If you are pressed for time and will only stay in Singapore for one night, plan your itenerary well. We arrived in Singapore from KL around 1pm, had a quick shower at the hotel, grab our bag & went shopping! We had to be back at the hotel by 5pm as we will go to the Night Safari. Went back to the city around 10pm & had dinner (tried some local food!). Woke up 6pm & caught the train going to Sentosa. Visited Carlsberg Sky Tower, The Merlion, Underwater World & Dolphin Lagoon. Have to rush back to the hotel for the bus will leave 1pm for KL.
Do make a trip to Fort Canning Park if you can. Interestingly there are walls from 1800s that carry tombstone tablets of British people who had been living in Singapore at the time. A tour to the Park with Singapore History Consultants revealed that around 1840s-1850s, there was a epidemic that wiped out a large part of the population. Also that living to an age past 40 was considered a 'long life'. Fort Canning park preserves these tablets which reveal many significant names of people and after whom some of the current streets in Singapore are named after. Pauline and I celebrate Singapore's first Earth Day in Fort Canning Park. Behind us you see a very old Banyan tree that dates back to more than 50 years ago.
The people, interesting places and landmarks. That means you won't get lost in the Singapore Jungle. Also don't forget the yummy good food.Do not take cab. The busses and Medium Rail Transport (MRT) are wonderful. Met a nice girlfriend.
The different cuisine available, they're all delicious, especially if you know where to find them. Always miss the food in Singapore when I go on trips.Top 10 Must Try Dishes as promoted by Singapore Tourism Board1) Fried Carrot Cake2) Bak Kut Teh3) Hainanese Chicken Rice4) Rojak5) Roti Prata6) Chilli Crab & Black Pepper Crab7) Char Kway Teow8) Laksa9) Fish Head Curry10) Satay
This is a wonderful lake (Symphony lake) situated in the heart of the Botanic Gardens> it is actually nearer from the main entrance at Cluny gate where the taxi stand is. You can have a lil picnic or just read or walk or lie down and let the lotus flowers smile at your soul. Also remember to check out Swan Lake. Here you will catch a glimpse of the legendary white swans that have been occupying these spaces for as long as i can remember of my 20 odd years in Singapore. There used to be black swans as well, but my latest trip there two weeks back revealed only white swans. Plus it's Singapore and the amount of upkeep they do here, mostly brings abt change upon change, so i wont be surprised if after these white swans, some other species takes its place!For pics of Swan Lake, click on the other pics below main pic. Cheers!
Forests like this used to cover the whole island of Singapore not too long ago. And it is said that even in the XIX century, tigers were shot on the island of Singapore.In spite of being one of the most overcrowded countries of the world, it has managed to protect a few areas of rainforest, which amazingly account for almost one fourth of tis territory. This is probably one of the easiest ways to approach the lavish beauty of the rainforest without leaving behind the facilities of one of the world's most modern metropolis.
Seen from our Euro-centered perspective, Singapore looks like a tiny spot on the tip of the Malay peninsula, but actually it is a relatively large island. With an area of roughly 700 km², it is about the same size as Minorca. A large part of its territory has been claimed to the sea. In terms of population, Singapore is well beyond the average European micro-state: with its almost 4,500.000 inhabitants, it is one of the most densely populated countries in the world (as it has almost as many inhabitants as Croatia and a few more than the Republic of Ireland). In spite of this overcrowding, it has managed to preserve almost a quarter of its territory, which is still covered with Equatorial rainfortest.Formerly a State within Malaysia, it was made to become independent from the federation in 1965 as the rest of the States believe it would impose its (too westernized) views on the...
It is said that Singapore is the cleanest city in the world. I am not sure whether that is something that can be measured, but it is true that there is a very strict anti-littering and anti-graffiti policy. This results in a city with an immaculate face.
