My few tips: 1: Bring a number of cooling / wicking t-shirts -- I like the " 32 Degrees Cool" ones - Costco generally has a 2 pack for $9.99 (this is only helpful if you live in the USA and have a costco membership :-P ). I'd go for a walk outside, and then rinse it in the shower. They dry quickly and a then fine for going out later in the day. 2: Bring a sun hat 3: Drink lots of water! 4: When I first travelled to Singapore (and was jetlagged!) I was surprised how many people made very straight queues to cross the road -- and then I figured out that they were actually just standing in the shade of the lamppost :-) 5: In spite of the heat / humidity (and my built in insulation!), Singapore is one of my favorite places -- from the hotel it is an easy walk to a number of different areas, including Little India, Chinatown and Arab Street. There is a large variety of architectures, many sights, lots of interesting food, etc. Prices are reasonable, I've never felt unsafe, everyone is pleasant, etc. As with anywhere, try to be respectful of cultural norms and you'll have a great time. Oh, the hotel complex is over a mall (http://www.rafflescity.com.sg/store-guide/) with some great food court offerings, including a Din Tai Fung (http://www.dintaifung.com.sg/) -- when I was there for an ICANN meeting I ate there ~12 times in 9 days :-) W > > Spencer > > On Wed, Jul 26, 2017 at 10:24 PM, Randy Bush <randy@xxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> > I note that there are transit hotels in the airport, this might make >> > sense to get some sleep after I arrive. >> >> i have used the changi transit hotels a fair bit. they're functional. >> be sure to visit the butterfly garden! >> >> randy >> > -- I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in the first place. This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf
