I decided to put together a condensed version of what you can look forward to when you visit Singapore. As I said before it is a very central country so lots of stop overs are possible to make your holiday even more cost effective and adventurous. The information is based on what we have done so far and also plan to do on our list of interesting places. You can get more information on the websites and also on my map on the blog.
Obviously our friends and family have the added benefit of staying at the "world famous" Cilliers Bungalow for a nickel and a dime. Full writeup to follow once it is up and running in September and off course your entertainment include the renowned personal chef and funny man the host himself, Eviltwin. Please remember to bring along some good South African Dry white wine to ensure you get the maximum entertainment. So here goes not in any particular order;
World class shopping and dining experience as discussed in previous post and more to come.
Visit China Town and Little India (Food and Cheaper Shopping)
A must visit to the awesome Marina Bay Sands (Hotel, Shopping and Casino)

All this and much more in a very safe, clean exhilarating city with a modern and efficient transport infrastructure and excellent weather. Do not visit from November to January. It is monsoon and lots of rain according to the locals.
Hell, it sound like a work for the Singapore Tourism Board.
Honestly, you have to have this visit on your Bucket List. Do not leave without having the famous Chilli Crab and visit as many Food Courts and Hawkers Centers as possible to enjoy all the local food Singaporean's love.
If this post does not entice you, nothing will.
Hello Eviltwin.
