Awesome Singapore Adventure




Situated 1486.24 MM miles north east off the coast of the Philippines lies the country of Singapore, approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes of flight time from the Philippines, is a very clean and organized city with a very diverse culture.


Singapore has a population of Approximately 5.18 million people. The country boasts of numerous tourist destinations, good food, and shopping malls for people from all walks of life. You’ll never have a hard time communicating with them since they can speak and understand English.  Getting around The city was very easy since the railway system is straight forward, and easy to understand.  


These are my top 5 to do list when in Singapore.  


1. Orchard Road. This is a must go for shopaholics. The road is like the “Shopping Capital of Singapore” filled with shopping malls that make you just want to keep on walking.  You’ll find luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Channel, Gucci, and Hermes. But don’t think that Orchard road is only for the rich people, it also has stores such as Forever 21, HNM, and cotton on which have beautiful clothing and other fashion accessories at affordable prices.

2. Gmax reverse bungy and Gx-5 extreme swing. This is a ride designed in New Zealand. It is located at  Clarke Quay. It has a 100% safety record for over 1,000,000 jumps. It shoots you up 60 meters in the air with speeds of over 200 kilometers per hour. It is the first of its kind in Singapore and it’s definitely a must try!!!

3.  Santosa Island. Sentosa, Asia’s favorite playground, is accessible via the MRT from Vivo City Shopping mall or a cable car ride.  A day won’t be enough if you wish to explore the island. It offers a wide range of entertainment and shows, as well as celebrity chef restaurants, brand-name boutiques and a half-kilometer long shopping and dining Strip.


 
You can have an adrenaline rush while riding the Luge. This ride is similar to a skateboard except you are seated down and you control your ride with the steering wheel. At the end of the Luge, it will bring you to the famous Siloso beach in Sentosa. Take a swim with Sentosa’s 3.2km stretch of sandy shores with the Hip Siloso and the tranquil Tanjong or get entertained with Sentosa’s Songs of the Sea, a musical show with beautiful water effects, and pyrotechnic effects that's along the beach after sun down.

Your visit to Sentosa won’t be complete without going to Universal Studios! Universal Studios Singapore’s grand opening was held on May 2011. It has tons of beautiful sights, shows, and exciting rides as well.

4. Singapore’s Merlion.  It stands just in front of The Fullerton Hotel fronting Marina Bay. The fish body represents Singapore's origin as a fishing village when it was called Temasek, which means "sea town"  while the lion head represents Singapore's original name Singapura meaning "lion city" or "kota singa".

5. Singaporean food you won’t enjoy Singapore experience without tasting its famous Chili crab and cereal prawn.  No Signboard Seafood Restaurant located just along Raffles Avenue serves the beast Chili crab and cereal prawn in town. You get to enjoy your meal while looking at the magnificent view of the famous Merlion.
