What to do in Singapore?

What to do?
Apart from eating, shopping, drinking, sleeping and chilling by the pool, there are a number of things to do in sunny Singapore.

For instance, there's the Night Safari / Zoo, Sentosa / Mount Faber, The Botanic Gardens, Chinatown [a few temples, good eats and, at the rough end of the scale, you can always lunch with Damian], Little India – [pretty much like Tooting High Street, without the red buses), Arab Street [good for buying fabrics], Bukit Timar Nature Reserve [to work off all that food & drink!], the Singapore River/CBD/Colonial District [boat trip, touristy photos and the like], Raffles Hotel/Esplanade [posh hotel, Singapore Slings and a bit of culture], MacRitchie Reservoir [for walks, mosquitoes but plenty of monkeys]... the list is endless.

You can check out the Singapore Tourism Website for more info.

Where to stay?
We would recommend that you stay in the Orchard/CBD or Chinatown areas. We actually live in the West - just past Holland Village (bit of an expat enclave). Singapore is only the size of the Isle of Wight - so nothing is that far away!.

In terms of proximity to where we live two of the closest hotels are Orchard Hotel or Traders Hotel. Go to www.multimap.com (for Singapore) for specific hotel locations.

You can easily book accommodation for Singapore online. Good sites to try include:-
www.asiahotels.com
www.asiatravelmart.com
www.zuji.com.sg

We've booked stuff through all three.. I think Asia Hotels is best for hotels (funny that.. :-))
