Singapore Changi Airport
For guests flying in, Paradox Singapore Merchant Court is about a 20–25 minute drive away from the airport.

Getting Around
Ride-Sharing or Ride-Hailing Apps
Grab is the go-to app in Singapore. Uber and Lyft do not operate there, so downloading Grab is recommended for easy travel around the city.
Public Transportion
The Singapore MRT is one of the fastest ways to get around the city. It’s clean, reliable and tourist-friendly —making it easy to explore the city without the need for a car.
Borders and Lockdowns Couldn't Keep Us Apart
Melissa & Jonathan matched on Hinge in September 2019. It was smooth sailing from there.
From day one, they were like two peas—just in very different pods. Jonathan would wake up at 4:15am and Melissa would be awake to respond 'Good Morning ☺' after coming home from a night out.
Their fondness for each another continued to grow with their long.... loooong late night phone conversations. Jonathan's heart was pounding out of his chest, unsure if it was due to the lack of sleep or if he was falling in love.
After a few months of dating, things got real: Melissa had to move back to Canada. Cue the long-distance saga— planned flights, 12-hour drives across the border, etc. Just when they thought they had it all planned out, COVID strikes and the world hits pause. Their plans go down the drain.
Despite the odds, the two peas were determined to make it work. Six years later, here they are, still together and finally living in the same pod in New York.
