Singapore: A City Where Old Meets New

Vibrant and fun, in touch with history yet open to modern influences, this is the kind of country that Singapore is. Singapore is a “fine” city. There are plenty of actions that may lead to penalties from chewing gum in public to bringing durian in the subway but these do not rob locals and tourists of freedom and enjoyment. This is a destination that remains one of the most exciting locations in Asia. Apart from having one of the best airports in the world, Singapore is home to numerous attractions from Sentosa to Orchard Road.

Unlike other Southeast Asian countries, traffic is one of the many problems that people will not encounter here. The people are extremely disciplined but none of them are stuck up. Actually, Singaporeans are known to be very friendly and welcoming. One of the things that the locals are proud of is their ability to maintain a safe environment not only for the locals but also for those who spend time in the city. It is quite difficult to spot police officers out and about and this is because this is a place with a crime rate of zero percent.

The city has managed to retain remnants of old time Singapura while keeping in touch with modern day influences. There are monuments and temples that can be visited by eager visitors during the day. When nighttime comes, these people can head off to some of the finest bars and clubs and party on until morning.

Singapore is also an excellent shopping and dining destination. The offerings of Orchard Road provides shoppers with endless options while hawker centers offer some of the finest local cuisine at prices that cannot be beaten. Delicious dishes such as chicken rice and char kway teow will truly tantalize tastebuds.

Sentosa Island: A Captivating Island Getaway

February 2, 2017 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

The famous Sentosa Island has a rich history. Its location was important in protecting the waters of Keppel Harbour, and that’s why some forts were built on it. The island then became a military fortress maintained by the British during World War II. When Singapore became independent in 1967, the island was used as a naval base.

Waterskiing and Other Water Sports in Singapore

February 1, 2017 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

With its tropical climate, Singapore provides the perfect setting to hit the water. Thus, waterskiing and other water sports in Singapore top the list of recreational activities for tourists. The waters on the coasts of the city-state can be described as having minimal wave disturbance. This means the waters are generally calm and devoid of large waves.

Little India: Big in Surprises

January 31, 2017 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

A very lively town found north of the city, Little India is pretty much what its name implies – a miniature of India. According to history, the place developed from a small group of convicts from Tamil, India who settled in the area. Eventually, the community grew and attracted other Indians from neighboring areas, becoming an established community in Singapore. Far from being just a tourist attraction, the place is alive with authentic Indian culture, food, festivals, and markets.

The animals live in a place where their natural habitat is simulated, and even the barriers used to separate them from the guests look natural – vegetation, streams, and rock walls. This design eliminates the need to enclose the animals in cages.
