Prior to this trip to Singapore I had never been to Asia before so I really wasn't sure what to expect. While the heat and humidity was no joke, I had an amazing time and will definitely be back. I did not spend too much time taking photos, but I want to share my favorites.

Our hotel was just a 10 minute walk from the Marina Bay Sands so we spent a lot of time around there.

The shopping center, appropriately named "The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands", was a beautiful example of the overall aesthetic present in many of the malls throughout Singapore.

Inside and out, The Apple Store was also one of the newest flagship retail stores. You enter from inside the shopping center's bottom floor and then take a long escalator into the Orb standing above the water.

The hotel itself is also quite a speculator sight, there are restaurants and bars at the top as well as a long infinity edge pool.

On one of the hottest days of our trip, we decided to go explore the famous botanical gardens Singapore is famous for...it did not disappoint.

We spent hours walking around in the blazing sun and in the Orchid Garden. If you are in Singapore I would highly recommend going, hopefully not on the hottest day you are there.

Overall Singapore was one of my favorite places I have ever travelled to and definitely worth the almost 19 hour non-stop flight.
