Photo Taking At Esplanade...

by Ashley_Kwek

The hottest spot in Singapore right now is the Esplanade-Theatres on the Bay. It is located along Marina Bay. It can look forbidding at first glance but it kinds of grows on you. The locals call this magnificent performance place "durian" because of its spiky exterior. Viewing a performance there is an experience that you cannot missed. The sound system is magnificent and there are so many eateries and gathering areas there. It also offers a gorgeoous overview of the Central Business District in Singapore.

RAFFLES HOTEL

by Nina-Maarit

Raffles Hotel, built in 1887, is one of the few remaining great 19th century hotels in the world. It was declared a National Monument in 1987 and re-opened after restoration in 1991. Raffles Hotel's Long Bar is where the world-famous Singapore Sling was created by Hainanese bartender Ngiam Tong Boon.

Esplanade - Theatre on the Bay

by Sharrie

The latest addition to the skyline of Singapore. A "durian"-shaped dome which serves as the venue for multi-activity performing arts functions, it comprises of 5 indoor theaters & shops & offices.Well, it is certainly making waves in the art scenes & big name like Jose Carreras is performing there next week (Dec. 2002) & the musical "Singin' in the rain" is on till Dec. 8.

Haw Par Villa

by Sharrie

HAW PAR VILLA: Admission is free to this attraction. So, take time to visit this interesting site which displays Chinese cultural heritage to the public since 1937. If you are familiar with legends of "Journey to the West", the "Eight Immortals" & "Lady White Snake" you'll be amazed & tantalised by the figurines & statues in this compound which stirs your imagination to the fullest!

Statues of Sir Stamford Raffles

by Sharrie

This has to be the most photographed statue in Singapore. The statues of Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of Singapore, can be found both in front of Victoria Theatre (the original) & North Boat Quay (the so called replica). Behind the statue is the financial district of Singapore.

Singapore Philatelic Museum

by Sharrie

A museum for both ardent stamp collectors & all interested in cultures of multi-ethnic Singapore. Both local & international stamps collections & 1st day covers are being exhibited in this1907 quaint building (within walking distance from the Asian Civilisations Museum). Other exhibits illustrate the process of stamp making.Open: 9am - 6pm (Tue - Sun, closed on Mon) .Admission: S$ 2 (adults), S$ 1 children and senior citizens (60 years and above) .

Asian Civilisations Museum

by Sharrie

The most important exhibition in this marvelous musem has to be the permanent collection of the Peranakan Legacy which showcases the various embroidery, batik & exquisite silver pieces of the Perankans. For a clearer understanding of the Peranakans, please refer to the "local custom" tip of my page.

Bugis Junction

by Sharrie

Shop at BUGIS JUNCTION and SEIYU, one of Japanese major chain, something like Sears in U.S. & Canada. Many food outlets like Delifrance, MacDonalds, Mos Burger & Patara Thai Restaurant can be found here. At the basement, there's a great food court (airconditioned, naturally!) & many varieties of local food can be tried at the average price of US$3 per dishes.

The Great Singapore Sales

by Sharrie

SHOP! SHOP! SHOP! The Great Singapore Sales is usually in the month of July every year!OK, let's see. 1) No sales tax. 2) No GST for visitors (you can claimed them back at the airport). 3) Fixed price at most places. Incentive enough to bring all your credit cards? Yeah, you can buy your luggages here, no problem! My favorite things to buy are all the electronic goods, they are even better priced than in HK! Computers, MP3 players, CD writers, branded goods like Gucci, Cartier, Tiffany, Rolex, etc...

Asian Civilisations Museum

by Sharrie

ASIAN CIVILISATIONS MUSEUM: One of the best museums in Singapore! Do not miss this museum if you are interested in the multi-ethnic heritage of the Southeast Asian region. Housed at the old Tao Nan School, it's about 7 mins walk from the Singapore Art Museum from Queens Street. The museum also displays exhibits on both Peranakan & Chinese Culture. The Peranakan Legacy is especially interesting. The display looks at the unique culture forged between the Chinese, Malay & European worlds over 200 years ago.A spectacular showcase of Nonya beadwork, embroidery, jewellery, silverwork, sireh (betel-nut) & ceramics.Other exhibits include Indian treasures, Chinese Calligraphy from the Yeo Khee Lim Collection & (most interesting) the exhibitions of the Textile Friends of Singapore (Sacred Threads: Ceremonial Textiles of Southeast Asia).Open: 12 noon - 6pm (Mon), 9am - 6pm (Tue - Thur, Sat & Sun),...
