Singapore

Three days is more than enough.
The main activity for locals seems to be shopping.

Worth a visit:
Sentosa Island
Botanic gardens
Zoo
Bird Park
Duck Harbour Cruise
Asian History Museum (2 campuses)
Bugis Street

Shopping is not particularly cheap, neither are food and drink (from an
Australian perspective- probably different if you're coming from Europe).


Cheers

I am traveling through Singapore, with three friends in December and
shall be there for 10 days I was wondering if anyone could advise us
on good places to visit and go to during our stay.

A better way to describe the price of food would probably be "variable".

Whilst it's easy to spend $40-50 or more on a meal, it's also just as
easy to spend $4-5 (or less) on a good feed in one of the numerous hawker
venues around the place. If you get away from the busy areas it's even
possible to pay as little as $2-3 for a damn good meal.

I'm sure I've never spent more than S$5 on a meal there, and often much
less. By US standards that's quite cheap (S$5 = US$2.90). And I've never had
a bad meal in Singapore. Best breakfast in the history of the world is roti
pratha for S$0.70 (US$0.40) at the hawkers centre in Little India. So good
it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. So good I'd give up almost
all other foods just to be able to eat it every day.

Yes, especially while you are watching whippings of Bukit Street.

No, that's the 2nd best breakfast in the history of the world. The best is
the stall next door selling curried mutton with pratha. Mutton hits the
button, we like to say. And my mouth really is watering.
