Because I couldn’t decide whether to post about Singapore first or Hanoi, why not give the summary of where we’ve been.

The trip started and ended in Sydney (doh!). Thanks to Scoot, we got Sydney-Singapore return for $600AUD per person, including food and baggage. The fare sometimes even go as low as $400 return, but I’m still happy with what we paid considering that we left on a Saturday, return on a Sunday and had 25kg baggage allowance each.

So first stop was Singapore. We stayed 3 nights and 2 whole days, just enough to see its highlights and meet-up with good friends who are based there. Also, less days in Singapore means less expensive days for the whole trip.
