Yeah, I’m a big fan of toy museums. Been to two in Thailand (see the Million Toy Museum in Ayutthaya, the Batcat Museum in Bangkok, and there were quite a few toys in the House of Museums) — there’s still a big kid inside me Singapore’s two […]

]]> Getting started in Singapore: orienting yourself and saving money in the world’s most expensive city https://worthygo.com/getting-started-in-singapore-orienting-yourself-and-saving-money-in-the-worlds-most-expensive-city/ Wed, 10 Dec 2014 11:47:35 +0000 http://worthygo.travel.blog/?p=526 I recently traveled to Singapore to speak at the ITB Asia conference — a chance to talk about travel blogging and building an online community. Since that’s probably only interesting to a small percentage of you, I thought I’d write about saving yourself some time and money while in Singapore. The BBC announced earlier in 2014 Singapore […]

(Singapore) https://worthygo.com/destination-asian-civilisations-museum-carved-skulls-guardians-of-hell-and-a-rubber-duckie/ Mon, 24 Nov 2014 02:00:08 +0000 https://worthygo.com/2014/11/destination-asian-civilisations-museum-carved-skulls-guardians-of-hell-and-a-rubber-duckie/ Peer into thousands of years of Asia’s history — including a lucky rubber duckie. OK, so it’s not as weird as the Haw Par Villa / Ten Courts of Hell you’ve already read about. Instead, it’s a great look at the history of a diverse continent, complete with lots of exhibits you’re unlikely to see elsewhere. Originally dedicated […]

Three days of networking, seminars, and talking about travel — actually, I cut out on the last day to actually see Singapore. Laura and I arrived early enough the day before to take in one of the island’s […]
