Hotels in Singapore - Prices and Reviews

Okay not a great deal of time for a big entry today as the cafe is shutting shortly... Today we went in for the morning, the usual clinic and endoscopy stuff. It was a half day though and we were due to go to Singapore so we took the train across the border. The border passport checks took considerably longer than the journey itself, with Singap...

Well, I'm actually posting this...jeez, 6 months late! I really let the time get away from me! I don't really have much to say about it anymore. Mainly I just want to share the photos. Well, let's see... Dane's brother, Derek, wanted to come for another visit. But he had already visited us in Thailand last year, so this year he wanted to go some...

So I had heard that Sentosa Island was quite touristy, but upon arrival it was confirmed. While it was a lovely "express" ride over to the island, besides the enormous construction activities, the first minutes confirmed the Disneyland like characteristics. It was laid out very much like a theme park with the maps, attractions, and entertainment...

I'm starting to realize just how much time this blog thing can take out of the day so I won't be posting much very often - too much else to do besides sit indoors on a computer!! There will be lots more pictures and stories to share when we get home. We are back in Singapore for the weekend, getting ready to leave for Sri Lanka in the morning. W...

Ok, not really. I went to the Disneyland part yesterday - Sentosa island. Yes, that's right, a resort island on the south of this already resort-ish island state. Sentosa is cool, if you like engineered beaches and looking off into a coast full of tankers. I suppose I was being harsh the other day, this place isn't all bad. The south side is pre...

We arrived in Singapore in the evening and got a train into town for only S$1.5 (50pence - yes please). On the walk to our accommodation we bumped into a night market, our first real taste of SE Asia. The hostel turned out to be on the 4th floor of a catholic welfare centre building. We dumped our stuff and headed back to the Bugis Night Market ...

Arrival in Singapore just past midnight. Bushed after 24 hours in transit from Newark, and more counting our ride on the train to the EWR airport. Walking off the plane, I got a blast of heat and that subtle hint of mildew that seems to live everywhere in the tropics. I was back! With our seats up front and carry-on luggage we were out of Custom...

The last few days at Bangkok were pretty hectic, lots of good byes as Claire and Rich plus a few others are all going home or moving on to new places! But the good news is that i have arrived in Singapore safe and sound! Another good flight with Singapore Airlines- lots of food and i got the emergency seat so loads of leg space- shame it was onl...

To Barnaby Bear and Year One Hi guys. Well this is my last e-mail from Asia. We leave for Sydney, Australia on the 14th of August. Our last country is Singapore. Singapore is an island and it is a very small country. People who live in Singapore are known as Singaporeans and the main languages spoken here are English and Chinese. Nearly everyone...

On day 3, we left Hong Kong after having breakfast with my uncle at this Dim Sum restaurant. The flight to Singapore was smooth but as soon as we landed, we could feel the hot and humid heat blowing at our face. It was very uncomfortable, so we quickly left the airport and head straight for the hotel. The tram was ultra modern and convenient exc...
