Gardens by the Bay: My Third Visit to the Flower Dome
I would not recommend buying the annual pass even though I’ve been here three times already. This time we got an additional discount using the Passion Card. It’s nice going with people who haven’t been there before. Just to see … Continue reading

Epilogue Cafe at ION: Nice View, Disappointing Drinks
