There’s Never a Dull Moment in Singapore
Singapore is anything but boring, there’s a great melting pot of Malay, Chinese, Western and Indian cultures, ingredient that adds to a unique rich, diverse stew, making the claims that Singapore is a sterile utopia and a dull city to be an extreme exaggeration. Yes, the trains run on time and are graffiti free, the traffic jams never happen and everyone you see looks wholesome and clean-cut, but isn’t that exactly the kind of place you want to visit? A place where chaos, poverty and pollution is a thing of the past? It’s a fantastic vacation spot!
The food is mouthwatering, and is one of the best reason’s to come to Singapore. The hawker centre alone is worth writing home about; it’s the best place to get the best in Asia delights. Pull up a wooden chair, crack open a Tiger beer and allow yourself to be immersed in a stupendous range of outdoor cuisine and culture; heavy in flavor, light on your wallet and eye stimulating beyond description. Don’t be surprised to see a hawker torching a huge pig head, preparing it for sale; the torching is to remove the facial hair of the pig’s head, which will sell for around $12 US, and is a great bargain. Today, only traditionalist buy the head as part of a temple offering.
If you have a little more to spend, all the better! Singapore has the best Southeast Asia’s shopping hands down, for example: All the stores on Orchard Street , offers any tourist a class act and an aire of opulence. You can’t step outside of your hotel in Singapore without passing by a great restaurant, really! Step inside any restaurant and you’ll get the best tasting dishes, with the best service, and it doesn’t matter what part of Singapore your in either, all the food establishments and eateries offers great cuisine for even the hard to please.
But, Singapore isn’t all about food and shopping, there’s plenty of outdoor activities, like water sports, walking tours, cycling, going to the museums, or checking out any art gallery, because Singapore’s government has helped create a thriving art scene, plus the government promotes Singapore as an art hub. If you’re in need of respite, head for the center of the island and you’ll step into a leafy forest where you’ll hear the noise of chattering monkeys and other wildlife. This is just the tip of the iceberg for things to do in Singapore, there’s literally so much to do here, that you’ll want to come back for another visit.
