Singapore was originally a
Malay fishing village, the
British colonialists came in
1819 and the change began.
When you come to
Singapore, maybe by
Singapore Airline, Silk Air
or the budget airline Tiger
Airways and look out from
the aircraft window you
immediately will notice Singapore’s unique
location at the
southernmost tip in south
east Asia. A strategic
important location between
East and West as already the
British colonialists have
known who started developing
the island just as they did with
Penang Malaysia. The island
nation is a
prime trading hub, tourist
destination and many
people, companies and
countries got the message,
they all sent their envoys
to start business. Today
Singapore Hotels probably
are the incoming people
second stop after touching
down at Changi Airport on
your flight to Singapore.
Singapore is also a magnet
for migrant workers from the
Indian subcontinent, China
and southeast Asian
countries such as
Thailand,
Malaysia, Philippines,
Indonesia,
Myanmar
or Burma
etc. They all search for
jobs in Singapore since the
construction boom goes on
since years and the newest
additions are the Singapore
casinos such as the
Singapore Sands and the RWS
Singapore Casino
on Sentosa Island.
Singapore is a place in
Asia where the urban
meets the traditional,
modern architecture
integrates greenery and high
tech merges with age-old
historical cultures. The
Lion City offers plenty of
unique experiences,
shopping, sightseeing,
partying, dining, nightlife,
great Singapore Hotels
and Resorts plus other attractions.
To get around use the
SMRT Singapore, have a
look at
Orchard Road,
the main shopping area the
whole area sceames shopping! your tax refund
will be handed to you at the
Changi Airport when you
leave. If you are on transit
in the night, take a taxi
and get to Mustafa Centre in
Little India. Mustafa Centre
shopping mall is open 24
hours daily and sells
everything including
electronics,
|
|
textiles, jewellery, food, souvenirs etc.. Take a boat ride on the Singapore River, you can board the boats at
Clarke
Quay, enjoy
Little India and Chinatown,
have a trishaw ride and
visit
Singapore Zoo, do a Night
Safari, enjoy the
Singapore Orchid Garden,
the
Jurong
Bird Park and try
the endless array of
restaurants and food courts. Singapore beaches |
|
and a casino is on Sentosa Island. A other Singapore Beach side is at Changi Village with hawker food beer bars and get some fresh seafood and in 2010 Singapore got a new Landmark it's |
Marina Bay Singapore and Sands Casino |
|
|
Marina Bay Singapore
including the Marina Bay
Sands Casino.
In the
nineteen century Singapore
was still a malaria infested
jungle settlement and today
Singapore is considered one
of the top financial and
business powers in Asia.
Lots of people in the
surrounding area consider
the Island State a save
haven and invest and bunker
their money there. Singapore
is well known to be home of
different cultures and
ethnicities, mainly Chinese,
Indian, Malaysian,
Indonesian and plenty of
other from around the globe. Singapore
is a rather very small
country, its modern, its
trendy and a lot of people
make lots of money there. This could change now
since the first casinos
opened and more Singapore
casinos will follow.
Everyone know
|
|
that most people loose in a
casino, only the state via
taxes and the
casino
owners
make the
cash,
but in
any case
visit
Singapore,
its a
great
exotic
Asian
City-State,
try to
find a
great
Singapore
Hotel.
- When you arrive
on your
flight
to
Singapore at
Changi airport,
maybe at
the
Budget
Terminal
Changi
on your
travel.
you will
find a
pleasant
surprise,
Changi
airport
is very
well
organized
that
includes
the
budget
terminal
for the
Budget
Airlines.
One of
this
budget
airlines
is Tiger
Airways,
they
have by
far the
best
flight
rates to
Singapore,
but they
are very
strict,
even if
there is
the
|

|
smallest
problem,
lets say
your passport don't have the officially required totally blank pages (on travel to Thailand) etc. they will refuse check in and your ticked is gone, among
other. They don't know that nobody in the relevant countries around really care about such things as long as there is enough space for the in and out stamp. People who go by the book in south east Asian countries will always create problems and the passenger finally has the real problem.

In the arrival halls are Singapore Banks to change money. Changing money downtown at the money changer give you a better rate, if you use a
ATM card (there are several
ATM in the arrival hall)
calculated how much money you
will need since the ATM
charges are not so low.
Airport to city transport is at best by the SMRT Singapore, there is a MRT Singapore Station at the basement of terminal 3, more on SMRT below. |

After going through
custom at Singapore Changi
airport and you don't have a
Singapore hotel
booking yet,
use the hotel
booking counter at
the arrival hall,
they |
Changi Airport
Singapore Marriott
Hote at Orchard Road |
have hotels in every
price range all the
way down to about S$
45,- for a night.
Singapore is known
for
great hotels but most
are quite expensive relative
to other countries in the
region. In particular the
hotels at |
|
Orchard Road.
Orchard Road is the
main shopping mile
in the city. |
SMRT Singapore at
Changi Airport

Aljunied Station |
After use the SMRT Singapore to move further. The
ticket system of the MRT Singapore is
not on a good level,
very often the ticket
machines are not working,
its very similar to
Kuala
Lumpur, there most of the
ticket |
|
machines
at the
underground wont work at all.
Anyway, take the MRT
Singapore, its still
the most efficient
and fastest
Singapore
transportation and
run because they
never wait,
even at the most obvious
situation, they just dont
care about the
passenger. Even run and
don't look when you spot some
of this pretty Singapore
girls, they come in all
shades from very white
complexion to very dark, but
this wont matter, most are pretty regardless of
the complexion. Singapore
girls have mainly a Chinese
ethnic background, but there
are plenty of Asian girls from
Malaysia, Indonesia,
Philippines,
Thailand Girls,
girls from Europe and in the
last few years girls from
Russia and the countries of
the former Soviet Union
found their way to
Singapore. |
Once you settled maybe in
a Singapore hotel at Orchard
Road and have a look
around you will see almost more
Ferrari, Lamborghini and
Porsche as in Monaco,
a clear indication
where the money is. But keep
in mind there are no cheap
hotels at orchard road or
vicinity, that's a myth. A cosmopolitan state
attracting plenty of
tourists every year aside of
the fact that prices are
real high relative to the
other countries in the
region. Singapore managed to
get a good reputation as
being a safe country with
lots of green around,
maintaining the image as a
garden city of the East
somehow similar as Rangoon
or today
Yangon was built by the British.
Singapore is a real great
tropical city by any means,
only sometimes the
authorities are overdoing
it, they are very tough if
something wont go the way
they want to have it go.
This Singapore garden
idea
has positive sides in
particular when comparing
the city to other chaotic
places in south east Asia
such as Manila and Jakarta.
Bangkok is somehow in
between and the Thai are
making real progress unless
the red and yellow shirt
groups wouldn't fight and
protest, creating almost
anarchy and
|
Singapore
Orchid |
ruining
the
country
for the
ego of
some
politicians.
The
culmination
of the
Singapore
garden
idea is
the
Singapore
Orchid
Garden,
more
about
all
orchids.
Singapore
has a
strong
economic
system
greased
by the
money of
the rich
people
in the
countries
|
|
around the island state who
are moving their cash into
Singaporean banks known as a
safe haven. A lavish
Singaporean lifestyles often
copied from London, Paris
and New York attracts luxury
tourists into luxury hotels
and resorts.
-
There is a other side of
Singapore, this is Singapore
culture and art.
Buddhism in
Singapore is the main
local religion
Singapore Antiques at Tanglin Shopping Mall |
depicted in many Singapore antiques, in particular in the Tanglin Shopping center, one of the prime antique Buddhist art shopping complex in Asia. Many antique artifacts which disappeared in Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar |
|
miraculous appeared in antique shops in Singapore.
A good blend of European and
Asian cultures makes
Singapore a excellent choice
for overseas companies
to put their regional
operation offices there.
Skyscrapers, clean and
attractive parks, a ban on
chewing gum and other
strange things add exotic
flavor, Singapore is a
expensive country in
relation to the other states
around, but with a little
information it is easily
possible to keep Singapore
vacation and travel
costs at bay.
Orchard shopping
is just made for you
the area also contains
myriads
of pubs, and restaurants of
local style, means food
courts and nicely decorated
bars but be aware they are
merciless capitalistic, if
you don’t order enough they
tell you get lost. Which
happen to me at the pub
pictured right. A similar
experience I got was when I
stayed at the Swissotel Stamford, since I
didn't order immediately
something at their lobby bar
after I sat
Singapore Night |
|
|
down the
waitress
told me I should get lost,
since the Swissotel only
wants
people
who buy
something,
before
this it
was the
Westin
hotel,
never
had a
similar
problem
with
them.
This

enough, they only
are addicted to cash now,
all other is no good for
them, its really disgusting
to experience such mega
greed beyond any human
behavior.
Keep this in mind when you
book a Singapore hotel next
time, not with Swissotel
since they only consider you
as a cash cow and give you a
real hard time!
A top notch hotel
is the
Marina Bay Sands
(picture right) the newest
Singapore attraction, that's
a hotel plus casino. Prices
are starting at S$ 399,- up
to about S$ 12.000,- for the
best suite, but they have no
Jacuzzis, western in the
normal rooms nor in the
suites.
A simple example concerning
a Singapore hotel,
around
Orchard Road, the main
shopping mile in Singapore
no hotels are available
below around S$ 150,-
but if you choose a hotel
lets say around Aljunied SMRT
train
station its
about S$ 50,- and
the only difference
is that the hotel
rooms are a little
bit smaller and have
no bath tub, just
shower.
Aljunied
is about half way between
the Singapore airport and
down town Orchard Road.
A typical hotel there
(actually there are many
modern Singapore hotels in
this area) is the 81 star
hotel, if you book this
Singapore hotel at the
airport hotel booking its S$
45,- per night.
- There are myriads
of restaurants, bars and
food courts
around everywhere in
the Orchard road
area and elsewhere
in
Singapore, the more
expensive Singapore
restaurants usually
are in a Singapore
hotel. On your Singapore
trip you will
experience a great
bar and Singapore
lounge here and
there plus exotic food.
Now a Singapore
casino opened
and another casino
in Singapore is
coming, check your
wallet!
It seems like
Singapore has the
highest density of
restaurants and food
courts in Asia,
virtually at every
street corner a
other eatery is
offering some exotic
food. The good news
is you can eat the
stuff from this
street restaurants
and not running 2
days to the toilet
afterwards as it is
with most street
food in
Thailand,
Philippines,
Indonesia etc., it
might be the water
they use for cooking
and cleaning, in
Singapore its
clean.
There are
different varieties
of
Singapore food such as
various
Chinese,
Malay, Thai,
Japanese, a dozen of
Europe verities,
Arab food and even
Russian, Mongolian,
Myanmar and so on.
You could eat
through this
multi-cuisines for a
whole year and try a
different one every
day. Also all this
fusion food, fast
food, burger etc. is
available, in
Singapore a
permanent food feast
is on.
- Some Singapore
nightlife.
In the Aljunied area
you even get a extra
bonus, I don’t know
if you like it but
this is one of the
areas in Singapore
where the naughty girls
hang around. But
no problems, nobody
will ever bothering
you if you wont do
the start, its not
like
Bangkok
nightlife
or
Phuket nightlife where
they run after you,
on the other hand
its no as vibrant
and spicy as
Thailand nightlife.
