Things to do in Singapore
Ok what is there to do in Singapore? I'm going out there in June after the wifes work has generously said they would fly me out there to meet up with her when she goes for a 2 week business trip.
Monday to Friday she will be working normal business hours so I need to keep myself amused during the day, and although the bar and pool seem appealing for a bit, I fancy seeing some of the place whilst she works :lol1:. |
The day zoo is amazing (night zoo ok but nowhere near as good). Sunbathing, buying electronics (not sure they're cheap but plenty of shops), boat trips etc.
Not a huge place TBH - and you'll soon get bored of singapore slings! G |

Lived there in the 80's. Grat place to live. Not so cheap now as before but very safe and organised.
Suggedt Jurong Bird Park; It is quite spectacular. Zoo also is good. Go see Raffles Hotel form a different era. Go to Sentosa island and see where the Brits wrongly built their defences against Japan in ww2. They came down through Malaya instead. Go down to Singapore river at night . Multitude of restaurants etc. Go to Chinatown (or what is left of it). |
Get a bespoke suit made in 6 hours.

Chinatown, Little India and Joo Chiat Road are great places to wonder around and eat too.

Go to Sentosa Island via cable car
Night Zoo (which we thought was excellent) Raffles for a gin sling or 2 :D |
Ride the underground.....for a whole day to fully take in and appreciate how easy, cheap, clean, fast and reliable public transport in the UK SHOULD be. :mad:
|
Champagne brunch at the Marriot was fun. Night Zoo was a little odd to me (full of stuffed animals!). Sentosa Island is good.

Haw Par Villa - an 'alternative' to western theme parks - used to love it when I was a kid. Built by the guy who invented Tiger Balm to showcase Chinese myhs and folklore...

Thats as not as daft as it first appears :D, i am a rather odd shape and struggle to get nice suits to fit me properly with out the jacket looking like a bell tent, Ta for that:thumb: any recommendations?
If you like your food, there's a place called Lau Pa Sat which has an amazing choice at reasonable cost. Arranged into a sort of asterisk shape, it's a building dating from the Victorian era, wrought iron structure, with tables in the middle and down the middle of the "legs". So you get your tray and buy a selection of Indian, Thai, Chinese, Malaysian food from each of the stalls. :thumb: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...%2C_Jan_06.JPG |
Thanks every one, those suggestions will keep me busy and entertained and out of the bars for a bit ;)

Remember it's hot & humid as hell out there so pick suitable clothing too if you are gonna walk around otherwise things start to chaff ;)
