Places: Singapore - My trip journal of the Lion City


The Merlion
Singapore was one of my favorite place in the world. I always make sure to have a stop over before going to my homeland from my work overseas. Singapore airlines usually offer a free one night stay to any hotel through their Singapore holidays promo. This includes free hotel accommodation (Furama hotel was my choice for this offer), free breakfast, and hotel / airport service (no tour included). You may arrange your city tour at the hotel itself. However if you have friends in the city, it is advisable to seek for  their assistance for the tour.

If you do not have any land arrangement, there are taxi's from the airport. You may take the taxi downtown for about SD 15 ( Php 520 ). This is depending on the time of day. Please note that peak hours carry a SD 3 (Php 105) additional fee. For other option, you may take the MRT for about 25 minutes. Rate is SD 2 (Php 69).

In Singapore, there are many tourist attractions. These include the Marina Bay resort, Universal Studios, Little India, Chinatown, Kampong Glam, and Sentosa Island, Singapore Zoo, Singapore River, Esplanade Singapore, Orchard Road and Singapore botanic gardens. These Singapore tourist attractions are the great ones, and within them, there is the great versatility that is offered to the tourists. Throughout the year, there are many tourists that come here and enjoy. The sunny climate with the amalgamation of the tropical weather, luxurious hotels on the economical rates and many more has made Singapore one of the best tourist spots in the world.

Island of Singapore
You can also spend your entire day at Changi beach park. The park is different from the rest of Singapore. Changi beach park is elegant, peaceful during daytime, but get ready for all-night partying when night falls.

Best eats suggestions is to try the local food court for their chili crabs, fried fish, prawns with salty egg yolk, and a variety of fresh seafood for your enjoyment.

At night time, the Skypark at Marina Bay Sands offer an amazing view of the rooftop pool. The Pizzeria and Osteria Mozzo Restaurant is highly recommended for dinner. For night outs, you may enjoy drinks at Ying Yang, a hip bar on the rooftop  of  the Club Hotel by Harry's Hospitality along Ann Siang Road.

Tip: Locals will love you if you put a "lah" at the end of each English sentence.
