Every time I inform someone of my vacation travel plans, the above question is the very first thing asked.
[After the shock that I am actually leaving the country has worn off]
Singapore is pretty small. In fact it is one of the few remaining city-states in the world. It’s very humid, probably a tad more than a Canuck like moi is comfortable with.
So why go?
Well, on May 16, 2009, a Singaporean contacted me on the ol’ blog. Initially, we spoke about Korea-related stuff (and I did my best to avoid the K-pop talk), but afterwards, we gained a pretty good understanding of one another. I told her one day I would go to Singapore, so she could show me around. After reading my blog, watching my videos, and browsing my photos, she had promised (on numerous) occasions to show me around her native land. We also agreed that if she ever came to Korea, I would guide her around (if I had the time).
Like the Joker, I am a man of my word. Because I said I would, I have decreed I must.
Also, I really like travelling to places where someone in the know can show me around. It seems like a more authentic traveling experience. I have a good pal in the country, and I have five weeks of play time. I had said I would go to Singapore, years ago, so it seems like a win-win scenario.
[although it will likely rain the entire time]
What else will I do in Singapore? I wanna make videos, yo! I want to experience all that crazy food from the mix of cultures that make up Singapore. I want to learn a bit of Singlish, leh.
See what I did there?
Malaysia is literally a bus ride away, so I can spend a few hours there if I choose to. There should be enough to do, and keep me busy from the 18th-23rd.
Once I am back in Korea, I will plan my next excursion. My best friend will finish studying in China on the 15th of February, one day before my next vacation, so maybe we can do something together. Maybe.

If you are also in Singapore, and are of a savoury sort of person (in that you don’t stab people), get in touch with me.
WE CAN BE AWESOME, TOGETHER.

Update!
I have booked it (unless something screws up while I sleep)
