Singapore Malaysia Tourism--diaries (1)

July 8th, 2008--Shanghai---Guangzhou-Singapore

5 am 20 minutes from home start, good morning, Oh, no way, in order to catch the plane! ...

Morning drive is comfortable, one less car, 6 point arrived on company collection! ... But some good but people, boss and boss or late! pull, no way, so early also let the boss sent us to the airport, it is also embarrassed! (actually, he was willing to, after all, sent his wife well, HA HA ... We also did). Don't blame him.

To the airport, or too early! originally thought airport new provisions of the "a", "no," and "water is forbidden the fire so that" will delay a lot of time, but finally smoother is completed the check-in.

It is interesting to note that I put my beloved ZIPPO shipping aboard the plane, haha ... Didn't check it out!

Wait .... and so on the plane took off ...

On a toilet, airport restaurants have a breakfast, trying to consume time! airport consumption is expensive! buffet breakfast to 38 yuan/person, do not know what to eat! hang of it!

7: 40, finally to the boarding time, for convenience, each person has to pay a $ 20 change from economy class to first class, do not have queue is on a plane! (spring and autumn are the virtues that low price though, what services are canceled! small aircraft, services are poor, in addition to a bottle of mineral water per person, plus a small packet of peanuts, others may have to pay for it! wanna free, too!) for a long time not to fly, take off really unpleasant! tinnitus worse! 2 hours away, sorry!, however, the thought of going to the alien, exciting!

10: 40, arrived on airplane! have repeatedly visit Guangzhou, therefore no stranger! but the rest of immediacy! and the appointed time, go to the airport restaurant for lunch.

You have no way, no place to eat near! good GUI! ... We chose the cheapest, $ 60. But fortunately, the restaurant can free Internet access, eaten on the net, and colleagues reported a peaceful, are also considered worthy of the price, huh, huh ...

12 point on time and the rest of the meeting, a team of people or more, plus a team leader also 11 personal! Shanghai side 5, 1, Wuhan, Guangzhou, 1, a couple of Nanjing, Shenyang 2, one of Harbin.

Originally the old Wei, linyi city, Shandong province to come, don't know how, sudden cancel the trip. Because the are old friends, thought can meet, a pity!

We know each other and set off together.

In the team what Ms Simin, go to the check-in and baggage, and then do the clearance procedures are so complex! Singapore law, is not allowed to bring alcohol and tobacco can only per person on entry! with a pack of cigarettes, but also can not exceed 19 root! Halo die! no way, for the sake of my PP (not affected by whipping), can mobilize the whole mission to help bring together all the women smoke! Oh, this approach also has the effect, whether it be not smokers, a pack of cigarettes per person!

13: 20 minutes, the aircraft took off successfully.

All are excited, 3 and a half hours of travel is a bit long, but the way everyone laughing and passed quickly! plus SIA plane very luxurious, machine equipped with TV (over 100 television stations: Oh, great!), listen to music, drink, drink, eat a snack, soon-to-destination-Singapore.

From the airport fast close 18: 00, Singapore's day or full bright! perhaps summer, perhaps because the subtropical climate reasons, stifling! a airport, is a heavy rain to the earliest! go faster, it seems that God has sent to meet us!

Deserve to be Asia's most beautiful garden city! Changi Airport as a whole are flowers and trees looming! from every angle to appreciate, is the most beautiful scenery!

Meet our local tour guide, last week! Miss is Chinese, Mandarin fluently.

On the way to the hotel, go to our about local customs and considerations: can't spit; you cannot eat chewing gum; you cannot have air conditioning smoke in public places; and so on ... Also the Church we say simple Malay, for example: Hello-----"grilled trousers";----"fat"; men----dinner at the "short";----"buy root Rasi,"----"cat"; do not--"big cat"; Dear-"SAYANG" ... Etc, etc, to hear you enjoyed it, occasionally also with laughter. However, I am most impressed by or on the road leading to the airport was thick with flower isolated! and others actually look at the road belt makes no difference, but also with flowers or composed of grass! it's mystery lies than normal to wide, in the event of war, but the airport was destroyed, can temporarily as a runway for aircraft take off and land use! this is Singapore people's wisdom! not impressed!

In addition, I also learned Guide: Singapore is a port city, is a Hong Kong Hing.

After long efforts, has become an important international trade in the Asia-Pacific region, international finance and international shipping center. Of course, port of Singapore logistics has become the main economic pillar industries, but also is the world's most modern and the busiest port. In addition, Singapore's Chinese is a class citizens, Singapore's 77.3% of the total population, other 14.1% Malays, 7.3% India and parts of mixed blood (the guide said that four people: poached egg, hard-boiled egg, egg and jerk, HA HA ~ ~ enough image!). Because Chinese, many shops and public places are marked with the Chinese, the vast majority of people can speak Chinese, gives us the feeling as if also in domestic, doesn't feel strange!

Along the way, I always looked, all roads, buildings, shopping malls ... are so attractive to me, after all, is in a different country, although the language of communication is not

Into barriers (Chinese in Singapore or better, anyway I where people speak English and I didn't understand, I speak English and they do not understand, Halo dead!), but always feel that there is still a very big difference! they live in the back of the building is vacated because climate reasons cause of moisture and, therefore, not the underlying all, as a car park or shopping arcade. Because once belonging to the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, colonial, therefore, retains many of the United Kingdom's culture. For example: traffic driving direction also and internally instead, the driver sits right in the cab, the vehicles are left. English is the official language of the local, Chinese and Malay is the most used language.

Singapore is small, only from South to North, 23 km from East to West and only 42 km, slightly more than the Pudong Shanghai bigger! so, soon we arrived at the hotel.

This is a newly opened hotel is near the seaside, just, elegant environment, although a bit crude, but very clean. A bit of rest after we set off again.

The evening is a new audio industry in, cocktail PARTY, are arranged in Singapore City Centre's most famous nightclubs ZOUCKCLUB.

Attend reception for a lot of people are basically sound industry peers. Positive Singapore PLAME audio electronics exhibition period, so many colleagues at home and abroad are together, well not! we enjoy the delicious seafood buffet, taste a wide range of drinks, listen to music with passionate JAZE, enjoy the charm of this overseas!

The CLUB still early, it was suggested to the Geylang Singapore, there in Chinatown (CHINA TOWN), is not far. .. It is a famous food Street, which is the so-called "night gears" ...

Thus the delegation points sit three taxi came to Geylang 18 lanes. Off the car, we are all shocked! road on both sides of the station with various manifestations of glamour woman so, here is the famous red light district of Singapore! I really didn't think this rigorous national legal system, will also have local bands of pheasant, or legitimate business (Gate red lanterns hanging is legal brothel! red lanterns lit, on behalf of the business; the red lanterns out, shut out of business. The street stations are illegal business!). Geylang road to split the Geylang area on the left is a food Street, on the right side of the red light district. Maybe the drivers ' big mistake, maybe it was intentional, must turn us on this side of the red light district. However, also see the Singapore another "beautiful scenery", can be considered as eye-opening! haha ...

Finally crossed the red light district, accompanying ladies are scared of two legs made of soft (those color Mimi's Malay eye, you said that urgent urgent!), while the men were those glamour woman kept sliding around ...

Not that we it help master are self understanding is high, a fear of infectious diseases, the second is in this scene was really, really scared! originally wanted to take some photos of local customs, and finally into nothing, everybody get left the land of right and wrong. Eventually what shopping Ah ... Tasting snacks Ah are no appetite! a bunch of people headed home early.

Back to the hotel, a lot of people back into the room, and some sleep, play cards ...

I wanted on the Internet, but I didn't expect this price simply cannot afford! not that expensive, 28 SGD package night prices actually is not good, can be converted into RMB may get sticker shock (RMB/SGD: 1 ratio 5.35 around)! a bargain, you can only give up the idea, thought today not tomorrow. (Thought behind for a few days for the hotel may be cheaper, didn't think alike! to Malaysia Hotels, simply didn't have the Internet, the rich also does not enter into! Halo die!) but we could not just dry sit and watch TV here (TV also can't read, not the English channel is Malay), finally here, always enjoy the alien's taste. So find also find, finally found a few jiuyou go hotel opposite the small gears to drink. The little gears though is the bustling Geylang, alone a bit out of it (because in the hotel, after all, not on a main road, our several guests), but because relying on the beach, very quiet, very casual, although the price of wine is expensive, a sheaf of draught beer to 25 SGD (Singapore's three most expensive things: liquor, cigarettes, car, because the Government does not advocate the purchase), but in this kind of atmosphere and taste different------wine does not intoxicate! haha ... Singapore night very static, very beautiful! stars of the sky, you will still be able to see the beautiful clouds ... ... Unlimited reverie arises spontaneously ....
