I sat in the departure lounge for two hours. Bought 200 cigars, thinking theywere cigarettes and lost my plane ticket due to being rather inebriated.

I hope this helps.

None of my questions answered yet

Yes.

Not gonna be much help. Stayed there for 2 days before going onto Bali and was completely jet lagged for the whole time I was there. Cab ride from the airport was about 20 mins, it was complimentary so couldnt tell you a cost, but everything is bloody expensive. Oh and dont litter or spit cos they will chop your knob off for anything like that.

I spent 24 hours there a couple of months back. Cab to the city centre was about 20 mins... most hotels/tour operators throw this in for nowt.

Walked around, looked at a couple of Hindu and Chinese temples... went to the shops along Orchard Road where I bought at least 600 quid's worth of digital camera gear for half that price.

Found a decent enough asian-style cafeteria on Orchard Road for dinner. It was packed with locals: I had a big meal of seafood and noodles and fruit for afters and it came to about four pounds. Was going to have a suit made there (they're dirt cheap) but didn't have time in the end.

Didn't enquire about hookers, as my mum was with me and she may not have been that impressed.

Oh, and I've never had a cock check. But then I'm not a slag.

Yep, know it like the back of my hand.

Excellent food everywhere, even the street hawkers. it's all safe as well due to the very strict regulations.

Go to Lucky Plaza on orchard St to barter a cheap price for the latest electrical gizmo; quality.

Ride the cable car over to Sentosa Island.

Go to the zoo & have a pic taken with the Orang Utans. They sit next to you & put an arm around you, it's brilliant.

If you've got a few quid have a Singapore Sling in Raffles Hotel. If not, have a Tiger Beer down at Yishun food market. Or anywhere for that matter.

Any girl could shop till she dropped in Orchard Road, really good.

No Ki-ties down Bugis St anymore; all cleaned up. (If you know what I'm talking about then you're probably an ex-matelot who's knocking on a bit.....like me!)

Spent a month there about 10 yerars ago. Went to Singapore's first FA Cup final and the league play offs the week before. Security was tight as you can see, I could of walked off with all three trophies.

Its only the size of the Isle Of Wight. Things to do Orchard Road for shops, you must have a Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel, night safari is supposed to be good (didn't go myself), Boat Quay for alfresco food by (man made) river, Clarke Quay for more food and small shops, take the cable car to Sentosa Island for musical fountains and old fort

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I'm in Singapore right now

 

[Trufflehound]

Excellent food everywhere, even the street hawkers. it's all safe as well due to the very strict regulations.

Yup, agree with that.

Sod the rest of it. Just spend your entire stay eating, going from one Hawker Centre to another. It's what Singapore was designed for...

 

[watsongooal]

I worked there for 2 weeks, and really enjoyed it, so many shopping malls you wouldnt believe it!

 

[Ccider]

HOT

 

[eastlondonseagull]

It's hot. And sweaty. But beautifully chilled on the tubes

 

[byf]

Clubbing or women easily available?

Going to be there about a week..is it cheap to stay?

Spent a few days there in 2003 on the way home from Sabah. Very nice city, not as clinically clean as I had expected, just very tidy.

Lots of things to do, I went to Changi (very emotional experience), night safari at zoo (excellent, go round the wrong way to avoid Japanese tourists who frighten all the animals, you will know what I mean if you do go), walk round China town which is the oldest part of the city, go to a tea house and have lunch on the quayside, Indian part of the city for electrical items, bought an I-pod before anyone had really heard of them, Chijmes for a free jazz performance in the afternoon and Raffles is a must for lunch (they have a minimum dress code, best to ask the doorman for advice and to avoid embarassment).

Enjoy Singapore, it really is a good example of how several cultures can co-exist in harmony.
