Things to Do  

Sentosa Island

Sentosa Island, Singapore

 58 Reviews  We went to Sentosa Island by cable car. On the island we took the bus to different destination on the island. The island is packed with number of attractions. Our first stop was Siloso Beach, well I wouldn’t call it a beach in comparison to the beaches in Australia. Maritime Museum was our next... 

Singapore Zoological Gardens & Night Safari

Singapore Zoological Gardens & Night Safari, Singapore

 107 Reviews  It’s the closest place to a jungle. With free-ranging orang utans overhead, you’re out to set foot on an adventure on your own. The place was quite a maze, which, if you don’t have a map at hand, you’ll end up at the White tiger’s den or at the Hamadryas Baboons! I did just that when I was lost from...

Restaurants  

Newton Hawker Centre

Newton Hawker Centre, Singapore

 15 Reviews  If you don't already know, the tastiest Singapore food and dishes are found in hawker centres in the residential areas. And Newton Hawker Centre is one of the many except that it is very well known but the food is more expensive than hawker centres visited by locals. There is also another problem....

 73 Reviews  Singapore MRT system is very well connected to different parts of Singapore and very clean! If you have the time and plan to explore around little Sunny island, get the the Singapore Tourist Pass! Unlimited rides on Singapore's public transport like MRT, LRT and basic bus services. 

From/To Malaysia

From/To Malaysia, Singapore

 56 Reviews  Avoid Lionstar Express coach service at all cost. This horrible service is a subsidiary company under the Transtar Group. We had a terrible experience travelling from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur on 28th Feb 2013. Firstly it's supposed to be an express service and we were told we would arrive in KL...

Sim Lim Square

Sim Lim Square, Singapore

 56 Reviews  Just got ripp off in Focuspoint Electronics PTE LTD in SIM LIM TOWER. I understand this is ar Market Place and you are suposed to bargain. But that they officially cheat an laugh at you when you come back to complain makes me angry. I just payed 130 Dollar for an adapter worth 10-20 Dollar, just... 

Orchard Road

Orchard Road, Singapore

 55 Reviews  You can do a lot in 8 hours since Singapore is so small. I would recommend taking a taxi of course as you have limited time, straight into Orchard Road, the heart of the city. Preferably Orchard Ion one of our newsest and biggest malls. You probably have some time to expereince some shopping and...

Warnings and Dangers  

Prostitution

Prostitution, Singapore

 10 Reviews  I've been Mickied once in my life and that one time was in Singapore. I was on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the Orchard Towers (AKA 4 Floors Of Whores) in Singapore hanging out with the Thai ladies. Next thing I know I wake up 10 hours later on my ship. I slept right through my watch. Thankfully I made... 

Rules & Civil Conduct

Rules & Civil Conduct, Singapore

 19 Reviews  MRTs are one of the most common modes of transportation in Singapore. They are subway trains which travel at high speeds, are cheap and sometimes not underground. The doors open for about 5 minutes for people to get out and get in and then close automatically. The thing people should most watch out... 

Tourist Traps  

Purchasing Electronic Goods

Purchasing Electronic Goods, Singapore

 25 Reviews  Ladies and gentelman, I wuld suggest not even going into the shop called SLR Pro, located on the ground floor in Sim Lim Square. Yes, I got duped because I was stupid. You WILL be duped if you go there. Singaporeans are normally honest. The owner and salesman at the specific shop does not care... 

Price Hacking

Price Hacking, Singapore

 9 Reviews  The whole place is a trap, from when you leave the plane be on guard. The taxi driver will take you the longest way possible and charge max. extras. In your hotel it starts cheap then theres extras from clean sheets to using the Iron. The guy who you think is your friend is going to tell the... 

What to Pack  

Dress for tropics

Dress for tropics, Singapore

 16 Reviews  when going to hot and humid Singapore. It is best to bring extra light colored t-shirts and athletic of jogging shorts rather than dark colored shirts or jeans as the dark colored shirts tend to absorb more heat rather than reflect the heat of the sun. Singapore is a tropical and humid country and... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Changi Beach & Changi Village

Changi Beach & Changi Village, Singapore

 10 Reviews  Changi village is a somewhat laidback place where one can escape from the virtual concrete jungle that is singapore, for a taste of what it perhaps once was when it was less developed. Don't worry, even if you are not interested in seeing a less built up side of the island, it is wonderful to... 

Haw Par Villa (Tiger Balm Gardens)

Haw Par Villa (Tiger Balm Gardens), Singapore

 3 Reviews  As a short background on this place, it was the abode of the Tiger Balm pioneers; the Aw brothers (Aw Boon Hor & Aw Boon Par, the latter being the elder and more flamboyant of the two). It was, however, primarily resided by Aw Boon Par as Boon Haw was based in Hongkong most of the time. It is,...

Sport facilities, Singapore

 10 Reviews  Forest Adventure is actually an aerial tree obstacle course. You get to traverse among the trees using ladders, bridges, swings, nets, trapezes and giant zip lines! I did the Grand Course for the very first time and took about 3.5 hrs to complete. At the highest point, it is 15 metres above...

Singapore Currency

Singapore Currency, Singapore

 8 Reviews  The Singapore dollar is roughly 80US cents. If you're British it's an easy calculation 1 pound is two Singapore dollars. Singapore is not a cheap destination certainly compared to the rest of South East Asia so budget accordingly before you arrive.
