Advantages: Lots to see and do Disadvantages: Long way to go
...Singapore is a fantastic city to visit. There is so much to see, do, buy and experience that it can be difficult to fit it all in!
The Chinese market is a trip not to miss, particularly at night when all the stalls and surrounding shops are lit up. The range of items to buy here is incredible, and if you’re looking for a tacky present for a ‘loved’ one, this is the place to buy it!
One of the organised day trips that I went on whilst in Singapore was a trip that incorporates the Singapore Museum and Raffles Hotel. The Singapore Museum and coach trip around Singapore were okay, but the visit to Raffles Hotel made the whole day worth it.

Advantages: wide range of shopping centres, high technology, convenient transport Disadvantages: high expenses, bad customer services.
...I am now in Singapore and have stayed in this island for around 2 years. Singapore is a small island with only 600++ Km square. Anyway, Singapore is governed well and have a nice politic, economic and social system. It is a safe place to travel or visit.

There are alot of shopping malls and centres for residents and visitors. Anyway, the expenses in Singapore is very high especially in service sections. Addition, the customer services provided from the staff of shops in Singapore are not very satisfactory and need to improve further. It is also a good place for travel. Have fun with it....

I have stayed in a few Singapore hotels, and generally the standard is extremely good, so I was surprised to be so disappointed with The Miramar. I chose it because I was on a stopover and got a cheap deal. As I have seen the sights of Sing before,... more
