Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

Some of you who are planning a trip to Singapore during the early weeks of February will no doubt have discovered that only expensive air tickets to Singapore are available, starting from the last week of January. You are the lucky few, as more people will not have been able to locate air tickets on most airlines to Singapore.

I chanced upon this list of fun facts about Singapore from the Uniquely Singapore website. With these, you can impress your hotel concierge, local hosts or unsuspecting locals!

My recent battle with the common cold and cough brings to mind another topic that travellers are concerned about when they visit other countries - the availability and cost of quality healthcare.

Travellers to Singapore will find that the standard of healthcare provided by practitioners here is world-class - our hospitals are well-equipped and well-prepared to handle all kinds of emergencies and accidents. The hospitals also have Outpatient Clinics that operate ...

Take a walk along Orchard Road from now until Christmas Day and experience stage performances by local and foreign artistes interpreting the theme of 'Christmas, It's all about Love' in their items.

Additionally, an interactive Christmas village is located near Plaza Singapura, where the birth of Jesus Christ will be re-enacted in a short skit.

Apologies for the silence on the blog - I have been down with a severe cold since last Wednesday. As I type this, the remnants of a cough pop up every 15 to 20 minutes, a reminder of the last leg of my battle with the virus that strikes numerous persons during the year end.

Many people in Singapore get the cold near the year end. Unlike temperate countries, we do ...

Terminal 3 is open to the public from 10am to 5pm on weekdays, and from 9am to 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays until December 9. The last entrance to its Transit Mall is 4.30pm on weekdays, ...

There are several museums in Singapore worth exploring. My personal favourites are the Asian Civilisations Museum II and the Singapore Art Musuem for the engaging and interesting exhibitions that are constantly held here.

Of course, the other museums in Singapore also have interesting exhibitions and collections that warrant a visit. They chart the cultural, social, artistic and historic growth of our island country.

As an added incentive for enticing you to check ...

This is an edited entry that was originally posted on my personal blog. I think the explanation I have given about the Singaporean culture is helpful for visitors to the island country.
