48hrs in Singapore

Hi,

A Singaporean nature lover here. Singapore may seem like a concrete jungle,
but there are still some forests and wetlands here. If you're interested,
you're welcome to join us on our regular trekking trips in the nature
reserves.

It was also quite warm in there and in July it should be quite a bit
worse
in that regard..

Singapore is 1 degree north of the equator. July temperatures are about
in
the middle of the annual average, which doesn't vary by more than 4
degrees
from the "coldest" month to the warmest.

:^) So then, the Long Bar won't be any cooler or any warmer than it was
in
a rainy period in October?

Not to mention that I'm glad to hear that there is no more than a 4 degree
temperature change. I've been kind of cringing about my trip next week.
I
can barely stand the heat in that area normally and had thought I'd set
myself up for an even worse time of it.

Singapore's first backpacker's lodge in the HDB heartlands opened a month
ago. I visited the place last week. Come check out my review in the forum.

Most suggestions don't consider the interest of the poster. Is she crazy
over animals? (Zoo), Mad over birds? (Jurong Bird Park), Gourmet looking
for
overpriced tourist food? (Boat Quay).

If one wishes to really know Singapore, go into the heartlands via bus or
MRT. Wander the commercial centres - local shops, market, food courts &
meet
'real' Singaporeans & try out what we eat & enjoy everyday. Maybe you'll
gain a hint of what Singapore is all about.

These are the larger & more vibrant suburbs to visit, easily, via MRT
Bedok
Paya Lebar
Aljunied
Bugis
Clementi
Choa Chu Kang
Hougang
Outram Park
Tampines

Enjoy the 'real' Singapore!

We have 48 hours in Singapore on our way to New Zealand. Can anyone
suggest how we can prioritise what we see and visit. We will be there
end of July and I gather it will be quite warm!
