While checking out of our hotel, the front desk asked how our stay was and I briefly mentioned that it was good but my son had diarrhea the entire day yesterday. He talked to the executive chef and the chef gave me some tips on what to feed Mason as well as told me that I should have told him yesterday so that he can prepare some food for Mason. He asked when we were leaving and I told him in a couple of minutes as our driver is coming to pick us up. He asked me to wait a few minutes and went to get some bread and bananas for Mason to eat. Super nice guy and people at the hotel. Highly recommend to stay at this hotel if you are in Siem Reap.
The driver was waiting for us and we left for the airport which was about 15 minutes ride. After checking in, we went through customs and had to show our passport, boarding pass, immigration card and copy of visa. They took away our arrival card and visa before stamping on our passport.
We went through the security check and proceed to the lounge. There was no one at lounge and we were there for a while before another family of three came. The food selection at the lounge was pretty good compared to the one in U.S. and we had our stomach filled with food before boarding our plane.
The flight to Singapore was about 1 hour and 55 minutes and landed in Terminal 2 in Singapore. Terminal 2 was under construction, so some area was covered and it was quite a bit of walk to go through customs. Since we have U.S. passport and had filled out the declaration form online, we were allowed to use their automated line to scan our passport, eyes as well as right thumb.
After getting through customs, we went to pick up our luggage and took a taxi to our hotel near Orchard Road and it cost SIN $55 for a big van so that it can fit our 4 large luggage.
We checked into our hotel and when we went inside our room, it smell moldy and I had to go back to the front desk to change our room. The front desk was very nice and told us that they have another room for us which we went. This time, the room did not have any smell, which was a good sign but the bathroom was full of molds. We didn't change our room again as we were all tired but I am quite disappointed in both of our hotel stays in Singapore as the rooms in both hotels were not well kept and for the price that we are paying, I was expecting a bit better room condition. The hotels in Bali and Siem Reap were in a much better condition than Singapore.
We rested a bit before Anthony and I ventured out to find food. Mason was still feeling sick, so we bought him some porridge and noodles for Madison. After having our late lunch, we went to my old neighborhood to buy some local snacks before returning to our hotel with some dinner.
