Singapore Tourism - A private experience Over the last number of decades, Singapore is now one of the most popular holiday destinations of Asia. I visited Singapore in 2006 on my back from India. It turned out to be of one of the most memorable vacations that I have ever had. Unlike most of the other Asian countries Singapore is quite well organised and has an excellent transportation system. There is so much to do in this small country that i wish i was able to spend some more time there. We got our booking done from singapore airlines itself which gave us a good deal on the hotel, we stayed on the Orchard Road which is one of the main attractions of the country. Most of the high end shops, restaurants and bars are on the Orchard road itself and the nightlife is very good. We didn't do anything much on the first day since we reached the hotel by the evening.

The next day we went to Botanical Gardens also known as Orchid Garden, we took a taxi from our hotel which was very reasonable. This is an amazing place with 3000 tropical and subtropical plant species. Soon after this we took the 'SIA hop- on bus' and we stopped at almost all of the stops. This is a air conditioned bus that lets you hop on and hop off at any designated stop, this is a good way of covering most of the attractions of the country. We stopped at places like Little India, China Town, Arab Street and major shopping malls.
On the third day we went to the Sentosa Island, we booked the package at our hotel itself, so a bus picked us up in the morning and took us to a spot where we had to take electronic cable cars inorder to reach the Island. This was great fun and we got some excellent views of the Island and the nearby area. We spent one whole day on this island, some of the best thing to see and do over here are-
Underwater world, Dolphin lagoon, Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom Museum, The Merlion area and Songs Of the sea. 'Songs of the sea' is a musical fountain show that takes place in the evening when it gets a little dark, this is a must see on the Island, it was the best show that i've ever seen of this kind.
On the fourth and the last day of our stay in singapore, we spent some time shopping on the Orchard road. There is so much to see and do in this place that four days were just not enough. Some of the must do and see things in Singapore are - Jurong Bird Park, The Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, Singapore boat ride.
