Welcome to Things to Do in Singapore, your daily guide to adventure in this incredible city! I'm Ollie Bennett, and I'm absolutely buzzing today—Friday, November 28th, 2025—because Singapore is absolutely popping off right now. The weather is a bit moody with light showers and overcast skies, temperatures hovering around 81 to 83 degrees Fahrenheit, but don't let that rain dampen your spirit. This is the perfect atmospheric backdrop for an epic day of exploration!

Let me hit you with the main events electrifying the city today. First up, Anime Festival Asia is in full swing at Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre through Sunday, and listeners, this is genuinely spectacular. We're talking movie screenings, meet-and-greets with massive industry names, exclusive merchandise booths, and the I Love Anisong Music Festival kicking off tonight at 7 PM. Japanese rock band Spyair is performing, and that's just the appetizer. Tickets start at just 25 dollars for exhibition access.

Christmas Memorabilia is happening at the MINT Museum of Toys if you're feeling nostalgic and festive. There's also "As With the Wind," a theatrical production exploring two estranged sisters confronting buried memories and unspoken pain—perfect if you want your emotions absolutely wrecked in the best way possible.

For the cultural enthusiasts out there, "The Next Brew: Young Perspectives on Kopi and Culture" is a moderated panel discussion featuring three brilliant young Singaporeans diving deep into coffee culture. And here's something quirky that I absolutely love—there's a Relief Printing and Embroidery workshop running through December 6th where you can literally carve your own stamps and stitch patterns onto fabric. How cool is that?

Now, here's my local pro tip for navigating Singapore like a true insider. The city transforms dramatically depending on which neighborhood you explore. The Bras Basah Bugis precinct has an entirely different vibe from the Marina Bay area, and both are worth experiencing. Plus, Singapore's incredible food scene is absolutely hidden in the most unassuming hawker centers—don't judge by appearance, judge by the queues of locals waiting.

My absolute must-do recommendation today? Hit the Anime Festival Asia if you're even remotely interested in pop culture, grab some festival food, and catch that concert tonight. The energy will be absolutely electric. If anime isn't your jam, wander through one of Singapore's heritage neighborhoods, grab some kopi from a traditional kopitiam, and just soak in the multicultural atmosphere that makes this city genuinely magical.

Tomorrow, the festivities continue with more Anime Festival Asia action, plus you've got the Singapore Design Week really firing on all cylinders with over 60 events, and there's even an opera experience happening at DnA Fest. So listeners, stay tuned tomorrow for more incredible discoveries across this amazing city.
