Problems
Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un met in Singapore, happily with a historic handshake and no security problems. Where did they go? What did they see? What did they eat? What did it cost!

Answers
I was delighted that Trump and Kim met in Singapore. What a boost to Singapore's image, spreading worldwide knowledge on the tourist scene.

Landmarks I expected and hoped they would visit. They missed Singapore Night Safari. But Kim saw the Marina Bay Sands hotel with its rooftop, infinity pool, and the riverside walk. Wonderful.

You can walk around the marina and look up at the hotel. The lower floors are a complex of shopping arcade, upmarket shops, and restaurants. For twenty dollars you can ride up to the observation deck, and the twenty dollars is taken off the price of a drink or food.

The North Korean leader's bill was picked up by Singapore and cost millions, but it put Singapore on the world tourists' map.

Journalists got to see the Fullerton hotel and, I hope some of the surrounding waterside statues which I have described and photographed in previous posts.

I have also shown the parts of the Shangri-la hotel where Trump stayed, not the private tower, but the public areas which you can visit.

Sentosa island is another popular tourist area with a beach, a hotel, several attractions.

You won't be flying on a private US air force plane, but you can enjoy great comforts on the award-winning Singapore Airlines.
