Singapore highlights & moderate hotels
Hello everyone, We will be taking a stop over in Sinapore for 3
nights (2 full days) We are wondering what anyone can tell us about the highlights. We would like to be spending about $75. -$100 Canadian per night, a little more or less is okay too. (I think very close to the Singaporean currency) Anyone's opions on what to do and see will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Coco |

Trip on the river, night zoo, walk around some of the "cultural" streets,
such as Serangoon Road, check out the colonial buildings, Changi prison. Sentosa is worth a look but you need a full day. With only 3 days there I'd visit other things before Sentosa. Eat at some of the food courts - they're clean, cheap and the food is great. Don't eat at the tourist places like Clark Quay - rip off with bland food. "coco" wrote in message om...

Check in at Hotel 1929 right in Chinatown's Keong Saik Road for a most
unique experience of "Old Singapore". Prowl the roads in the area to understand Singapore better. All pretty safe, yet exciting. "Viviane" wrote in message u...

Hi!
I was in Singapore around a year ago and really enjoyed it. Maybe because it was the first place I travelled to in years but still, I thought it had a great atmosphere! I would echo the comments above about eating at the food courts, really good value and great tasting food. Yeah the night zoo is another option, but I would recomend the Jurong Bird Park over that. Some really funky birds to see there including a fat blue one that makes weird noises and tries to headbutt your feet! As for accomodation, I really liked the new Seventh Story Hotel, I think it was on or near Beach Road, it is mentioned in the LP and/or RG I am pretty sure. Don't forget to haggle! The people who work there are very friendly and helpful! The Trip to Sentosa is nice too, you can go over to the island on a cable car which is cool and you get a nice view of the area! My Website has pictures of my time in Singapore (a few) and of the other places in SE Asia that I visited on the trip if you want to check it out: http://www.daveonhols.co.uk/singapore.htm Hope you have fun!

If you ever have the chance to witness the singaporians handling food (VERY VERY filthy) you too will fall ill. |

They just might whip you up on Bukit Street. This very chap is the village idiot. |
