Singapore Botanical Gardens

by victorwkf

Singapore has one of the most impressive botanical gardens in the region, and I visit this place periodically as I am a nature lover. There are many varieties of plants and flowers, including a orchid garden, medicinal plant area, aromatic spice plant area etc. You must visit this place if you are a nature lover.

Weather in Singapore

by Pomska

The hottest months are July and August. The wettest months are November, December and January. The hottest time of the day is early afternoon when the temperature is approximately 30 C. The humidity is very high.Singapore has a typical tropical climate with uncomfortable rainfalls and high humidity. Altough the heavy rainfalls, Singapore lacks adequate water supply and it has to import the water from Malaysia.

Fahion-trip

by RoyJava

The Singapore trip still is the one and best trip I ever made for fashion work. Enjoyed all of the trips, but this one took me back to my roots and, the incredible mythic, maidenly Spirit-queen of South Java. Together with only one model for several fashion shooting, including the very trendy fashion magazine Harper's Bazar and its team, Singapore is kept in my mind. I loved model Anne who did a wonderful job. I loved Singapore who granted the most beautiful areas for background ...THANKS SINGAPORE

DURIANS

No secret I do love durian! Famous as well hated in the enitre Orient my mom loved the fruit when pregnant of me. I love the smell, I love the taste, I love the looks! See >>>BIGBENDA - Fruitlover Number 1 It is quite remarkable all of my friends, includes the fashion ones, do not like durian. So when possible they stay far away as I sneak to the hawkers to enjoy my delicious durian ... having it for my very own (well, when mom's in the neighbourhood ... ... ...)DURIAN - KING OF FRUITby SangAji

Drinking water from the tap & NEWater

by xuessium

Singapore's water is safe for drinking right from the tap. It obeys WHO standard as the water has been chlorinated to kill germs and flourinated to strengthen teeth. There's really no reason for you to be purchasing bottled water at all. Helps to save that pile of bucks there.Singapore is not self-sustainable when it comes to water demands. We buy a large portion of our water from the state of Johor in Malaysia. The other 2 portions come from rainwater collected in our reservoirs and from NEWater - recycled water via reverse osmosis technology. A 4th source will be added soon, via desalination. It is the country's hope that we will wean ourselves off the supply from Malaysia in 20 years and thus free ourselves from political blackmail from our neighbour up north.

High Tea!

by TracyG

Go and have High Tea at Raffles Hotel. Not as expensive as you might think, and very worth it for a bit of nostalgia - and the opportunity to stand on the beautiful staircase... Top it all off with a Singapore sling cocktail in the Long Bar! What I miss most about Singapore are the shops. For a shopaholic like moi, it is absolute heaven. They might not be the cheapest in the world, but they are definately the best... - and to follow that, my fondest memory has to be getting a bargain DKNY dress.........!

The Singapore (Tourist) Visitors Centre

by xuessium

After many years of saying "no", the Tourism Board finally caved in to reality and build a "Central" Tourist Information Office along Orchard Road to cater to the needs of visitors. And typically Singaporean, they build a big one at that with booths for currency exchange, car rental and insurances. Right next to the white building is a booth for the popular Duck Tours and Hippo Buses tours. Here, you can arrange day tours and get the latest tourist-related information. The building is located between The Heeren and Orchard Emerald, diagonally opposite the Meritus Mandarin and a 5-10 minutes walk after exiting Somerset MRT station. Website: VISIT SINGAPORE

by cheapskate

If you have the time and the money to spare.. catch a concert in the Esplanade...Depending on who is performing.. the prices changes from around S$10 to sometimes more than S$300!But whether u pay $10 or $500 for the ticket... NEVER.. and i repeat.. N E V E R.. NEVER EVER be late..Not exactly the most handicap friendly place...and if your seats are circle 2 and above.. be expecting to climb some stairs...NOT so glam if you're all dolled up for the evening.. but you're running for your life to make it on time...Believe me.. all performances start on the dot... and i've ran for my life too... not fun to finally reach there and be panting from exhaustion! hahahaThey are very strict regarding punctuality.. They will only let you in during intervals if there are any. I really like the main lobby of the Esplanade.. because they always put up different arty things that i -one of the most...
