Dango Singapore Christmas tours

Source: wegoout.net

My Singapore complex started in College, when I give a hyperactivity of the small front row when English tutors, his mother had just come back from Singapore, excited to show me a bunch of photos from the Garden State, and Singapore's clean and beautiful praise, from where I've been longing for this island Harbor.

In recognition of Daniel, I wish one after another, including going to Singapore. My impression of the Lion City total: food, Christmas lights, green, developed shopping and entertainment facilities, rich of art ... In fact, a small place to play for as long as your heart is also interesting, not necessarily choose 10 days tour package over new.

Singapore area close to 700 square kilometres, with the exception of Singapore island, also contains 63 small islands, but these small islands are uninhabited.

Singapore really small, larger than 100 square kilometres around Pudong, equivalent to approximately one-tenth of Shanghai. But as taxi driver said: "the pepper is very small, but also very hot!"

* New ascendancy and unusual sense of pride

Newcomers to our country very proud, and China's development is know very little, seems to think that we live in the stone age.

"Today is the winter solstice, we eat tangyuan at home. Very convenient, the supermarket you can buy a bag, you can boil down the pot boiling. Not like you, want to go to buy flour, vegetable farms, and more trouble for yourself. "Halo! like Carrefour, Lotus has such a large supermarket in China up everywhere, can buy instant ain't no big deal! now cooking kneading dough to bake cakes, pizza, let's is a kind of amenities! unfortunately I even preach he didn't understand my authentic Mandarin, Cantonese accent drivers only to ourselves, describes the happy life of Singapore people. It seems there's a taxi driver are the same, hualao!

Singapore's taxi (they call the "TeX") drivers love on tourists advocate:

1. once the world's largest, now the third largest Ferris wheel Singapore Flyer

2. two years after the completion of the center of the Casino, the Casino will be Singapore and Hong Kong competition visitors important chips.

We were running a driver is Shanghai Tong, he even know Tomson a gimmick of the roof, also know that China is about to cancel golden week, and in autumn and the Dragon Boat Festival.

It's not easy. Another driver was mentioned in the Suzhou Industrial Park let newcomer feels wronged.

Singapore's drivers are abiding by the rules, if encountered when turning sidewalk green, he will wait for Zebra everyone go clean before they continue to open.

Pedestrians are not tight not slowly, knowing that the car will be waiting. See a lorry driver cheats, fingers pointing point of criticism said, "this car, a red light and he go!" in Singapore on older people's quality is also high, it looks like their habits is not a day for two days, life is this. Drivers like the mouthpiece of the Government of Singapore, on our big plus urged: "throw the garbage and cigarette butts are fined 200 SGD, a relative has just caught a second time. Lost in Chinatown, a fine of 200 cigarettes. "" There, you will have to wait for green-light (the green) to cross the road! "alas, we seem to not understand what the rules are the same. But it's no wonder they are afraid of the Chinese people, returned in Pudong airport, a woman forcibly elevator belt, behind a foreigner motioned for her right to other people through the left road. Woman, disdained by said: "the foreigner, Governor!" next turn more see taxi knocked down motor, left without any word slips. Usual way see to throw garbage truck and plastic bag event is emerging. Maybe to our next generation, this shameful thing will be less.

* Taxi

Singapore taxi company, billing is quite complex, start price seems 2.8 SGD, night hikes.

Taxi cannot call stop, to a special queue waiting Taxi Stand. Although the commercial need large queues, but adequate, etc. not cheyuan soon will be able to use the car, very convenient. But in the quiet roads, according to the docking point for the "next" button, hire a car or a car, there is a background about scheduling Center. We soon found drivers generally old age, but the old man started car and unambiguous. We praise said: "it's convenient Singapore a taxi, the price is cheap. "The driver laughing:" If you come as early as a week or two, there is no car! now is just going up, a lot of people protest does not sit. Protest for a while not to sit! hum. ”

Singapore road to Japan car, HONDA and TOYOTA almost half of all it is.

* Food Court

"Something really good Singapore! each meal will eat well enough.

"Daniel exclaimed. Want to know the last time he fled to Hong Kong was almost back, because "nothing to eat, the net is a Western-style food. "Singapore is a country of immigration, like a pot as the Southeast Asia collection, various ethnic flavor too sour, strong, Daniel's taste. Big Government together in shopping malls, public facilities, ground or upper floor, a clean strike restaurant, the food was selling well, and one large index. Thailand, Viet Nam, Malay cuisine, Korea Japan restaurant ... Select more Tiao. (Similar to Shanghai's largest food generation and the like, but the distribution of more intensive, more health. No wonder many people in Singapore) simply fired, three meals a day at home does not have to go to the food court. (Just recently Singapore newspaper say: when prices rose, 50 to supermarket just can't buy them, so some TeX drivers wife back cooking, to preparing breakfast and lunch box family — no more, nor is the province. "The Government said," this is oil prices triggered a chain reaction. "Some people said:" and so the child College went to China, where prices are low life. "They are too naive, China will not lower prices. ）

However clean food court, open until 10: 30, 10: 00 before also prepare in clean, breakfast only another way out.

After we found the hotelSurface a Bardo breakfast, health conditions for the marginal, fried profits, roast meat and other food, more affordable, just like the big gears. Here working on mainland sister does not speak English, even own street name are speaking out, just a day after day of bitter face cut meat roasting, it can be considered out of the country, but the situation has not improved. I heard that Singapore schools generally bilingual teaching, will not work on any good English and are not found! are heard "Singapore is very particular about the diploma of, if not the origin of prestigious, even with years of experience or recognition. "Hearsay, do not know the true and false.

Singapore prices and not expensive to eat from a food court, you see.

One person, each about 6-10 SGD (SGD and RMB exchange rate of approximately 5: 1), 10 SGD is bring fruit or fruit juice for the price, and Shanghai's lunchtime business meal prices almost. Food to all kinds of snacks, plus a small pot. Here you can feast papaya, pineapple, Kiwi, common pear and Apple is particularly sweet and moisture. Fruit is cut into a piece of a neat line options, each about 0.5-1 SGD, selected after the attendant will cut into small pieces a plate, with bamboo sticks and gave it to you, I thought she'd bag to me own way!

* Explore concern ' trotters fail, so far

Singapore's most authentic cuisine, I'm afraid not ' trotters.

We didn't do his homework in advance, the interim report on the Buddha's feet, according to the tourist guide who went to China town pagoda Street to eat pine ' trotters, Wong didn't wanted to pagoda Street and walked three times, Leng didn't find this restaurant! find locations for later reference number, it is a foot in the door touting the sister. People do not know where to go to the surface of the peach blossom still smiling spring breeze. Back to the shop of the child to move to the Yangon road. Then go to the little India, also did not encounter yellow fine ' trotters restaurant, ' contrition. These two old fame are very loud, respectively by the children of Huang mimatsu, must have similar taste, are light-plus pepper flavor — but I know what I have not tasted: ( And ' trotters in ordinary food court does not sell, too fun not to take care of visitors!

* Population density

Singapore's population of 400 million, of which 77% are Chinese.

In addition to Monaco, Singapore is the world's most densely populated countries, but it is said that the Government is also promoting the talent introduction, hope to reach 600 million par. Singapore labor shortages, joint morning post, there's a whole page recruitment information, but are not the types of technical content. In addition to the taxi driver, waitress, cleaner also mostly the elderly. (This is also reflected in the Lion City from the side of the polarization, poor old can't are plenty of Akers. ), Health encouraged production has three child allowance. So when are lovely children, a family of three babies are very common phenomena. There are times when sitting in a large family, next to a girl and two boys, as usual, the custody by a Filipino. The mother's voice is very big, "sit down!" (loud estimate is more from the child. After the mother point) meal. Hill Tiger, two monkeys on the table to go to rub rub. Then the man next to Japanese restaurant with the cavity for attracting business bawled, "I ra t I ma shi ya se!" small brother feel interesting, loud imitation, made little brother giggling. Filipino company called them mostly, but nobody listens to her. Duplicate learning a couple snaps, little brother cried: "Everyone keep quiet, freeze! Listen to me!” Get the next table are of note, he also strange tone of imitation, the dude down sorry, buried under the head, smiling sigh. Cook also be attracted to probe looked out. The children look more affected by attention, even more proud that out loud. Until we finished eating, they are also trying to help Japanese restaurant La business. The child will be more than one language, it's difficult to imagine how small they had to switch brains.

* Language, is a lesson.

New from small English teaching, English thinking no problem, but with a strong accent, speed and fast, does not listen thought they said Hokkien, Cantonese, causing severe hearing impairment, I sometimes have to give me when translation Daniel, (he was proud of this).

So foreigners (both European and American) to Singapore also had to adapt to a certain period of time. English is written language, Singapore (although Chinese majority, but the streets are rarely seen in Chinese. ) And the official language is diverse, Chinese is the language, to India is India language, and so on. English in Singapore by addition of localization, vocabulary, pronunciation, weird or mixture: the India, Malay, Hokkien dialect of characteristics such as, forming a unique Singlish, described on the official station. On the other hand, the general public in a big storm in English, let me stimulated, home pledge henceforth only look at the satellite television, listen to the radio, to newcomers in English.

* Go to Orchard Road for Christmas

The wording of this point is mentioned in the city of Christmas, Christmas is not the legendary.

There are rumors road "for Asian countries, the Christmas have a creepy decent, almost only Singapore and Hong Kong.

"While the STB in order to get the business, and design of a musical, theme party concert intermission program, Orchard Road lighting is its retention program. Their website done too much, "free open-air hippo hippopotamus bus bus will take you through light sea!" sounds like a fairy tale. But in fact, hippo, not to mention the free bus is spending a large amount of money it is difficult to find a ticket!, not to mention 24 late all of humanity is about to come to Orchard Road on the left making a noise and noise, smell of sweat, it is difficult to move an inch, close to the bus station where you can half a step!

Fortunately, I anticipate events, 23, advance to Orchard Road and see the light.

Orchard Road jammed, invites. Take some photos.

The light in the Orchard Road shopping malls and business sponsors, to match, Paragon door Christmas tree when the head, I think.

* Christmas dinner

Christmas Eve people

Mountains, sea, fortunately, we still find the side of the pure land enjoy Christmas dinner. Follow the guidelines of the tourist guide from Orchard Road bend into the alley, find Wheelock Place building. Simple Life is hidden in a Fish Pot shop, like shop in shop. Eat out people's congresses of the fish, while SL queues is quiet in the downtown. Food dish to Indonesia, Thailand, learn Western Swing fingered, appetizer, main meals and dishes, desserts, dining, the rhythm is to slow down, it will be some grand, with festive atmosphere. However South East Asian cuisine that is eating a fresh world, this meal impressed me most is Hainan chicken rice. In place of a guage of Hainanese chicken rice that after the seas have become fresh. Complemented by three color dip sauce served with, is to offend anybody. The Mandarin Hotel of Hainanese Chicken Rice tells us about it. Meals through the floor glass Christmas lanterns, is hilarious. SL become our Singapore line which a light color.

* Sentosa

Sentosa this not in the plan, I heard that it is just a new weekend swimming barbecue in the Park, I think we sailed, won't go up this hilarious! but daniel believes every day shopping and attractions, in the spirit of good boring on the natural scenery of infinite love, insisting I arranged to go Sentosa a day.

Arm twisting but what his thigh, he thought it would do. After feeling better tour — not trip:)

People talk about "Sentosa scenery is not a good, really good! especially flowers Cedar Hill to the World Trade Center of that paragraph.

"So we excitedly for a taxi to take back and forth Cypress Hill buy tram. Spoilsport, scenic cable car, haven't seen that saw several big pit, built in full swing. Then read the newspaper that the island will build a casino and two hotels. Consolidated painted green and white two-coloured cement cars at the site in order to arrange, excavators, cranes, pile, like the role of the scene. There are two places in Singapore Chem repair oversized holiday village, a second in Sentosa, on the outskirts of Marina Bay.

Sentosa natural scenery with Sanya, shoot photos feel familiar, but a lot of man-made landscape.

In urban areas have DFS's hot air balloons, planes, 10 minutes for tourists; in Sentosa has Carlsberg sponsor engage high tower, in the same vein is off, Maybe the best known: the view in singapore. Exaggeration.

* Southernmost Asia

Later I asked daniel on Sentosa that impressed me most, the answer is: the southernmost "Asia."

Palm-size a little piece of land had two mulou, suspension and Sentosa Island is connected to the floor, leisure, chat. Singapore is a good use of the limited natural resources, a tiny little place to engage in a lot of tricks, originally perhaps is a small island some stones, he built a wooden platform, also cover two building, became the sea listens to the wind. Newcomers can maximize the potential of mining a place, which is most impressed me. Daniel met said that "the ' Earth ' Sanya and we go together, the southernmost of the Asian continent to together also. ”

* Merlion like

Sentosa markers: merlion giant sculpture, 50 meters, with a 10-story building.

Of course this is also the symbol of Singapore. It is said that a Malay Prince after Singapore Island (then still called Temasek) Emmanuel nymphs, said he saw a lion's head fish as the monster, the island has this jinkouyuyan named — Singapore is Malay in any mean.

Photos of blue train called the Sentosa Express, Sentosa Express, daniel-want to go and sit to see, but I have already booked a steep ROAR ROAR, so return cable car riding experience.

* Singapore Vientiane Museum

But for me, Sentosa's most attractive features is Singapore Vientiane Museum.

10 SGD a ticket, I thought that AZ, is in fact very attractive here with wax reproduce Singapore's history, however, also use wax has a large number of multimedia technology, full of colour, giving a complete audio-visual experience.

Vientiane Museum to the opening of multimedia productions that reflect Chinese, Malays, India and Europe and to establish "four winds" in early trading companies.

Queen Envoy Sir raffles, and Malay King signed the Treaty, the Singapore and thus open the door, the small fishing village and development for today's power.

Singapore will Raffles as Sun Yat-Sen, today's Singapore social life in all its aspects and Raffles are inextricably linked, in addition to his statue, many commercial buildings, streets, schools, hospitals are named by raffles. (There's a Raffles Plaza Shanghai is also investing in Singapore. ) So in Singapore if Raffles Plaza as road signs, 80% will get lost.

Seeing the end of the visit, the wall a cartoon but humorous comments: "It's not the end!"

This is a wax-like people suddenly stood up and came to us, do welcome gesture, described next, you will see an exhibition of traditional festivals in Singapore. Daniel back round sighed: "he was actually alive!"

* Shopping

Singapore gives us the feeling in addition to the hotel are various shopping centres.

If only one day time and like to go to the shop Window Shopping, you can go straight to the ngee Ann city along Orchard Road, the city of DFS (brand intensity quickly caught up with Hong Kong Bay City). We initially ran to Suntec, where "one mall with a direct connection to the mall on the horizon", went astray, and are young people like fashion brand, it is not recommended.

* Greece sculpture painting exhibition

sg45.jpg

I happened to be in Paris, the Louvre may day lilies of the Valley Festival; the Athens holiday, hurried to visit monuments, Museum and stay again missed a lot of regret, but I didn't think they were waiting for me in Singapore? — street signs advertising wrote: Greek Masterpieces from the Louvre, Greece sculpture and painting in the Scriptures from the Louvre Museum loan to Singapore.

Go to before and don't know they are closed on public holidays, rest to Art Museum we know today will not only open, free tickets, lucky.

Read on to know that Greece is originally bronze sculpture, but in Roman occupation period these statues were taken away after the decoration of the Palace in Rome, garden or even in the bathroom, the amount of great result in short supply, so the fourth and fifth century b.c. has had a huge marble copies, later original bronze statue was destroyed in the war, handed down since they are all marble statue.

Experience the tremendous, then painting can save so far the only ceramic bottles of decorative painting (vase painting). Greece classical art subject to religious and Greece gods as the main theme of the campaign is also rare, and drama, pop art.

Due to the ban on photography and video exhibition, artwork can only borrow Singaporesights official version, there are two pages:

* Little India and Arab Street

Last day I proposed to the Zoo and Gorilla had breakfast, night to night Zoo see reptile.

Daniel not interested, "what's nice Zoo?" then I said to go Shopping, Daniel shook his head, check out the map circle a few pieces, "we went to Chinatown, little India and Arab Street feel the exotic. Because we are less likely to go to India and the Arab region tourism, see miniature. "It sounds plausible, according to him.

Chinatown seems to be a new generation of immigrants settled place Mall commodity grades is generally not very high, the buzz seems like wholesale market.

Small business is designed for tourists, with a cheap commodity. Some Hong Kong-style cafes at the roadside, environment, food and General. The former doesn't see rickshaws became terminus, it is said that now is Jackie Chan's industry.

Little India street people, like commercial than Chinatown more underdeveloped.

We only went to India Hindu temple. Daniel in tourism, I stand guard at the door. Coming and going of many people in India, forehead point a cinnabar, a temple with a short prayer of will. Daniel came out in high spirits, "video shoot to light the waist! he quite generous, say hello to the lens. "It seems that India has already got used to tourists of believers, photo camera is okay. From the video to see the temple incense is sung. Start selling India flying cake, we were going to experience, but see several sit next to the restaurant is on hand with curry, we immediately dismissed the idea of flying bread to eat.

The Arab Street, as if a whole street are all carpet shop.

Wander into the second House, the shopkeeper enthusiasm said: these carpets woven by hand, a small blanket to weave a month! have a texture as the card back, faced a mercerizing, with light and changes color when the backlight. "Come, try this feel!" then Daniel bought four shots, used up on all SGD and dollars. Unfortunately not the Arab Feitan, then we can only walk to nearby Raffles Hospital ATM draw money hungry, all the way. Alas, this story tells us that people in a foreign country, buy things should never be given out. These carpets after returning home, the mother without washing the experiments, results, gloss and feel are demoralized, frightened me after two dry cleaners do not dare to send, then available.

* Perfect farewell

Return flight with movie on demand, select one of the perfect farewell ", black humor, even looking at it twice.

Didn't sleep into sleep. Lion City tour marked the perfect period.

This movie can be viewed online at the potatoes:
