I can see Singapore

I can see Singapore

Last summer, my daughter from China to Singapore for a tour in Xiamen, feeling quite dark, features this note to share with you.

Here's why: what is a foreign aircraft, my daughter to see everywhere is yellow skin and black hair fellow, not only speak Mandarin, also speak the Taiwanese dialect we know, the five-year-old daughter could not understand here is foreign.

What is an "aunt di": begin when I plan sightseeing from mainland China's small aunt recommended by fast money "aunt di", what is the "aunt di", laments his white read so many years of English didn't even elementary school graduate from small Lady chafer in English could not understand, then straight "aunt di" is "MRT" — the subway of the initials of the homonym, this is the early Chinese to this on the "MRT" crooner, still in use.

Visitors to tour: traveling, my aunt volunteered to play the tour guide, I am pleased to visit you, but go out from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., made several trips to the "aunt's brother," and still not find North, I realize the seriousness of the problem is that when I Rushton.

Ran several letters home, finally buy a Singapore Atlas, found in Singapore travel fast way: that is, the bus ride to the nearest "MRT" station, then take the subway to the closest to the destination of the station, then bus to your destination. From that moment, my aunt is every day with my tour attractions, also has several Apple cited, it seems I also road can be mixed in Singapore a few days. Parting, I put the map detail in Chinese identifies good for my small aunt and prevent future home one to talk to her at breakneck speed. (Later I didn't know came out from the airport is free of Singapore maps)

Singapore subway: learn to ride the Metro Singapore, you can save a lot of the traffic in Singapore tour.

You can purchase any MRT station is 10 Yuan more than travel card SGD (having to produce documents may recharge), the card can bus, subway, convenient.

Singapore Metro Division West (WEST, W1, W2, etc), East (EAST, E1, E2, etc.) and the Northern line (NORTH, N1, N2), you do not understand English station name doesn't matter, just remember sitting to W2 or E2 station.

Select the direction of the subway, you can see the label plates, if brand mark you arrive station name is marked in bold black letters, you just sit in the right direction, if you want to reach the station name is used for shallow words dilute mark, do you want to party to sit on. To go a different route by car, you're converting station (one way), C1 (CITY HALL) and C2 (RAFFLES PLACE). Every afternoon 18 – 20 points are white-collar workers home from work, you must avoid the rush. In the city centre, only a few limited taxi point, in the rush to queuing for a long time to take a taxi. If you were in a taxi, a more preferable, if people rarely, use of the subway. To the various tourist attractions may refer to the following table:

Destination off the subway station and take the BUS

MAGIX W3: TONG BAHRU green tourist BUS

Haw Par Villa BUONA200BUS W7:

Chinese garden, Japan gardens W10: CHINESE GARDEN walk

BirdPark W12: BOONLAY194BUS

Zoo N16: WOODLANDS169BUS

Orchard Road N3: ORCHARD walk

70 floors building C2: CITY HALL walk

Singapore immigration E2: LAVENDER walking

Even the toilet also queued: perhaps influenced by Western influences, Singapore is consciously queued everywhere, even the toilet was no exception, at home, if toilet overcrowding, if you manage to be next to the small door, toilet smell smelly butter waiting, you never want to finish your glorious mission, in Singapore in the bathroom waiting in line at the start line, where there is a free, top first which can be entered, no one and you get.

In fact, Singapore regardless of the airport, in the Bank, in immigration, etc. need to queue, are like Western societies and not every Windows are queued, but only as a team, then an empty out of the window. Now, we here at the Bank has implemented this way, but not elsewhere.

"Good GUI": just off the plane, take a taxi to the residence, an ask money 15 Yuan RMB, reckon about u.s. $ 100, startled, but from this each buy something, a calculation into RMB to buy, who told us to earn not dollars.

Calculate the cheapest buy food, even higher than domestic bought also cheap.

Huai Zhui thousand SGD 70 floors: heard in the CITYHALL there's a 70s Singapore highest floor revolving restaurant, it is estimated that there is a certain price for dinner, we cherish zhui thousand SGD with daughter looks like, I didn't expect to pay the Bill, the daughter was not old enough to free meals, paid only $ 22, psychological subtly funny SGD, but there's a buffet available for my daughter left a deep impression.

You will be supplied with fine: take the subway a visit on the way, my daughter sitting in the car, eat East side scenery, a pair of relish, suddenly I found the car with no food, no drink, jump.

When you only hear about in to Singapore anywhere spit or smoking would be fine, but then realized that a lot of places to drink, eat or just across the road.

Civilization of drivers: as long as Zebra, drivers have to wait for pedestrian only after you finish the road opened in the past, we see those "disenchantment" car impacting other bile warfare, but the driver has been signed to you first.

Taxi drivers carry local districts in detail, in the event the guests requirements to destinations not familiar with can access at any time.

Captivating picture of MAGIX Island: Singapore's most fascinating is the MAGIX Island, away from the cableways, sat ferry

, By car crossing the bridge, a quantity into the scenic spot, you take the island no matter what form of transport is free of charge. There are images of wax as a Museum, a beautiful Butterfly Pavilion, a mysterious fish tail like a lion's head; the most fascinating is the musical fountain, and during the day and night, night also tie Singapore lion head fish tales and lighting match, more is to let you were fascinated. There is also a Monorail trains around the whole island, let you enjoy the scenery of the island. But don't take their children to go to the "Asian village" playground surface, there is a $ 3 per item, but no SGD fancy.

Worth a go "Singapore Zoo" and "Bird Park": before entering garden tour to see animals show time in order to arrange the entire trip, be sure not to miss, but very nice.

The Park offers the best of the transport, or you want to use to complete your tour or feel very tired. In the Park, see polar bears, penguins, zebras, hippos, crocodiles and other usual rare to see animals.

Not to the Chinese taste is too strong: If "the Chinese garden," "Haw" and "China town", these have to do to foreigners, white flower ticket fee.

Everywhere there are convenient dispenser: learn to use the vending machine, you can easily buy cheap drinks such as Coca-Cola, and so on.

McDonald's and KFC: here the food and the domestic prices, a McDonald's normal Hamburg just 0.8 SGD, KFC chicken nuggets more than domestic unpalatable.

Shopping facilities: If asked shopping, sure many people will tell you to "Orchard Road", but I think "Orchard Road" as "ngee Ann city" and the upscale merchandise store selling, not our fathers brought forth can bear, and recommended that each "MRT" great shape near the station of shopping.

Go to Malaysia: participate in Singapore's local mission to Malaysia Genting, did not think there is a whole car, original Singapore each weekend going to Genting relax or candu, students in three major holiday period are to Genting Recreation Center.

The Recreation Center has many exciting projects, buy ticket adults only need 20 Ma BI (equivalent to USD $ 40), children just 15 Yuan Ma bi. Go to Malaysia's visa to early 3-day or so delegates intermediaries for one person costs 100 SGD, and 3 day 2 night tour Genting, Kuala Lumpur, Melaka mission only 80 SGD.

Go to the previous year, Singapore, didn't bring in the summer, and autumn in Singapore is very difficult to buy into the autumn season, in Malaysia Genting to freezing.
