No Sling in Singapore
This is a top pick! ... been recommended to me, feeling very hot, tired and dirty, but glad to just have my feet up. Overall I was a little disappointed by Singapore. It was just a big expensive city. I did have a wander around, taking a boat tour on the river, looking at the ...
The Singapore Zoo... at last
This is a top pick! ... The day started in a promising way, with our favourite buffet breakfast. It has become something of a family tradition when visiting Singapore to stay at the Swissotel Merchant Court and gorge ourselves on the buffet. This time was no exception. We noted ...

This is a top pick! ... morning we are once again up at 6.30am (yes Leanne another day with 2 x 6.30's) as we have to catch the train to Singapore at 8.30am. I didn't sleep much last night there was lots of noise and it felt like I had just closed my eyes, got comfortable and ...
Pampered in the Singapore airport
This is a top pick! ... so we can catch anything else we won't have time to see today. In the city - not the airport! I guess the description of Singapore as "Asia-light" seems to be accurate so far. Now that we're off I keep thinking I forgot something but I guess it's ...
Kathmandu & Singapore - Day 53
This is a top pick! ... today, flying to Singapore at 1pm and then have 12 hour wait for a flight to Phuket the following morning. Arrived in Singapore on time even though the flight was delayed by an hour in Kathmandu. Singapore airport is great, I'm like an excited ...
On the road again part II
This is a top pick! ... have done every January for the past several years, this time it included getting on a plane and making the 20 hour trek back to Singapore. I don't know if my journeys will truly be over at the end of this month or if my trip will be extended..either way ...
Singapore is fine
This is a top pick! ... seeing some great architecture before arriving at Clarke Quay, a beautiful little area with bars and restaurants. We popped into the Singapore History Museum to learn a little of the culture and saw a great 3d movie of how Singapore became occupied by ...
Jakarta & Singapore - Day 188
This is a top pick! ... time unfortunately. So many things to see and so little time. The story of my travels! Arrived in the oasis which is Singapore airport around 9pm, it's the best airport in the world in my opinion. The facilities are amazing, shops, free internet, good ...
Day 158

Singapore Sling
This is a top pick! ... up being amazed and having an awesome time. That evening we went to The (very famous) Long Bar at Raffles Hotel and had a singapore sling - they were lovely. As we walked in we notices that all over the floor were monkey nut shells literally covering the ...
Back through Singapore
This is a top pick! Just filling in for the map... I may be doing this for pride, or possibly boredom (the map antry thing). Anyway, when I think of Singapore now I think hot and humid. I remember the noodle stand outdoor food courts, the malls, Bread Talk, the pork ads (I ...
Back in the Garden City Part II
This is a top pick! ... a month and they were gracious to say the least. So we headed down to the waterfront and lunched on pepper crabs (a Singapore signature dish) and some interesting desserts (the prime word here being interesting). I was brave and tasted them. I have ...
Sanitary Singapore
This is a top pick! ... of it, even 20 years ago I wasn't that stupid. Crazy, maybe, but much too paranoid to try anything like that. Singapore itself is like a futuristic world. Everything is in it's place, labelled, and directed. One good example is the underground ...
Up Close and Personal with Orang-Utans
This is a top pick! We seriously struggled when the alarm went off at 7, and our last Borneo breakfast was eaten in a grumpy silence – it is unbelievable how terrible the 4 of us are in the mornings! Once in the taxi heading for the 9am feeding in Semengog Orang-utan ...

Last stop: Singapore!
This is a top pick! ... in Cusco, Peru, but we got lucky when we arrived in Singapore and discovered we would end the trip with yet another celebration! Singapore gets a rather bad rap from most budget travellers, who complain its a bit too much like the west. In fact, I ...
The Sling
This is a top pick! ... with Shannon, Louis, and Luke, where we spent a good hour or so cracking nuts out of shells and elegantly supping on a 'Singapore Sling', a cocktail as famous as the establishment in which it's served. At $18 you know about it, but the experience ...
Near Disaster at Airport Transfer
This is a top pick! Sitting here now in seat 26A, being thrown around by the ferocious weather over the Indonesian islands, it is yet another poignant moment in our trip around the globe. This morning we said goodbye to Char and G after a great 3 week trip to Borneo, but on ...
Singing in the Singapore

This is a top pick! ... her full appetite back - somebody warn New Zealand!! We decided to use the MRT (subway/underground) to get to Orchard Road. The Singapore MRT is so clean, efficient and well set out...oh, and cheap....London has got so much to learn!! Orchard Road is ...
Can't Be Bothered To See Anything
This is a top pick! After last nights excess I was feeling the strain this morning and took the option of staying in bed as long as I possibly could. At 11 we set out to find some dirty food to ease our hangovers. Strange that you always crave the worst foods after a big ...
Still in Singapore
This is a top pick! ... get up early to catch my bus back up to KL. It was sad saying farewell to everyone, but I really had a fantastic time in Singapore. After the fastest border crossing known to man, I was back up in KL and awaiting my flight the following ...
Singapore
This is a top pick! ... 2 generations. The government was instrumental in bringing this about, ensuring stability and order and attracting investments, thus transforming Singapore into the busiest port in the world and a major business hub. That sounds nice, but the emphasis on ...
The end of the Asia Adventure
This is a top pick! ... and easy to use. Also very quick and reliable service - if only England had the same. The whole place seems very clean - Singapore doesn't sell chewing gum, and you are not allowed to eat or drink whilst walking down the street. A rule that we kept ...
Botanic Gardens
This is a top pick! After applying for our visas at the Thai embassy on Orchard Road, we walked over to the Botanic Gardens. It was hot, but the park had a nice breeze and was well manicured. However, the park also included an Evolution Garden, which had the ...
Singapore Slinging It
This is a top pick! ... to the Malaysian village for some entertainment. I have to admit, this is something I was looking forward to since I got to Singapore. Apparently every Saturday night they host a traditional Malay dance called Kuda Kepang. It was about a two hour show and ...

Singapore City?
This is a top pick! ... transit looks like first generation Hong Kong rolling stock. Very plain and simple. We are staying in the Chinatown section of Singapore and it's very active, especially at night. The downside is that the rooms in the hotels are very small. Our room ...
A day at Sentosa
This is a top pick! ... 8am to go to Sentosa Island and packing up our stuff while they tried to sleep in. Sentosa Island is at the Southern tip of Singapore, a four minute train ride away from our hostel. You can catch a bus, taxi, ferry or walk across the causeway but we ...
