Around Bras Basah

It has become imperative to eliminate the blog backlog. I will be back in Singapore soon, so I will be posting about the last Singapore trip before it catches up with me.

Stayed at Hotel Ibis on Bencoolen Street. The hotel has a boutique feel. Rooms are tiny but have compact creature comforts, including the smallest refrigerator I have ever seen.

What I like about the district is that it has plenty of art schools and the museums are close by, such as the National Museum, Singapore Art Museum and Mint Museum of Toys. It is close enough to the Suntec/Marina area. There are also a number of churches within a block of each other.
