Singapore Trip

[ShrewedPunter]

WTF is this sorcery?? A clean, safe, modern, beautiful, pristine city in SE Asia..

As usual… some pics from my trip with missus to Singapore.

Very very very very very nice place. It was a joy to walk around, take the MRT or catch a bus. Expensive i guess .. but there are some exceptions.

The buses and MRT are cheap. Grab cars are about the same as taking a UK taxi I guess however there’s a chance you’ll get picked up in a brand new Merc

Cheap and tasty Indian/Chinese/Malay food available in the food court style places.

My first resting place in Asia...for a year in ‘88.

Said I wouldn’t return but now I’m quite curious to see how it’s changed.

Fine pics as usual, sp. You really captured the plasticity.

Big fan of Singapore myself.

A ‘not working there’ thing. .like Chiang Rai..

15 years working there has left me with fond memories - and a very healthy CPF account....?

[aging one]

Maybe if you work. For me Singapore has done the right thing, but other than Changi there is not much there for me.

But LC knows where the hookers are there.


So there's that.

...for all the cleanliness, efficiency, excellent restaurants and artificial Dubai-type attractions that Singapore has to offer, I prefer Hong Kong, existing as it does in the shadow of the giant dragon and yet still a vibrant fascinating urban environment...smug Singaporeans remind me of US Asians living in a gated California suburb, aware that at any moment the other could breach the walls and render the citizenry refugees...

Chinese garden & turtle museum

This place is a quiet gem and a 30 minute mrt ride away.

hardly any one there

I tried to hunt down a nice pie but it was hopeless.. my last resort was Starbucks :/

[tomcat]

^...that food court is where SD had the turtle soup (fresh!) and I nearly starved to death...RIP Anthony Bourdain, but I don't need to visit it again...

Nice pics Punty... but Singapore looks a bit tame.

[Mandaloopy]

Very nice pics, always put visiting Singapore off due to false preconceived ideas about the place. It's back in the list

...don't be too hasty...

I preferred Puntys threads when he was a monger.. but at least the photos are in focus now

[Dasher]

Sing is good for 2 or 3 days then it's boring.

Give him time. Those days will return
Nice pics but HK's got miles more character

Nice pics but HK's got miles more character

...yep...

[nidhogg]

...yep...

Singapore has bags of charatacter, but you need to know where to go. Buckwheat chapatis on a sunday morning at desker road, the best duck rice in the world at South Buona Vista, Newton circus chili crab and fresh bao, Samis for fish head curry. Singapore is food. The best in the world. Bar none.

[tomcat]

...if Singapore's "character" needs to be hunted down, no thanks: the weather doesn't allow for treasure hunts...if it's not found on Clark's Quay, the hell with it...

[DJ Pat]

Anyone speak Singlish?
