Singapore - Changi Airport - 6hrs - afternoon-night

I had 6hrs in Singapore on my way to Paris. I can't remember why, but my bags were still in transit to Paris and I was able to just clear customs and walk out into the country with a day pack. I made a deal with a taxi driver to drop me at The Long Bar at Raffles Hotel and pick me up a few hrs later from the same spot...you have to go to The Long Bar and have a Singapore Sling at the place that it was invented. Great drink. Then I walked all the way to Lau Pa Sat, a food market...also a pretty cool place...headed back to Raffles, was picked up by the taxi driver, went back to the hotel to have a refreshing shower (Singapore is hot and humid) and get ready to get on the next flight.

    chrisboden If you have 6 hours you could probably pop out to the Singapore zoo. They do a great night safari if you have an evening to kill.
