A business trip to Singapore part 2 - Weekend

After getting a cold on Friday, it was getting worse and worse, but thanks to my friend, I enjoyed sightseeing on Saturday. I met a friend in Lang-8 and he showed me around!!

First, he took me the URA City Gallery. There were miniatures of Singapore. Those were made very well. There were also miniatures of buildings which were built in the future. It was surprising. Although there are already a lot of high buildings in Singapore, Singapore is still improving.

Then, we had lunch at a food court. I ate typical Singaporean (Chinese?) food. Yummy!

After that, we went to China Town. Singapore is amazing. Several different cultures gather. It's amazing and interesting.

Next, we went to Little India. Almost all of the people there were Indians and most of the stores sold Indian goods and food. I felt as if I were in India. (I have never been to India though.) It was also amazing experience!

Then we went to see the Merlion!!! Wow!!

It's the first visit to Singapore for me. This is must-see, isn't it?

My friend's friend joined us there. He explained about a lot of things we could see in detail.
Three of us had Chinese food for dinner. It was the first time for me to see (and eat) black chicken! But its taste was the same as normal chicken.

If I haven't met my friend, I would have come back to Tokyo without such a wonderful sightseeing. I'm really thankful to him and his friend.

Next day (Sunday), my cold got worse. So I didn't go out. I stayed in my hotel room and did just my job. Because of a bad cold, my face was terrible. I thought I had to do something, then I called Spa of the hotel. Fortunately, I was able to reserve a facial treatment after 20 minutes. Even after the treatment, my face didn't recover, it cost 200 Singapore dollars though...
