Episode Background:
As part of season of DIY Destinations, and Travel Guide, one of the Travel Guide episode featured Kuala Lumpur and Destinations episode featuring Palau. To get from Kuala Lumpur, we had to fly to Manila to catch a United Airlines flight to Palau. Therefore, I thought it will be neat to do a new series called Layover to show how easily and inexpensively to discover a new cities between connecting flights as long as layover is more than 8 or more hours. In this case, I was lucky enough to have exactly 23.5 hours to spent in Singapore.

You get a 1 day, 2 day or 3 day Tourist Pass for SG $10, $16 or $20, which gives you unlimited travel on their subway, light rail and the buses. I recommend you get a two day pass even if you are staying under 24 hours, as coverage of the day pass begins from your 1st usage of the pass to the end of public transport service for that day. You get the Tourist Pass right near the entrance to the airport MRT station, there is a $10 deposit for the card which is refunded once the card is returned on your last day.
