Pinoy on a layover - 11 hours in Singapore


Layover in SG - Changi Welcome bw I was traveling back to Manila using my airline miles so I took the best possible route my miles could get me. The only catch was that it included an eleven-hour stopover in Singapore. 

Fear not because I had done long layovers in SG before. Let me show you how I spent this eleven hours worth of stopover.
