Last Day In Sigapore

I am very pleased that my first impressions of Singapore being a shopping mall paradise

have some what diminished as I managed to get about and observe the beautiful sites
that this amazing city brings together with the shopping package.

Be aware, though, Singapore is not a place for the totally liberal minded person. No chewing gum, no eating on the trains. You have to be a model citizen in Singapore!
All that said, Singapore has its own modern beauty and, complementing the high-rise buildings, and busy roads, the botanic gardens are to be found in the heart of the city.

Except for the shopping, the four major attractions are:

1. Sentosa Island (10 minutes train ride).

Sentosa beach for chillin, Sentosa Imbiah for a nice walk and spectacular views...

2. Botanic Gardens.

Check out the orchids and amazingly well preserved tropical plants ...

3. Crab restarant.

We had white pepper and chilli crab at the restaurant "No Signbord" in Vivo.

4. Zoo. Night Safari (the world's first night safari).

Unfortunately no photos could be taken during the night safari as flash lights would have disturbed the sensitive animals.

Indeed Singapore is not just shopping malls.

However, shopping is high on the list of priorities for most people visiting and, well, this photo just about sums it up ...

My next stop is Syndey, where I'll be discovering new Aikido friends
and exploring the natural beauties over there. Until the next post!
