The Republic of Singapore is the biggest independent shopping- mall nation in Southeast Asia. Located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, it is a prosperous nation whose 4.2 million people enjoy one of the highest living-standards and most foodcourts in Asia. 
Coming from Indonesia it was sort of a culture-shock for us being in a taxi incl. air-conditioning, non-smoking driver, waiting on red traffic-lights and not non-stop using the horn. But Verena loved to enjoy the shopping malls with public toilets, cleaner than in every hostel room we’ve had. Looking around Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada & D&G it was a pity that she could not buy anything, because she would have to carry all the stuff in her backback… 
So we went out of the shopping malls without any bags to enter the “swissotel”-bar to enjoy some cocktails in the 71th floor (265m above sea level) and having a phenomenal view of Singapore’s skyline.
