abril, Luciano nos llevo a una caminada por el centro de la ciudad, empezamos por el barrio Chino pero la lluvia hizo que tuvieramos que postponer nuestros planes, afortunadamente empezo a llover cunado estabamos cerca a un restaurante chino que vendia cerveza, entonces nos tomamos algunas mientras paro de llover.  Cuando paro la lluvia caminamos por el rio Singapore hasta Marina Bay.  Despues fuimos a un bar, Level 33, que tiene una vista hermosa de Marina Bay, pero la terraza estaba cerrada por la lluvia.  Por la noche estuvimos en una fiesta en la casa de un amigo de Luciano.

El 2 de Abril, Luciano invito a sus amigos brazileros a una feijoada en su apartamento.  Fue un curso acelerado de portugue para nosotros, podimamos entender un poco, pero no lo suficiente para comunicarnos con todos.  El almuerzo estuvo delicioso!  Pasamos la tarde en el Jardin Chino que es cerca al apartamento de Luciano.

El 3 de Abril fue otro dia de caminar por el centro de Singapore.  Estuvimos en el barrio Chino y visitamos en Templo que tiene la relica del diente de Buda.  Caminamos por Orchard Rd., la calle con los centros comerciales mas elegantes de Singapore.  Nos habian recomendado ir al piso 53 del mall Ion Orchard para ver la ciudad y se ve espectacular.

En la tarde nos encontramos con Amalia, una amiga de Luciano, que nos ofrecio llevarnos a un tour por el Barrio Indu.  Terminamos el dia con comida en la calle Arabe, comiendo cosas Turcas.

El 4 de Abril fue un dia verde… pasamos la mayor parte del dia en el Jardin Botanico.  Es un lugar hermoso para caminar y ver toda la flora de la zona.  Tambien entramos a la parte donde tiene muchas especies de orquídeas.

En la tarde entramos al Museo Nacional de Sigapore, donde parendimos de la historia de Singapore y como se independizo de Malasia en 1965.  Es un museo muy interesante y super recomendado.

Tambien estuvimos en el bar de Marina Bay, nos tomamos una cerveza y vimos el atardecer.  Por la noche vimos el show de luces de “Gradens by the Bay”.

En la mañana del 5 de Abril estuvimos en algunos centros comerciales… en una visita a Singapore no pueden faltar los centros comerciales.  No compramos nada, pero deslumbran del tamaño y el lujo.

En la tarde fuimos a Gardens by the Bay, alli hay dos domos, el de las flores y el del bosque lluvioso.  Los dos son lugares muy bonitos, pero el bosque lluvioso tiene estructuras y caminos especataculares.  En la noche fuimos a 1-Altitud, un bar abierto en el piso 57 de un edificio que tiene una vista especatacular de la ciudad.

On March 31 we took the bus from Malacca to Singapore.  We arrived at Luciano’s house in the early evening.  Luciano is a Brazilian friend that has offered to host us for a few days.  At night we went out with Luciano and his friends to have a few beers.

On April 1, Luciano took is for a walk around the city; we started in Chinatown but the rain postponed our plans for a couple of hours.  We got stranded in a Chinese restaurant… at least they sell beer so we had a few.  Once it stopped raining we kept walking around Singapore river and ended up in Marina Bay.  We went to Level 33, which has a great view of Marina Bay, but because of the rain the terrace was closed so we did not stay.  At night we went to a house party at Luciano’s friend house.

On April 2, Luciano invited his friends for a feijoada at his house.  It was a crash course of Portuguese for us, we could understand a little bit but not much.  Lunch was amazing!  We spent the afternoon by the Chinese Gardens, a park near by.

April 3 was another day of walking around Singarope’s downtown.  We went to Chinatown and visited the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.  We then walked along Orchard Road, a very posh street in Singapore with some of the most expensive malls in the city.  We had been told to find Ion Orchard tower and go to the 53 floor to get a nice view of the city… so we did!  It is great to see a city from above.

Later we met with Amalia, Luciano’s friend that offered to show us around, and went to the Little India neighborhood.  Our day finished in Arab Street where we had a nice Turkish meal.

April 4 was a green day… we spent most of it in the Botanical Gardens.  It is a great place to enjoy the flora of the region.  We went to the orchard which has many species of orchids. 
In the afternoon we went to the National Museum of Singapore where we learned about Singapore’s history and how in 1965 they split from Malaysia and gain independence.  This is a highly recommended museum to visit in you are in Singapore.

Late afternoon we went to Marina Bay bar, had a beer and enjoyed the sunset from there.  In the evening we went to see the light show at Gardens by the Bay.

In the morning of April 5 we went to some malls… no visit to Singapore is complete without visiting some shopping malls!  We did not buy anything but wanted to see the magnitude of it.


In the afternoon we went to Gardens by the Bay.  There are two domes, the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest Dome.  Both of them are impressive, however the Cloud Forest is amazing, the structure of it and the walkways are fantastic.  In the evening we went to 1-Altitude, a classy bar in town, to have a beer and enjoy a nice view of the city at night.
