A brief 2008 stopover in Singapore filled with sights, food and first impressions—an inspiring travel snapshot that sparked many return visits. 2008 Singapore Travel Guide & Blog SINGAPORE - HOLIDAY in 2008 A Travel Blog Experience My relationship with Singapore has unfolded over nearly three decades of travelling, filming, and documenting my journeys online. What began as a simple stopover on long‑haul trips to Australia gradually became one of my most familiar and frequently revisited destinations. In the early years, Singapore was primarily Changi Airport to me — a place of smooth connections, clever design, and the kind of efficiency that made travel feel effortless. But with each return, I found myself drawn further into the city beyond the terminals. Across my KHWD travel sites, you can see that evolution clearly. My early notes focus on the novelty of passing through one of the world’s best airports, but over time my trips expanded into the heart of Singapore: Marina Bay’s futuristic skyline, the cultural layers of Chinatown and Little India, the green corridors threading through the city, and the ever‑changing attractions that make every visit feel new. I’ve captured these experiences through photos, long‑form diaries, and now video. The YouTube playlist reflects that shift too. It’s a mix of walking tours, food explorations, airport guides, and city snapshots — mirroring how my own travels moved from quick transits to deeper, more curious wanderings. Each clip adds another layer to the story I’ve been telling across my websites: a Singapore where tradition and modernity sit side by side, where hawker centres are as memorable as skyline views, and where I always seem to find something different each time I return. Singapore has become more than a destination for me. It’s a recurring chapter in my wider travel story — a place I’ve grown with, documented, and revisited as both a traveller and a digital archivist, capturing its changes alongside my own. It is especially loved by me as our youngest son and family live there as well as it being a convenient half way house to Antipodean lands, also special to both of us. See some of our many trips to Singapore PLAY Changi Airport Clarke Quay 2008 15th September Day 326 - Monday 15th September 2008, Sydney 2 Hong Kong via Singapore Just passing thru, touchdown at Changi Airport for refueling and change of plane We had about 1½ hours here Maybe you can argue we were doing a reccie for Doug & Phoenix in advance. Really we were just passing through both on the way out in 1995 and the way back here in 2007-08. We remember the slick fast transit monorail from one terminal to another, not eating gum and in 1995 being woken up for my 7th meal in under 7 hours. Back for 2 weeks to really see it in 2013 with the lovely Mr & Mrs Hellinger.Plus again in 2014, 2018 and 2019 Diary Day 326 - Monday 15th September 2008, Sydney 2 Hong Kong via Singapore Long day flying, watched lots and lots of movies on the flight Up about 4.45am , flew at 8.05am although it was 15mins late going Good airplane, Air Singapore had to swap at Changi and use posh fast shuttle train to our next gate The luggage got transferred automatically for us from one plane to the other Taxi at HK was a hoot Service guy wrote down the hotel in Chinese for the driver who we had fun communicating with by hand signals Kowloon a long way Over lovely bridge and under tunnel 45 mins drive Went to wrong hotel then had to go to New SD all fine £75 a night stayed 3 nights Hot 35c and 100% humidity, what we saw today,Airports and movies, who we met, Shuttle guy @ Holiday Inn Sydney who was annoyed we had loaded on our own bags. Jobsworth! Getting on the plane went very quickly when one considers it, taxi driving thru market to San Diego (wrong hotel) was amusing, took 1 picture of Changi airport only! Plus remembering my Dad with love, who died on this day 6 years earlier. Summary: SINGAPORE 1½ hours , Day 326, 15/9/2008
