Singapore

Sleek, Sophisticated and Stylish....Singapore is a high tech metropolis, and one of my all time favorite cities. It is a rich melting pot of Asian cultures, friendly people and delicious food. with lots to do, and it is probably the most family friendly city in Asia. Theme Parks, a fantastic zoo and much more, giant shopping malls on every corner, world class entertainment. truly excellent public transport...did i mention the food!!
Orchard Road![]() No trip to Singapore is complete without a little retail therapy..a stroll along Orchard Road will have any enthusiastic shopper's head turning around like an owl. I am not a big shopper myself, and i was blown away by there sheer size, and amount of huge shopping centers on every corner. I couldn't cross the road without getting lost inside one...helplessly sailing up an escalator..with the exit disappearing below me..or getting off the subway and finding myself of the 6th floor off some mall...with google maps useless in my hand...pleading with Ganesh or Buddha to let me find the exit.
You can find absolutely anything you want here. A great time to visit here is during Christmas. The whole street is decorated with amazing lights, Huge Christmas trees, modern and traditional, music, street performances and exceptional window displays, with all the malls putting a great deal of effort into fine displays all along the street. Onward TravelGrab a bus to Kuala Lumpur, only 2hrs away, or to the old calonial town of Malacca, Malaysia.
Crossing the Border is pretty straight forward. The bus will stop, everyone gets off, takes all their bags with them. you walk inside passport control, follow the directions and emerge the other side and your bus will be waiting there for you. easy peasy. Just make sure you have correct visa if you need one. |
