2008 Chinese new year Singapore travel (2)

The plane after an hour or so arrived at Fu Zhou airport, all hand baggage off the plane, follow the airport management guidelines for a number of formalities, and waiting for the plane.

Approximately 10: 20 on the aircraft, the aircraft did not change, nor the seat, just change the crew. Go silent, put two movies, complete the immigration card, 2: 45 pm arriving on the Singapore Changi Airport. From the ice in Hangzhou to perennial average temperature of 30 degrees of Singapore, it is the duality of ice and fire, the machine we began less clothes, aircraft, the change of clothes full of a big package.

Son with three students in a outlet anxiously waiting to see us on how to complain:: howler! hehe, died.

Leave the parents of three months and saw the excitement! at the exit to other parents bring the children out of things to them, we are also pleased and excited, new year, had not seen their parents, has received the gift of parents, is also a kind of comfort. First sitting airport light rail to the Metro station, the children themselves have a student card, you can take the subway and bus, because our coming, her son borrowed two adult fare card (credit card than pay cash also slightly cheaper, easier, no need to keep the change each time). Singapore subway and bus are the same as domestic take the subway and get off at the swipe card to card, take the bus to stop must press the car parking button, otherwise the driver will not stop. When you see a car to travel to waved, otherwise the car will not be stopped. In the last few days in Singapore for the overall feeling is very convenient to the subway, identity clearly, Ticket Office also has a Chinese, even the English don't understand remember station names, look at each station on the line of code. Metro and bus, let alone station names are English, to station the driver did not stop, going up to take the bus line, the back is not a primitive line returns, but also to look for a line, as far as the children say, if you can in the Singapore Metro and bus around, are you familiar with Singapore.

With the subway back to the city, we in the City Hall stop halfway down, the others continue to go back to school.

We live in the peninsula ctrip Excelsior Hotel, my eye is the geographical location of the hotel, is located in the Centre, the Metro backbone (EW and NS line transit point), the son of schools and attractions are very easy and the price is reasonable. From MTR Station Exit b fro left three minutes saw (we just don't know when it is exported from B, around a circle). But it's ctrip evaluation is not high, so I thought I would feel very poor results into the hotel gives people again and again surprise, we were in the 18 floor, although not in the Marina Centre, but behind the scenes is also good, very quiet. Room facilities (by the way, without the comb, and quilts, in addition, the hotel has a refrigerator, safe box, kettle, bathroom also put a fresh beginning a Phalaenopsis, also sent two oranges, Kazakhstan). The room is large enough, we are a family of three to a mattress to sleep it off it. Overall, just like online review, this hotel has long not decoration, facilities a bit old. But not too high should or can afford. Take the lift to the L-check in formalities, you speak Chinese or not, they will find the Chinese to help you with formalities, the lobby is quite nice (if light reading here would think is a five star), the edge, there are two small swimming pool, there is time to inside the bubble is good. Because, like, so it took a lot of photos, room generally, anyway, night sleep, narrowly also does not matter. Online difference soundproofed room said, I do not know our edge nobody or what reason, anyway I didn't feel that the hotel occupancy of many Europeans.

There is one thing that I have some doubts about things to do in, let me provide a credit card to my ask the front desk was explained that provide an equivalent to the deposit guarantee, if you are in Hotel consumption, they detained from here.

I think also for the hotel need a deposit, you get to them in the POS machines brush a bit, he told me not debited to my cell phone to immediately receive the consumer tips for 250 SGD. I think that is detained for the money when the deposit, to do check-out when I pay particular attention to whether he has the money refunded to me, and he just put the POS card list has been removed, said, I told him to intervene with a half-day, he found a Chinese good point man to tell me to say that without deduction of money, the list is not my signature debit unsuccessful. I vaguely remember advice about international card program on consumption abroad, though not immediately settled, you have to wait a period followed by merchant settlement, only to come back, after a period of time if there is a billing. First encounter this situation, maybe ignorance, hehe.

Settled since the hotel went, and found that this place is really good, we walk along the seaside Center, see the next to the Church of St. Andrea, a street of Raffles Hotel, across a large lawn, is the promenade, is held in the spring of the river and welcome the new year, there is Chinese Lantern, Chinese-style recreation, here feel like at home.

Visit the Esplanade, the wandering lian, merlion park far to see the fountain of the lion (Singapore's markers), and along the Singapore River and feel the exotic character and style, and so had the Chinese new year's Eve.
