Before heading to Diego Garcia, we had a day to catch up and rest in Singapore. I woke up at a decent time (9am), skyped with Ben and my parents, did a little bit of work (yes I am a dork, but I had to get some things done). Around lunch time I met up with my travel buddy Adam, and we had a really great lunch of Carls Jr. (we were hungry and it smelled good, don't judge!). After lunch we headed to downtown Singapore for some sight seeing. Given that I was(am) fairly jet-lagged, and I don't want to get sick before we even get to Diego Garcia, we took the easy route and bought a ticket for one of those open air hop on hop off tour busses. My observations from this brief trip is that Singapore is a crazy, loud, bustling city with a lot going on ... it also appears that Singapore must be constantly growing ... the entire down town is under construction. Here are some quick pictures of the city (most of them were taken from the tour bus, so they are not super great :( )
