Hotels in Singapore - Prices and Reviews

Yesterday was a bittersweet day as I said goodbye to my Asia travel buddies Alex and Amanda as they headed off back to the shores of England. After they left we basically sat in 2 cafes away from the sweltering heat and did pretty much nothing for hours before having some Thai food in the evening. Interesting story though, a Filipino Baptist at ...

So Singapore was the last stop of our Asia tour and we were excited about our next continent, we were flying out in a couple of days but we had a few things to do before we flew off. Our short trip from Kuala Lumpur only took 5 hours, which is nothing compared to our usual long haul and uncomfortable rides we've endured so far in Asia, immigrati...

So day two i thought i had pretty much mastered the transport system.. well unfortunately i hadn't because like day one i spent the morning getting lost. This time i ended up way out of town in a place surrounded by condominiums. luckly the bus driver pointd me in the right direction to the bus i was meant to catch. i really need to learn to rea...

There I was at five a.m. searching through my bags and pockets for just a few more dollars. The taxi fee to the airport was supposed to be about $18 and I had $14 left. I had all but given up when I came across my old sunglasses bag (sunglasses that I lost only a few hours after buying them in Langkawi) which happened to be full of Singapore dol...

Contrary to many beliefs, yes I do work... sometimes. But as a JET I just couldn't pass the 3 day week at the end of September by without going somewhere. A 3 day week means only 3 days of nenkyu (paid leave) have to be taken in order to have quite a lengthy holiday experience. So, I hoped on a plane with fellow JET Rachel Beck, and took off to ...

Hi all, We packed our stuff only last night (Roxy's fault) and couldn't fall asleep until around midnight. We woke up many times last night due to the excitement and had to get out of the bed by 6am. Thanks to Denisa and Andrew who gave us a lift to Jolimont Tourist center Sunday morning. I was surprised that Denisa was capable of doing such a g...

Jeannie here. We arrived in the evening, dropped our bags at the hotel and made our way to the annual Thaipusam festival in Little India. In order to offer a prayer for something desired, the devout Hindus pierce their cheeks with metal spikes and attach huge platforms covered in decorations to their bodies with pinchers. Some wore limes from th...

Had a nice conversation with a staff member at the subway station in Singapore while waiting for P and H. He told me about travelling in Indonesia and Australia, how he'd always wanted to go to Europe but thought that crossing all the borders would be too hard, and showed real enthusiasm for that American getting caned in Singapore. Also went to...

Well I've been in Singapore a couple of days now, and there's not too much exciting to report. I've really enjoyed it though which has surprised me, as I had a stopover here about 6 years ago and thought it was an extremely dull place. Had an explore around Little India and Chinatown which are both interesting areas with great food. Also went on...

Arrived in Singapore today after leaving wherever it was we were staying in Malaysia. Never did find out where it was. Already it seems like were a whole world away from Malaysia and Thailand. It reminds me of Japan more than anywhere else I've been. Everywhere is so clean and it seems like everyones so well behaved. There's posters everywhere t...
