Singapore 5, free tour

Since the husband wants to go to Singapore official, although I also have a holiday, we intend to go to Singapore tours together.

First is the issue of visas, checked discovery service more cumbersome than tourist visa, so we have to do a tourist visa, directly to the Consulate General in Shanghai, Singapore, with good standards-compliant 2-inch photograph and identity card, even the form can be filled on the spot on the collar.

A total of 100 yuan/person did.

Then the question is tickets, we do not select a new route, after all, is relatively expensive, in December Saturday by China Eastern Airlines aircraft arrived in Singapore, there is nearly four in the afternoon.

Singapore airport really impress, very humane, feel the warmth, especially before we come in from the cold northern hemisphere.

At the airport for 200 SGD, the day the premium is 19.73, we thought very cheap, the results are wrong, the next day to the little India to change money, maximum is 19.7, so I feel more swap point airport also there's nothing wrong with that after several days of discovery, little India to change money, there are several places to change money, the best is Mustafa Centre near, and large exchange rate is high, SUNTEC (fountain of wealth) and there's good money change.

By the way also change money place to buy Phonecard, S $ 20.

Airport building was full of a tourist brochure, I think many people have mentioned that ignore the non said, immigration, mainly transport, line 4, booked a different hotel, friends live in orchard road (Orchard Road), our first day booked M hotel, so we've split away, my friend call the car went directly to the hotel, it is said that more than ten dollars SGD, we decided to take the subway, looked at the need to go from terminal 1 and 2, the very termimal out, we go out after seeing gonglue did not quite understand, until you make a mistake awoke all went to Singapore flights in addition to the new terminal and a few airlines arrive at terminal 2, all other are in terminal 1, terminal 2 of the Metro in the underground.

First, you need to take only 2 small car shuttle train called skytrain from terminal 1 to terminal 2, anyway, to the train stop to after that, it is the passenger's back and forth. To the terminal 2 departure floor, underground subway metro by 2 points for green thing metro lines to Tanjong pagar, we (Tanjong BA GE), 2 minutes walk to the m hotel, look at the map here is very close to the Harbour, is a very quiet residential area.

We arrived at the hotel has 6 points, minor finishing out to dinner, prior checked with friends recommended daily Hainanese chicken rice at maxwell road, was nearby, so ready to go out for the Singapore features, out of the street that I found this city so small, the map scale is too small to go away for a moment the whole maxwell road, go out, did not find it on the 10th of Hainanese chicken rice, so we went to the intersection of food center, found that the so-called Hainanese Chicken Rice every day is the intersection of food center, booth No. 10, waiting until we find out when they have already sold out, so you can only do in restaurants of other booths to dinner, two people, a total of 15 dollars, and so we eat in this city for several meal, to recognize the many community have a food or food court ceter, specializing in providing meals, basically there mostly Chinese open shop, 2/3 selling food, 1/3 selling juice drink, eat with restaurant, is a staple food, plus a ' trotters ice drinks, in addition to the basic no soup, because it is too hot, usually drink a cup of ice, also straight sweating, drink a few cups of have no toilet.

Fill the belly, we prepare wanderaround, a look at china town is close at hand, then stroll past, is very lively, almost like a temple, it was also in Cantonese opera performances, but are all very familiar objects, such as silk, seals, we see too general, have no special meaning, so go on, go for a while actually to Clarke Quay, more people here, the entire Singapore night streets were very low, estimated to come here, we enjoy a little bounce, they did not dare try, very exciting.

Continue along the bar street, feeling a bit like a new world of the evening, but others this is along the Singapore River, the River was also barge is available after night, the night breeze, feel comfortable. We get tired, in a bar stopped to have a drink, enjoy next to a group of people on the grass, a lot of remote-controlled aircraft. Wines are generally about 40 SGD, the juice is very cheap, at around 5-7 blocks.

10 o'clock we're back to the hotel, you have found Clarke Quay is a treasure, thought ' ll come here for large blocks of gourmet, we call a taxi to the hotel plus the service fee is S $ 4.6, Singapore city taxi is very convenient and cheap.

So the taxi roof has a display, red HIRED somebody, green can stop, and you want to hire a car in the designated place, there are also displayed ON the CALL, it's people, it is stopped.

The next day, breakfast in the hotel, we decided to go to, but because her husband's work, we need to replace the hotel, so we CHECK OUT, CHECK IN Orchard Road of HYATT, hosted the luggage and started a day busy schedule, we took the subway to the CITY HALL, go is ANDREW CATHERRIAL. St. Andrew's Cathedral, visited the Funan electronic Center and found no cheap electronic products, along

A u shaped Saint Andre Street all the way to go in the past, almost several places in the city are finished, just something that the end is the merlion and the big Durian.

Our Asian civilizations Museum spent quite a long time, listen to the presentation of the staff that is rare to come from the mainland tourists visiting museums, most go to Chinatown Pearl Square and SUNTEC shopping, hear us ashamed.

There are more things I remember MM must bring sunscreen, this side of the Sun is really a terrorist, it is said that there has been a relatively cool, Sun also poisonous, so most of the Singapore Street has a gallery of the estimate is also taking into account the problems Sun rain.

At noon we arrived at the little India, ready for India food, did not expect India food menu can't read, or pick up in the tradition of food to eat a little, little India's most shops have no air conditioning everywhere filled with spice taste, I'm not too fond of her husband to go to the temple, the results do not open the door at noon, when it began to rain, white to little India, we would have returned to the hotel, a short finish, ready to go Sentosa.

In the afternoon we took the subway to the HARBOUR FRONT, intends to take the cable car, you can browse the entire port, feel good, tramway in normal and transparent, in fact, common, transparent GUI and first take you to another Hill then wrap around Sentosa, we do not intend to visit there, results white money also wasted time, and finally in 4 points when we arrived at Sentosa, quickly get to see the dolphin show, a bit disappointed, though the Dolphin hard, but stands just so bad, most people are sitting on the beach, almost all head-up, the distance is not near, people and more crowded.

We walk along the beach to the Sky Tower here, very tired, dinner is the Hamburger, night and went to see the underwater world and music fountain, 7 points more than in the field, 7 points is prohibited, so we look at the 8 point 40 of the sensory field, very good, but it feels should be called movies more appropriate point.

Fountain gate was also performing foo, face paint, so Kono. After the conclusion of a free bus ride back to the HARBOUR FRONT, stomach and hungry, here's FOOD CENTER and eats a little, a little, Singapore's toilet is very clean, even such large gears open-air WC, but in FRONT of the HARBOUR is the only one I came across your money and domestic toilets as dirty.

On the whole Sentosa is not particularly funny, usually to leisure well, don't expect too much.

The third day, that day is Monday, her husband began his business, so I followed his colleague's wife walked together, our two is shopping, because the little India really do shopping, we decided to go there again today, we got the feeling of bamboo feet Center, small commodities market than Shanghai, were sold than some cheap rough stuff, 5 minutes we came out, then went to India Temple, also 5 minutes came out, I feel this is other people's sites, which are black India's barefoot in worship, but also on hand to eat.

Also here, we left out, go online to everyone recommended screen up to the market. The supermarket is very large, but the shelves are very crowded, feeling between is a hypermarket, not so good in legend, but drugs such as cheap oil.

At noon we ventured in India were in the restaurant to eat a meal, wait to order, see colorful Curry was not a whim, but to point out a PIZZA, the entire restaurant is a non-India (in addition to the two of us), is a cake, where James Curry eating Curry with 5-6, is packed with small dishes, I think they each want to dip.

We already can't stand the smell, feel India Curry with our usual unacceptable or very different.

Leave a little India, we went to the Sultan's Palace, after the visit, we went to the Arab Street, is close at hand, here the comparability of Muslim India Temple Church clean, specially to Sudan to the church door of a pedestrian street, called BUSSORAH STEET, on either side is selling souvenirs, are very delicate things, we stay there for a long time, purchase a lot of unique things that bring back the results back to the hotel in China, her husband gave me anything, really appreciate, secretly himself went there and bought not things, this is way down the line.

It is agreed that the place is worth visiting, it is strongly recommended, but not at night.

Then we went to suntec and inside Carrefour (the day went to many parts of it).

Carrefour shopping cart is a lock, must vote for a piece of money to unlock, and then run out then lock them back the money. In house taxi called car places also have such a handy device lock pile, you return the car.

In the evening back to the hotel and her husband, we sway to Clarke Quay, there's the "treasures of seafood" eat most famous spicy crab, also points the Satay, spent more than 70 new currency.

Treasures inside the waiter several are from mainland China, to order the Exchange is not a problem. Finished still early, we come back to the hotel is located along Orchard Road, go to pocket a DFS duty-free shops, discover the city of goods not yet the cheap airport, decides to return and buy again.

The fourth day, our two girls started shopping day, went to the edge of the city, Nghe An several shopping mall, not many people in the shops, then listen to the taxi driver said there are foreigners go to shops, locals, many went to suntec this medium type of shop, later we find hyatt Hotel on the edge of the far East shopping centre contains some affordable, this mall is somewhat similar to the following Hong Kong famous people's Square Street, are all private shop, but still there are many beautiful things, including exquisite beautiful India fashion, here emphasize very clean material quality, absolute and little India which dresses, which I also found a bookstore, the vast majority are in English love story, the heap to the roof.

Our shopping results are not so satisfied, discuss it also

Is then to suntec, there are many brands of Shanghai, you can compare, and the price is not too expensive. Especially in summer clothes, buy in Singapore is very expensive, lunch is also solved in suntec, where the name of the restaurant are all familiar with, what Emerald crystal jade, two three-Cup, Ding Tai Fung, however the restaurant is to add 10% service charge and tax, this court than food, one is 3-8 dollars can be solved, a 12-20 bucks.

Fountain of wealth is SUNTEC five building a fountain in the middle.

Not every time the water spray.

Evening and husband touches PA.

We'd love to eat:), staple food and barbecue, Devil-fish and shellfish, such as fresh fruit, SERISE 30 bucks.

The fifth day, the day we left at 5 p.m. on the morning of the aircraft, only my suitcases, took time to visit a down Volkswagen square, colonial white buildings, the lunch we went to yearn for Mandarin Hotel Hainan chicken rice, that you want to say something, if not the first day without eating into the Hainanese chicken rice, rice with the last paragraph we also aren't going to eat, what to say, the entire Singapore tour is so comfortable that the meal to eat people very bad mood.

First food was expensive, a 20-block SGD, plus 10% service charge and 5% of the tax, only a few pieces of chicken with vegetables and waiter recommend eating wings, almost no chicken skin, is a shining white chicken. Think or domestic vibration tripod with delicious chicken. Is such a meal cost US 200 Yuan, do not know the other person's feelings, anyway I think Mandarin unpalatable, it is better in large gears.

Finally we arrived at the airport early, China Eastern Airlines flight was delayed, we are comfortable in duty-free shops in shopping, there are many can brush UnionPay, buying stuff and see if it's still early, free Internet access for local browsing Web pages, actually there is also a massage foot next to the machine, wanted to try it out, the results of the previous few men are wearing socks foot into it, I wore sandals in his socks, to take into account the problems of health, not to try.

Wait until the aircraft, the only experience of the Chinese people, actually a bunch of people playing cards on the plane, noisy.

Back to Pudong airport, o someone jump, said he was arrogant attitude. Alas, not on, had had at once.

Finally there are some small details that we first night live M Hotel one-time toothbrush toothpaste, after live at the Grand Hyatt is lost, there are two hotels, Hyatt's room slippers service has sent a free ice, free bottled water.

In General, Singapore was a very good place.
