If you live in Bali, Singapore is just around the corner.25 hours of flight and you're there. Ideal for taking a break and doing some shopping.

By subway from the airport to downtown Singapore.

With a stopover on my way to Australia, I once shopped here a long time ago: brought a nice photo lens.

Our brain is unable to oversee the long-term consequences of our behavior. All that pointless talk in Sharm el-Sheikh won't change the world. A topic that received little attention at the meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh, but is no less serious: the rise in sea level threatens to disappear small Pacific island states such as Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Kiribati. New Zealand Auckland is home to refugee residents who have lost all hope.
The rise in sea levels around the Indonesian island of Pulau Pari would have already led to increased floods and damage to homes, streets and local businesses, according to Swiss Church Aid (HEKS/EPER), an NGO that supports the cause. The organization insists that large parts of the island are likely to be flooded in the coming decades and that a rapid, global reduction in carbon emissions is needed to prevent this. It's what it is.
