Singapore Flyer

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:

10th - 12th September - Singapore

10th of September

I flew to Singapore with Vietnam Airways then I travelled to my hostel in Little India using the MRT which was easy to use.

In the evening I met Keelin (who I travelled in Cambodia with) and her friends for some drinks at a bar in Emerald Hill which is just off Orchard …

We were sad to leave Indonesia and we really had a great time there. While the roads are really dreadful, the people are absolutely wonderful. We were welcomed everywhere and we really enjoyed the sights we saw. It's a pity that so much of the tourism is centred in Bali, because there is so much more to see but the roads make it difficult. …

It was officially my first time in Singapore. The only other time I had been in Singapore was a few years back during a flight transit, so I didn't see anything but the Changi airport at that time. This time, I'm ready to explore Singapore!

And what better way to start off than the Singapore Flyer? However, the first adventure would be to …

My wish from my previous entry came true - the weather allowed us to do everything we wanted. We had a perfect day yesterday on Sentosa with a great trip to Underwater World, Dolphin Lagoon, Siloso Beach, The Luge and Cinemax. The adventure started when we took the Cable Car from the 15th floor of an office building beside Vivo City on the …

We arrived at Lavender, Little India. About 9pm, I had another sense of deja vu, when the first guest house was full, this one was not as helpful as the one a couple of nights ago, it seems they weren't aware there was one just around the corner! Ideal, backpackers had a dorm bed for 20 Singapore $ (about £10). I was gasping for a smoke, I'd been …

Welcome again, this is Taggington ready to fill you in on the next instalment of our trip… Singapore. A highly developed and urbanised city-state off the southern tip of Malaysia, Singapore is home to 5 million people mostly of Chinese, Malay or Indian descent, though English is one of its official languages and is widely spoken. The …

Arrived in Singapore at 12:30am this morning after a 3.5hr flight from Hong Kong.

So in just 24hrs with 17hrs of flights been 2 countries down.


Just chilled in hotel and surrounding neighborhood today as Wenny ummm , see attached picture :|

And yes Wenny wanted and told me to post that picture as it sums up why we …

We arrived in Singapore to our luxurious hotel which ended up being even more luxurious than first imagined as we were upgraded to a club room (which included all FCUK toiletries). It was the first luxury we had in 3 months which included pillows which your head actually sunk into, bath robes and slippers and a feather duvet! The first night we …

We started our day late and headed out for a food massage in this uber modern mall-type thing. Chinese foot massages (reflexology) are the most unbearably painful, but oddly pleasant experiences - Definitely do this if you have time. We had about an hour of intense foot and back massage (yes... thank you Chuns) before a lunch in the same mall. It …

... won't break the bank. The trouble is that, the things in themselves aren't actually too dear, but for example, a trip on the Singapore flyer is S$30 (15GBP), our accommodation is S$30 each, what does that leave us with ... nothing. But I moan too ...
