I Conquered Singapore In 2.5 Days
Unlike my trips to Hongkong and Thailand where I shopped 'till I dropped (Oh, how my bank account cried!) I promised myself that my trip to Singapore will be devoted to sight seeing, and that's exactly what I did! What's there to love in the Lion City? A lot actually, but my tours would say... - the friendly and helpful people
- a small room with a comfy bed and delicious buffet breakfast at the Copthorne King's Hotel (special thanks to my best friend Oya, my sponsor for this one)
- Jurong Bird Park, Singapore Zoo and Night Safari
- Sentosa Island and all the attractions that go with it
- Siloso Beach
- the view from Mt. Faber
- Outram Park and Fort Canning Park
- Singapore River
- Orchard Road for the shopping centres and the night life
- Bugis Village
- Bugis Street for great shopping bargains (take a peek inside the Consex Shop, naughty he he and taste the Gourmet Bakkwa in the neighboring stall)
- MRT and the buses
- Raffles Hotel
- Chijmes
- The architectural designs of Central Fire Station, MICA Building, Stamford Court, the City Hall, Parliament House, Singapore Management University (the building looks more like a shopping center than a university) and Bugis Junction
- Singapore Art Museum
- Singapore Botanical Gardens
- Clarke Quay and Boat Quay
- Esplanade Bridge, Read Bridge, Coleman Bridge and Elgin Bridge
- Trishaw rides
- Boat rides
- Cable car rides
- China Town- Little India and the Zhujiao Centre
- Arab Street
- places of worship (churches, mosques, temples,synagogues)
- Esplanade Theatres
- Fountain of Wealth in Suntec City
- they have Manila Street
- Changi Airport (especially the Nexus Lounge, sunflowers, orchids and yay! free internet)
- Hmmm...another visit?
That's a lot to cover in a couple of days. You must have had a great time there.

Been a while since I've last visited S'pore. I was thinking of going there and at the same time, pass by Malaysia for an eyeball with some of my blogger friends. :-)
