1. Singapore life first experience: four seasons hotel and Ferris wheel

Cars into Singapore, broad, tree-lined roads, looked very patchy flats of uniform.

According to driver, all Singapore citizen as long as the family monthly income of not more than 8000 new currency will be eligible to buy flats, property prices for 99 years, relative to the income levels of Singapore is very low. Singapore solve housing experience is worth learning for the Chinese Government, many of the city's affordable housing are examples. Vehicle after a Changi urban, I was very familiar place. Nine years ago when I was in Singapore for learning to live here.

The last time it was my first trip to Singapore remember is in 1997, 6, 7 months, in Singapore for three weeks, live in Changi Meridien Beach, not far from Singapore airport.

Remember that hotel on the edge of a military base. Overall feeling Singapore is a beautiful, prosperous and abnormal focus on order of the city. Then, just went through the forest fires in Indonesia, the island has been filled with over a thick smoke and fire embers of stifling smell, TV is even article redundant reports progress in fighting forest fires, brake is tense atmosphere. The morning's top priority is to open TV watching today's dust index to determine the day of the tour. Thanks to God for help, some heavy rain, coupled with the full support of States, a succession of forest fires has finally been put out. The cause of the fire is said to be the "Indonesian traditional locals burn Alba", that is, we often say "burning ground", didn't expect to Indonesia and neighboring countries have so much trouble.

1: 30 am, arrived at four seasons hotel, smooth for a check-in procedure.

Door stops many police motorcycle, it looks like there are government officials, and later in the hotel activity is Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong known in this business.

This is a very luxurious hotel, Hotel looks and lobby and inconspicuous.

Access to rooms, spacious and comfortable, with a noble and elegant, just like the flower fragrance bursts of coming out. Room layout shows the true luxury, with Oriental elegance and grandeur of the West. Sitting in a room, I was feeling very physical and mental relaxation, honey, of course, the cost is quite expensive.

The waterwheel is now not see, has long been motor driven more convenient and efficient devices instead. We filed into the Ferris wheel cylinder inside, along with the rotation of the wheels, slow up on air. Each cylinder can accommodate more than 20 people, special hydraulic mechanical device can ensure the cylinder bottom always at the State level, regardless of the angle of the wheels go. Farther away from the ground, it was hanging in the air, four are transparent, you can view tongche Lion City of beautiful scenery. To the South is at the top of the beauty of the Bay, to the North at this bustling city, appearing, skyscraper, around the high-rise buildings of the viaduct, the car fast Shuttle, Singapore is a bustling city is a busy city. Stations in in-flight, overlooking the feeling of the Earth, in the busy work of times feel relaxed.

9 October, old couples visiting Mr. CAI, accompanying us on a tour of the Singapore featured Humanities communities and attractions.

The couple are in Singapore-born second generation Chinese, experience the life of Singapore, on the city with great affection, but also by the influence of Chinese culture. With their hospitality guidelines, we will only be possible in a half day of time exploring in depth a Singapore the most humane characteristics of wealth to the two areas, one is a Chinatown, a little India.

Chinatown is Singapore's Chinatown, many uprooted from southern China to Southeast Asia to earn a living in this Chinese ancestor was originally settled that river bank shops do handling, done coolie to maintain their livelihood.

Chinatown is quite a mouthful of a place name, its origin is said to be the local water to be Singapore came by. Development today, here is the high-rises, commercialization prosperous area around it is to become the central business district of Singapore.

(Opposite Singapore Pearl a building)

To Chinatown, Singapore is at noon, the midday sun violent and dazzling.

Singapore's climate is very hot, particularly its temperature in Hainan Island, not strange local Aboriginal people of colour are too dark. Walking in summer Street, obviously you can feel the upheavals of gales of heat waves.

Here's the residents are dense, bustling, Mart, streets, shops, full of traffic.

We got a call "People Park", Chinese name is Pearl Center, and English meaning is a bit different. Pearl Center like shopping centerBut not only is the shopping center, hawker Center (food Street) account for a large proportion of the area, there seems to be still around a rental housing residents. A positive value lunch rush hour a hawker centre, good business in various stalls, the square of the table are mostly occupied by guests, to find a location where it's not easy. Individual stalls are involved, being good roast meat, being powder surface, before the well-known stalls often have to row long team. We are a custom bean before the point of stall it signs with tofu soup, bean curd, fried tofu, tofu as main material, with clean and refreshing of meatballs, and other various spices, and salt is moderate, the aroma is all good, taste really is so memorable. Another snack "Sea Urchin seared" is another flavor, fried eggs, add proper fresh sea urchins, Sea Urchin's flavor and aroma of egg didn't seem a day, is a very good the next meal. Our point of radish spring rolls are the food Street snacks, with signs of taste taste is first-class.

From gourmet Street, we visited the Chinatown of flats.

Take the lift up to the eighth floor, the cell door on the upper floors all are positive on the corridor, residents in the corridor in front of his home planted various pot plant, the monotonous buildings radiate some angry. Standing in the aisle on the eighth floor and look out Singapore city centre in the distance, in the midday sun is shining, the distant buildings seem brighter, here it is Singapore's a perfect viewing platform. From the corridor in the past, through the window, you can see the living arrangement, the area was a bit small, furniture and supplies to occupy the most space, seem a bit crowded. And inside the household, they are all very enthusiastic, in conversation that the building has been in 40 years, new conditions of rental and is much better because of it. Despite all these years, the building did not render legacy of State, must have been benefited from the good maintenance management, this is worth China housing management authorities.

Previously visited countries in many areas of Chinatown, like New York, Washington, Paris, Sydney, Bangkok, the city's Chinatown are de-centralized and lack of order, such as Singapore Chinatown such uniform, is rare.

Say a Chinese passion for gaming, from small heard looking, poor little gamble, rich big bet, street alley, Mahjong sound loud; urban village, gambling site. In South-East Asia, in the land of the Chinese population, lawfully established betting agencies, must be rich to figure.
