Why Come Singapore?

The 2 giants, Mr Trump of USA & Mr Kim of North Korea picked Singapore for their historic meeting on Jun 12, 2018, further confirmed this Lion City is a Treasure!
Updated 19/6/18.

Singapore has no high mountain to climb, no pinkish coral to dive, no snow to ski, no great sunrise or sunset, no fake goods, & nothing that cheap. Historical & Natural sites few too.

This Lion Garden City speaks English, Chinese, Malay & Tamil in general. Common Chinese Dialects are Cantonese, Hakka, Hainanese, Hokkien & Teochew. 

Popularly known as The Little Red Dot is Summer daily. In addition as International Food Haven, the Local Food are very well received. My HK relative pre-arranged Chicken Rice date. They jumped on Bak Ku Teh (Pork Rib Soup), Satay (Malay BBQ), Bo Bo Cha Cha (Sweet Dessert) & Coconut. Not forgetting the Chilli Crab. Gold is bought too coz it's purer here. Many buy Branded Luxury Goods here for fake goods/shops are plenty in their countries. 

Great S'pore Sale in June, & various Trade Fairs are True Bargain. You might win the Lucky Draw too. The Night Safari Zoo is a 1st in the world. So is the F1 Night Race. An oversea pal wished to come watch the F1 & Concert. You can spend a full day at Sentosa Island & Universal Studio. SG Flyer, Ferris World, will lift you to the sky.

On arrival or departure, enjoy the world class Changi Airport. Pick up some Duty Free Goods, They said Cheapest. If one loves to enjoy the Hotel, Great! From Budget to 6 Star, plenty Hotels. 

Economical Shopping in Bugis to Luxurious Buy at Orchard. Raffles City in the middle. All are linked by good public transport, MRT, Air-Con Bus & Cab. 

Many Holy Religious Places for Buddhist, Christian, Muslim & Hindu. Nice Architectures. Waterloo St, commonly called 4th Road, Goddess of Mercy Temple, attracts numerous Locals & Foreigners daily. 

Chinatown is remade. Sichuan hotpots or steamboat easily found. People's Park Complex still vibrant. If you sleep little, head to Geylang. Lots of Chinese Food & Happenings, Not recommended for Kids.

Little Thailand, Golden Mile Complex, gathers many Thai Workers, Shops & Culture. Coach to Malaysia & Thailand.   

Little India, Serangoon Rd. Ideal for Tourists to explore Indian Culture.

Little Philippine, Lucky Plaza, many Philippine Workers especially on weekends. Her Culture too. Little Myanmar-Peninsula Plaza, Little Indonesia-City Plaza Geylang, Little Vietnam-end Geylang, the communities speak.

Geylang Serai & Arab Street are the Malay roots. Nice to explore all these areas.

Horse Racing & Casino are available at Marina Bay Sands & Resort World Sentosa. Free Entry to Casino for Tourists. Music & Dining by the Singapore River, Clark Quay & Boat Quay. 

As a multi-racial nation, major Festivals of different races are celebrated. New Year, Good Friday, Vesak Day, Labour Day, Hari Raya Puasa/Haji, Deepavali, & Christmas are Public Holidays.

Welcome too, if you wish to study or work here. Good Education & Employment.

a pal asked why always go BKK, what's the attraction? common reasons for travel include Work, Relax, Shopping, Food etc. some go for Theme Parks, Religious Visits, Historical Buildings etc. Of course some head to Exotic Food & Activities.  some visit Friends & Relatives.

an uncle joined the China Eating Tour by Restaurant Assn. he complained the leisure visit to view mountain & river was wasting time! another relative only likes Shopping in Modern Cities. someone returned from Halong Bay & remarked so slow moving, & she witnessed robbery! 

my HK relatives know SG very well. they call & pop over the next min! a friend who settled down in USA comes SG every alternate year to visit her relatives & friends. they also witness the rapid change of the Lion City. someone wishes to watch F1 & Concert here.

2 years ago brought a good friend to BKK. that's his virgin flight! although he's relatives in Sydney, never been there before for he didn't want to trouble them though was invited. picked BKK coz i'm quite familiar. his only request was don't catch flight before 9am for he afraid can't get up that early. also maybe no cab at 6 am! he lived in Sengkang. had few meetings with him before booking. explained to him Pratunam was like Bugis, Siam Sq meant Orchard Rd etc. told him what to expect.

in these 2 years other than church activities to Malaysia by coach/car, he didn't fly to anywhere. base on this request, i'm looking at HK. he's much magnetized by HK dramas/movies that he must visit Yau Ma Teh Police Stn, Ladies/Temple St, Ocean Pk & Macau. he feels early planning is risky as no one knows the nearer happening. that's quite tough. we're still planning.

well before you travel oversea, make sure you know what kind of activity you want. do expect the unexpected & enjoy the Cultural Shock.
