In the same way that Myanmar's capital city of Naypyidaw is sprawled out over lush greenery, the SEA Games' Athletes Village is also a collection of two-storey blocks dotted sparsely over an expansive countryside.While some Games villages comprise densely-packed flats that resemble Singapore's condominiums, like that at last year's London Olympics, this version is grouped into 10 clusters of blocks flung out across a hilly terrain.
A three-minute shuttle bus ride takes one from the main gate to the cluster where Team Singapore are staying.
The athletes are housed in five blocks of eight rooms, with each room containing six beds. The beds are occupied on a rotational basis since some athletes compete earlier and depart by the time the later batch arrives.
