In January 2025, I traveled to Singapore with my wife for a four-day vacation. Singapore is a vibrant and modern city known for its impressive skyline, clean streets, and diverse culture. During our stay, we visited iconic attractions such as Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa Island. We enjoyed exploring the bustling shopping districts like Orchard Road and trying delicious local cuisines at various hawker centers. The city’s blend of futuristic architecture and lush green spaces made our trip memorable. Spending quality time with my wife in such a dynamic and beautiful city was an unforgettable experience.
