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 "Aly" wrote in message om... 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. Aly |

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. Scott. |

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. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

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.
