Hotels in Singapore - Prices and Reviews

Taxi was supposed to pick us up at 6am. Bad start for somebody who loves to be on time to have to wait. I know we are only 10 minutes from the airport, but I hate waiting. Of course we made it on time,and of course the plane was late, but you never know. Christhcurch was beautiful, lots of snow and sun on the mountins. There was a front coming u...

The Singapore border was a bit different to all the rest! The bus dropped us off, went through and waited for us on the other side. We had heard about Singapore's rules and regulations, they have only recently dropped chewing gum as a law!! Their border was pretty strict too, it was as though we were boarding a plane, all our luggage was scanne...

Well its our last day. Don has taken the boys back to Sentosa Island to burn some more $$$ and I went to Orchard Rd to see if I could summon up some enthusiasm for shopping. Now I am not into shopping at the best of times so I didn't think Singapore would be very interesting, and apart from Sentosa Island (and even that had limited appeal) I cou...

I went one more time to visit the city: temple indoist, Buddhist and then in the evening the Opera for the first time of my life. I must say that even if people were saying that it was not as good as in Europe, I found the Opera terrific and quite impressive to hear the powerful voice. When I arrived my friend were on a project and I gave them a...

Caught a not so luxourious bus from Melaka to Singapore and arrived in the pouring rain! On the way we had to get off the bus twice to clear customs out of Malaysia and then with all our belongings to enter Singapore. We had no Singapore dollars so had to get a cab to take us to a bank. The cabbie was v friendly and very knowledegable about Engl...

The conference went well today. Besides reports from different countries we went through translation and printing policies, financing, divided up the countries finally under the 2 Regional Coordinators - just have Singapore to get the elders to decide as the RD wants to be under Dave but it would be better to have him under Rajeev and his team.

Yesterday we left the "little India" part of Singapore which is the main backpacker area I think because that seems to be where all the cheap hostels are. We were planning on going to stay in China town but after a quick look in the lonely planet guide realised everything seemed a bit out of our price range so found a YMCA hostel near the main s...

Well, carrying on with our plan, Dawn dropped us off at the airport, and we said goodbye's and as many thank-you's as we could fit in - we couldn't have said enough - before rushing our baggage and selves in through the International Departure doors. Although we were incredibly excited to be heading home again, it was hard to believe it was all ...

Singapore Singapore cannot be compared to any city that we have visited thus far in Asia. It is meticulously clean, modern and devoid of poverty. We had been told that it lacked the culture of other places, which perhaps is true, but it does not lack character. It is billed as Southeast Asia's most important seaport, financial center and manufac...

Helaas moet Steve vandaag werken (voor een Nederlandse bedrijf!), dus ik neem al om 5 uur vanochtend afscheid van hem. Na nog een paar uurtjes slapen, sta ik ook op. Ik kom vandaag langzaam op gang en niet lang na het ontbijt gaan we naar het vliegveld om de terugreis naar Nederland te beginnen. Nicki en de kids brengen me naar het vliegveld en ...
