Singapore – Wandering Page

Singapore— the melting pot of Asia, a blend of eastern and western influences.

This country is seriously one of the most disciplined and cleanest I have seen, I didn’t even see a fly here even in their food centers.

Upon arriving in Singapore we decided to buy the Singapore Tourist Pass Plus for each of us, it is an ez-link card that gives you access to Singapore’s basic bus services, LRT and MRT. To be honest this was a wrong move because when I computed everything it definitely was expensive… if on a budget just opt for the ordinary ez-link which you can load and use to pay for different things in Singapore. The great thing about this pass is it’s very convenient to use and you can keep it as a souvenir.

The Orchard Road

Orchard Road is definitely the shopping capital of Singapore, there are lots of malls here and high end shops.

Vivo City

The largest mall in Singapore…

From Vivo City you can ride the Cable Car (Mount Faber and Sentosa Line)

We’ve decided to buy the 55 SGD ticket for unlimited rides of the Cable Cars and experience 2 attractions of Sentosa.

Mount Faber Park

Ring the bell of friendship and make a wish through the wishing bells.

Siloso Beach and Fort Siloso

Explore Fort Siloso, a fort built in the late 19th century…

Merlion Park

This is the first attraction that we decided to see in Sentosa. You can ride the elevator to the top of the Merlion and its mouth.

Wings of Time

This is the second attraction that we chose at Sentosa.

Show schedule is at 7:40 and 8:40 daily.

This I swear is one of the best attractions of Sentosa, totally worth seeing!

Gardens by the Bay

This Singapore tourist attraction is out of this world, a must-visit attraction and something you shouldn’t dare to miss. It was beautiful and educational too. This attraction is the best description of Singapore; well-thought, futuristic and one of a kind.

There are 2 conservatories in Gardens by the Bay:

The conservatories are intended to be an energy efficient showcase of sustainable building technologies and to provide an all-weather edutainment space within the Gardens. (wikipedia)

Cloud Forest Dome

This conservatory replicates the cool moist conditions found in tropical mountain regions. (wikipedia)

Flower Dome

This conservatory replicates a mild, dry climate and features plants found in the Mediterranean and other semi-arid tropical regions (e.g. parts of Australia, South America, South Africa). (wikipedia)

Marina Bay Sands

Marina Bay Sands is a famous luxury hotel in Singapore.

It has a mall inside and different dining options, it also has an observation deck but you’ll have to pay for the ticket.

There is also a free to the public light and water show by Marina Bay Sands called Spectra.

Haji Lane

Hip neighbourhood situated at Kampong Glam with lots of boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops and bars. Lots of artsy spots to take photos. too.

Masjid Sultan

Also located at Kampong Glam is a Sultan Mosque, a place of worship for the Muslim community… also a building that’s worth taking a photo of because of its impressive facade.

Chinatown

Lots of things you can buy in this area and there’s also a Hawker Center here that has the famous world’s cheapest 1 Michelin Star… Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle
