Advantages: Unusual, different Disadvantages: Takes half an hour to get to
Mention Singapore and the usual tourist attractions spring to mind:
Orchid Road, Sentosa, Night Safari , China town, Little India.....
What about KusuIsland??
That's something new and unusual.....
Kusuisland is very quiet thoughout the year except for the nineth month in the lunar calendar. Legend has it that a turtle turned itself into an island in order to save two drowning sailors, one chinese and one malay.
The scenery is very pretty with all the coconut trees and deep blue water surroundings. Think Sentosa without the man-made bits.
There are plenty of tortoise on the island and there is a Chinese temple and a Malay shrine on the island. There is also a market which sells 'Feng shui' goods and a food court.
To get to Kusuisland during the nineth lunar month, you can purchase tickets from Clifford Pier. A return ticket ...
Sentosa Island in Singapore is not really worth a visit if you are short on time. Although it must be said that the cable car ride to the island is quite fascinating as one gets an aerial view of the Singapore sky-line and passing ships.
The island is okay for a quick visit but is more of a mini theme park. It has a monorail running across the island from which you can see what there is to offer.

For those who have been keeping up with my Mandarin Oriental exploits then this is the third installment. Today I shall review one of Singapore?s finest five star hotels and let you into the world of Mandarin Oriental Singapore.
I have stayed at a variety of hotels in Singapore but none have come as close to the perfect stay that you get at MO. I last stayed here in 2007 when the hotel was just branded as The Oriental, however Mandarin Oriental have since renamed the property under their full brand, just to make you aware in case you read reviews on either of the properties, they are in fact the same. Just look for the ?fan? logo of the company.
I was staying in Singapore in between a trip from Malaysia to Australia and given my love for MO I knew this would be a good choice. Suffice to say I was not disappointed.
