Singapore 04

Day 3
Sentosa, Holland Village, Orchard Road, Fullerton Singapore Hotel, Singapore River, Boat Quay, Buggis Street, Changhi International Airport



Sentosa is another major tour site in Singapore. It is simply a small island that has some nice beaches and some tourist seawater shows, such as the dolphin show, aquarium, and the night water show. As for me, of course I decided to skip all of this. The weather was really pretty, but the humid wind kept me stop:this was Southeast Asia. There weren't a lot of people cause it was during the day time and a weekday. But this is one of the places young people like to hangout, though they may grow tired of it as time passes. Limited land: limited entertainment. Furthermore, as this place becomes more and more touristic, the more faster its real taste of this place seem to disappear. In fact, because there are few different beaches, the ones that the local go and the touristic people go are different. I think I liked the local ones much comfortable.

If you do not know much about Singapore, well, this is one thing you should start to look into. Singapore is well known for its strict regulations, and this is one example you could see in every subway. No eating and no smoking are signs that we see common, but a $500 or a $1000 fine for during such an error! Ahem. I don't think you ever want to mess around with their laws. Not a happy economical ending.

Another traditional Singaporean dish: Laksa!

Economy is one branch in Singapore, and shopping is another. Orchard Road is the place that most locals and foreigners visit frequently. The endless shopping mall and endless restaurants defiantly look fancy and nice. I mean this is the place that most of my Singaporean girl friends like to hang out, or say that they do. And I think I understand now seeing it. Still, I couldn't resist myself from noticing how there are the same stores in every shop. Hum, so whats the point of shopping in Shop number one, then shop number two if its under the same brand? Maybe different workers?

Fullerton Singapore Hotel: now this is a place that has a bit of history and fanciness. Raffles hotel was one wow, this place is just three and four times more that.
