Singapore is in the ideal location. Just a 30 minute boat ride away is the island of bintan in Indonesia. We went to this island just for a short weekend trip and relaxed on the beach and walked around a small town on the island. We ate chili crab (or craw dads), shrimp, and lots of rice on the porch of a local restaurant. It was a sleepy town and as we were leaving the restaurant the owner of a spa came up to all of us ( Lisa, lauren, jake, and Thomas) insisting that we need a massage before our boat leaves. We had to accept so we went in and jake and Thomas experienced there first and probably last spa experience. The spa owner then decided he would take us to our boat and we chatted with him along the way. Like the other countries we have visited in Asia, then Indonesians we met were extremely welcoming, friendly, and eager to help us with anything we needed.
Another weekend trip that we took (lauren, Lisa, jake, and Thomas) took with a friend of ours was to rawa island in Malaysia. This took 3 hours in the car and 30 minutes in a boat. It was extremely beautiful and secluded which was perfect to get away from the city in singapore. We hiked, swam, and snorkeld and will definitely return.
