I thought Singapore would have changed since I was last here in 1998, but I guess my own situation has changed more significantly. Back then, as a student I could only afford to stay in a 6 bunk bed dormitory in a crappy old building downtown. Two Norwegian girls staying the same dorm had money stolen from them, but the best thing about the dormitory was the Indonesian owner.
One afternoon I came in, I noticed that the Indonesian owner was sitting with a beautiful girl on his lap. Asking an American long term resident about this (he was living in the dorm while working temporarily on some project in Singapore), he told me the Indonesian owner had recently been to Indonesia to pick up his third bride. What a lucky man.
Anyway, this time around we stayed at the Changi Village Hotel, which is located conveniently close to the airport. While the hotel has mixed reviews online, it is a great hotel for a layover on the way to another location. We are now off to Cambodia.
