Singapore Trip - July 20, 2015- July 24, 2015
My first trip to abroad this year, a place I really want to
go back for a long time. But this was also the first trip that was really
unplanned since I’ve been busy
Singapore is one of the best countries for me to travel ever
since I got hooked up with travelling.
Actually this is my 4
th trip
to Singapore already and it never fails to amaze me. Why? Very diverse. You will meet a lot of
foreigners there and some have already decided to live in Singapore. Most of them
are Indians, Malaysians, Chinese, Americans and met few Filipinos there,
Why? Singapore is one of the safest countries I’ve been to; the people there are
really disciplined and they obey the strict rules. For real!. Transportation? Well I
will admitted that I always travel with a travel group or take a taxi but for
this tour I decided to take the trains, and YES it is really EASY and CHEAP.
The foods? Some travelers would think that the food would cost expensive, yes if you will dine in a expensive restaurants but if you prefer to
taste different varieties of cuisine there I suggest roam around. Trust me
there are lots of dishes there to try like Chinese food, Indian foods, Japanese
foods, Malaysian foods, Thai foods and of course Singaporean foods. Based from my experience budget would be
around S$ 5-10 for a meal and S$1-3 for some snacks. But I would admitted that I splurge a lot when it comes to foods since why not, I am in a Singapore and I love the foods there.
Airline ticket : Booked a flight from Philippine Airlines months before the trip and got it way cheaper than the regular price. For like around 30%-40% off.
And I have been travelling a lot with this airline so I am comfortable with them .
From Davao City to Singapore we had our luggage check thru to avoid rush once we arrived in NAIA.
Accommodation :
VIP Hotel - 2015 review
Hotel 81 Bugis- 2015 review
Bayview Hotel- My fave :)
the location is good, the food is superb, though they are quite pricey but worth it
Summer view hotel -2010- this was our 1st hotel when we went to Singapore years ago.
The location was nice since it is quite the center in Singapore, you can go around
Where to Eat: there are lots of restaurants or fastfoods there :)
Transportation:
Taxi : be mindful that there are "peak hours" means the fee is much higher.
Trains: Fast,Comfortable but quite pack sometimes, just go to any 7/11 you can buy your card there or go directly to the station.
End :)
