Singapore Again

With the ship in port for the next two weeks, I had an interesting question. What was it I wanted to do with my liberty in Singapore? I knew my way around moderately well since the last port visit. I started the first night with laying around the pool at a club just outside of base relaxing. After all it was the middle of winter back in Japan. Singapore sits just north of the equator. I spent most of my time sight seeing and shopping although, I would discourage all that much shopping. Everything in Singapore is extremely expensive although they do sometimes offer discounts for foreigners. The movies are shown in English so I saw a movie with a group of friends while spending a few nights off the ship. The American Club was a nice retreat. Officers and Chiefs are welcome guests at all American Clubs worldwide, that was something I was not aware of prior to this visit. Considering how classy a club it is, that really is a very nice gesture. I was able to workout at the base gym and went back to the club just outside of base several times to hang out with sailors. MWR organized a party on the last day prior to leaving. The time off in a new port was nice but after two weeks, I was honestly ready for sea again.
