Arab Street Singapore

Free buffet breakast - if these three words are ever mentioned you know you are onto a good thing. We headed down to breakfast at about 9:30 and were expecting a small fair with a few options like what we experienced in Japan, when we sat down and had a look at the buffet we were very impressed with the spread.

We had choices between: …

Singapore is a modern city/country with Asian flavor. It's one of the cleanest places I have ever seen. I really enjoyed the Marina Bay Sands area. It includes a high-scale shopping mall with a nice food court. Also, there is this huge water fountain that grabs attention. The views from Sky Sans is just breath taking, it might be a bit pricy to go …

We almost didn't make it to Singapore!!

We had been told when we checked in at Cairns, that we only had an hour to make our connection in Sydney, but that we should be fine. When we landed, we were aware we were already running a bit behind schedule, so were eager to get of the plane as quickly as possible. We spotted the signs for our …

We arrived in Singapore, smelling like rancid yaks after an overnight flight. Then, suddenly, it was Christmas. We had completely forgotten about Christmas. I mean, we knew it existed and we knew it was soon but because we were coming home to NZ for the summer there was talk of Christmas. What would we do, …

My main issue with Singapore is that the escalators move too fast. I had to be very quick on my weary feet or risk serious orthopaedic consequences! So, my legs are killing me, even my hips hurt. Basically resonates how much cool stuff I saw today.

Last night I managed to stay up until 4am NZ time; I took to the streets of Little India. …

Kampong Glam, named for the Glam tree, was the section of Singapore allocated to the Malays by Raffles. As the Dutch and British fought for control of trading through Singapore, they supported different brothers as Sultans of the area. The final decision gave Singapore and Malaya to the British and Indonesia to the Dutch. Raffles took control of …

Yesterday we moved hostels to Farrer Park. Through the day we went to Sakya Muni Budda Gaya Temple, with a Buddha statue that's 15m tall and weighs 300tons. We span a wheel relating to chinese animal years and collected our fortune. Holly is the Dragon, Stewart the Rabbit. After we went to Sri Veerama Kaliamman Temple, a Hindu shrine.In the evening …

Walking, eating and drinking...That is all! J Co the Donut shop to die for.... Tasty treats of yummy goodness. I hoovered mine but Steve ate his in one bite! Haji Lane - Singapore's smaller and more colourful version of Acland Street. Slightly boho with a Mexican feel housing boutique shops full of hip and happening clothes! (Damn that bloody …

Als meine Eltern an einem gewissen Donnerstag in Singapur gestrandet sind, hieß es mal wieder, ein bisschen was in Singapur zu unternehmen...

Will hier nicht bis ins kleinste Detail gehen und mal ein bisschen die Fotos für sich sprechen lassen. Wir waren hauptsächlich im Botanischen Garten, im Jurong Bird Park (größter Vogelpark der Welt …

Me, Nikki and Mike took the MRT to Little India, as soon as you step out of the station on to Serangoon Road, the smell of spices and fruit from the street peddlars is overwhelming at times. Here all things Indian inspired can be found- fabrics, materials, Henna, and food. You can still acquire the junky souvenirs of your trip. As you walk around …

... much to mention as it was pretty touristy! We also took a trip to Chinatown and Little India, Orchard road and Arab street, the 4 main attractions of the city. Obviously all different cultures but still the same stall selling watches!! That ...

... around. Yeah, you should have stayed in Bangkok. There isn’t any here. You like jazz? Acid jazz? They suggest a place up near Arab street, the same commercial district I was in earlier to day. Get a little lost on the way again, bit find some bars, ...
