Singapore, Singapore didnt get to see much of singapore , just the airport, which is quite large compared to brisbane,lots of people. Good tip? (0) Singapore, Singapore It is the cleanest country! so, make sure you don't litter, or else you will be fined. Besides that, the food is amazing and fairly priced. Trains make travelling from city to city very easy. As for permanently settling in Singapore, you're looking at high taxes. Good tip? (0) Singapore, Singapore the best way to travel in singapore is the metro..its cheap, fast and the easiest way to get around.. Good tip? (0) Singapore, Singapore When in transit at Singapore airport, take the monorail to the other terminal - which you can do in transit without going through customs, visit the hotel and pay a fee to use the pool - you get a towel and some toiletries so you can shower afterwards. This is the best way to refresh yourself if you've been travelling longhaul. On last visit it cost me about $14 singapore dollars. Good tip? (0) Singapore, Singapore Singapore has one of the best public transport systems in the world and one of the cleanest. Taking the Bus or the MRT will get you almost anywhere you want to go and will be much cheaper than taking taxis everywhere. Make sure to get the easy to read transportation guides available everywhere and get started! Good tip? (0) Singapore, Singapore Singapore is the little island that could - it's probably the only country in the planet which decides that it can't survive without foreign visitors and get their acts together (hello, there's less people to organize over there - and they can do it quicker by brute force - stop smoking, spitting, and chewing gum or you're fined - so cold and yet so cool since it works). It transformed itself into a green beauty with shady large trees lining their streets and despite space constraints, still manage to provide us with plenty of public open spaces. Even a swimming pool on the 5th floor of a bldg offer a lofty view to die for. It offers almost everything any kind of tourists want, except nature trekkers and adventurers. Shoppers might not get the best deals since everything tends to be costlier here, but they will find it. So would the foodies type. Stylish culinary spots offer great ambiance, like Chijmes or Clarke Quay, and the latest, Tanglin. The culture vulture will never run out of options with every major bands, circus, and whatnot performers gracing its monumental theatres the Esplanades. With good preservation policy Singapore has some European grandeur left in its architecture, vestiges of its British colony days. The National Museum is a great place to start learning about the place! Kids would love the night safari and bookworms wouldn't want to leave the massive vast Kinokuniya store at Ngee An. Most hotels (all int'l chains are available here) are pricey, even the windowless, damp, 'cheap' ones. MRT/subway and bus systems cover most places (and there's not much to cover to begin with) so it's still explorable on the cheap. Otherwise, there are the "uncles" taxidrivers, and you can call these taxicabs companies to order one and avoid the queues. They are convenient, some accept credit cards payment and most will give you receipts. Good tip? (0) Sentosa, Singapore If you're scared of heights (especially like bridges etc) be prepared when going to Sentosa Island! Good tip? (0) Singapore, Singapore Cleanest and safest city I've seen (and lived) so far. You must see Sentosa, Night Safari, Clark Quay, Fountain of Wealth and ride the Singapore Flyer. The buses and MRT are very efficient and cost-effective. Buy the EZ-Link card to get cheaper fares. Good tip? (0) Singapore, Singapore Catch a taxi from the airport to your hotel - it's very very cheap and convenient! Catching a shuttle or a bus means you are likely to drop others off first, and waste lots of your time in the process. For the price I suggest catching a taxi on arrival. Good tip? (0) |
