Singapore is like the new Hong Kong for Filipinos. Seems like it is a very popular family destination since Universal Studios opened. To me, I like it, the place is clean, organized and very disciplined. Though just like the Philippines, the weather is hot. It was a good thing we took the city tour on a bus 🙂 We saw the whole city ( which is just as big as Subic Bay ) in half a day and we learned a lot from our tour guide. I always like doing this so I could get a feel of what there is to do and see and then from there choose specific places you would like to visit individually.
Our first stop was the Botanical Gardens. As they say, Singapore is the Garden City. A city with many beautiful greens all over
If you love orchids, do not miss this
“Over 1000 species and 2,000 hybrids are now found in the Gardens’ collection, with about 600 species and hybrids on display.”

Though the bus was moving fast I took plenty shots of windows 🙂 French windows!! Love the ones with carvings and colors
Hindu temples
Indian Town
Our tour guide said that these places are good places to buy electronics at good prices, but of course it’s always good to bargain and still canvass before pricing just like anywhere else
The famous Raffles Hotel, I always see it but have never been inside. One day….
Feng Shui area – the bus took us around 3 times around this fountain for GOOD LUCK 🙂 got a bit dizzy…. and no we did not go to the casino after this 🙂
The Singapore Flyer
This is my favorite view for the moment -the bus took us to the Esplanade and outside it, you can see this view of the new Marina Sands
Up close
on the right is this view
more views from the bus
Chinatown
Clark Quay where you can choose from a wide variety of restaurants and dine and a very active night life with all the bars. Not one type of cuisine is repeated
