Soul-Searching in Singapore Thread II !!!

[windblown]

hi windblown! travelling alone especially to another country is very liberating. when i travelled alone to SG, wala naman akong na-encounter na problem with the IOs, maybe because i've been there several times already & baka may bearing na may ibang tatak din from other countries ang passport which could mean na traveller ka talaga & you're not planning to be a TNT. If wala pang ganong tatak ang passport mo, i suggest you bring na rin a letter of invitation para may peace of mind ka. enjoy!!! we might bump into each other, i'm also visiting SG on same dates, treat ko sa mama ko.

Thank you, Im still working on my Itinerary basta nasa list ko na dapat kong gawin is to eat and eat roti prata, eto pinaka na miss ko sa Singapore, sobrang authentic ng lasa, ang dami ko na rin natiman ng mga so called indian restaurant dito sa Pilipinas pero ang layo ng lasa eh..

Ang hassle lang siguro sakin eh yung pagkuha ng picture, I still need to ask a local to take my pictures..

Question lang sa mga Soul Searchers dito (HK addicts kasi sa HK thread haha) If I want to have internet connection for 3 days. Advisable ba bumili ng local SIM sa SG? unlimited internet na ba yun and how much kaya aabutin? or pwede na maki wifi na lang ako

Another Question yung *Wild Birthday Surprises - FREE admission for all birthday boys or girls of all ages* sa Night Safari and Singapore Zoo eh Applicable din kaya sa mga Foreigners? kung applicable eh move ko na lang sa birthday ko yung visit ko sa zoo =))

Thank you!

Hello Pexers.
Anyone po in SG or has been to SG lately?

Tanong ko lang po kung magkano po ang current exchange rate ng Peso and SGD sa Tampines Mall?
My friend po kasi ako na pumunta doon ng noong November and nasa P29.50 raw po ang palitan.
Magkano na po kaya ngayon?

Or kung hindi man sa Tampines, how about sa Lucky Plaza? Ano po ang exchange rate?

Salamat po in advance sa mga sasagot.

Guys,

Hope you could entertain my questions :

1.) Does Universal Studios still have their $5 entrance every Friday and Saturday afternoon?

2.) Connected ba Harbour front to Vivo city?

3.) Walking distance ba Orchard road to Botanical Garden?

4.) Is the $1 entrance to Sentosa Boardwalk already 2-way? Is it open even on night time?

5.) Do I need one day to explore Sentosa or half day is enough?

Thanks again!

1. Yes, pero check mo sa website yung schedule. Sa July ata meron.
2. Yes
3. Hindi ata, Bus or MRT
4. Yes, pwede $1 papasok, monorail pabalik. 24 Hours bukas yung boardwalk.
5. Kaya naman. Pero kung iikutin niyo talaga lahat at susubukan niyo mga attraction, baka mas maganda whole day para hindi nag mamadali.

Hi. When we were in SG last may 31 the exchange rate sa Lucky Plaza was 33-34 php = 1 SGD. Sa bugis area it was 34.48 php. Dito sa pinas before we left last May 28, it was 34.60 php. Hope this helps.

Hi! Sharing our recent trip to SG, last May 11, 2012. USS - Sentosa - Luge - Songs of the Sea

3.) Walking distance ba Orchard road to Botanical Garden?

Hi! I think you have to take a cab from Orchard road going to the Botanical Garden, that's what my parents did, better to ask directions from the front-desk/receptionist at your hotel

[green_archer]

If anyone is planning to go to Singapore and Malaysia, I'd like to share my post on a 6-day personally planned itinerary. You may check out my blog posts about it, which includes hotel, transpo, etc:

Singapore-Malaysia in a Breeze (Part 2) - http://www.glennong.com/2010/09/sing...ze-part-2.html



I've also posted about Master Crab, which is definitely a must try! The link is at http://www.glennong.com/2012/05/sing...b-seafood.html



And my most recent post about Singapore is where I stayed - it's called Oasia Hotel located in Novena. The hotel's location and amenities are good! You may read about it at http://www.glennong.com/2012/06/sing...in-novena.html

No, hindi walking distance. You can take a bus or cab, no MRT. If bus, go to any bus stop in Orchard Boulevard and check mo anong bus ang may stop na "OPP S'PORE BOTANIC GDNS". Un ang pde mo sakyan. You can also ask the driver kung dadaan ba sila dun. Or, take the easier way, take a cab.

pwede mo naman ipapalit yung name pero may bayad yun. tawag ka sa hotline ng Airphil. pag pwede ipapalit, hanap kana agad ng buyer tapos tawag ka ulit sa Airphil at ipapalit mo yung names sa tickets. tanong mo narin kung pwede ilagay nalang sa travel fund, pero ang alam ko kasi hindi pwede maconvert pag promo eh kaya tanong mo narin.
