Wanna Catch a Movie while in Town?
by Rachelynn
Despite the abundance of DVD/VCD and the players, Singaporeans are great movie-goers. Especially so when it comes to block-buster movies, like Lord of The Rings, The Day After Tomorrow, Harry Potter, The Incredibles, Bridget Jones' Diary, Titanic of course are very good examples for the gross profit earned by cinemas here!
It cost $6.50 - $8.50 SGD per movie ticket, depending on weekday or weekend. If you book through internet or phone, you will need to pay a booking fee of $0.70...hmm. or is it $0.50.
Popular cinemas are Cathay Orchard (opposite heerem), Golden Village (GV) Plaza & Marina Sq. My favourites are GV Bishan & Great World City & Cathay Orchard
For online booking (via visa or mastercard only), here's the website for more information on locations and schedules.

United Overseas Bank

You should realize what a cool bank I thik this is, for me to mention it here. Being directly on the waterfront at the Boat Quay, and being graced with three famous statues commissione by the bank itslef, including Salvador Dali, this bank is by far the coolest bank I've ever been to. It has a massive covered area passing through from the strret to the water, and it is a perfect place to escape the direct sunlight or to enjoy the breeze at night sitting on one of its many benches. Really cool. Oh, yeah, they have ATM's...
It is not a mean feat

In Singapore, like a lot of other Asian countries, it is a custom to remove your shoes outside the house before entering. Therefore, be careful about your socks with windows. This stems from the belief that houses are considered sacred place and no bad influence be cast on the house. Therefore, by wearing shoes inside somebody's house, you may get bad influence from outside. In general if you get invited to somebody's house then they will offer you a house sleeper (only to be worn inside the house). WARNING: Don't wear expensive shoes when you get invited to somebody's house. 1. Nobody will notice your expensive shoes 2. Since it is kept outside, it may develop wings!!
