Uniquely Singapore


Snapshots from what was a first holiday for us in 2 years of married life. Loved the place and the lifestyle - fast and organized (when I look at from the 'chalta hai' Hyderabadi perspective). The place is awesomely touristy - information is available everywhere and anywhere. We had a very unique objective when we planned this vacation - we would travel only by the train or bus. No cabs or taxis!. The bus routes and the train schedule was so easy to understand that we did not find it difficult to acheieve it. 


My top a-ha moments (not in any particular order) in Singapore which made the time off worthwhile - 
1. Luge and Sky ride at Sentosa - for someone who has fear of speed and fear of heights, this is BIG! 
2. Getting down at the wrong station on our first train ride - almost breaking our objective of not taking a cab and finding the correct way very soon.
3. Kopitiam - trying out different kinds of cuisine everyday - Japanese food, you are not for me! 
4. Walk across Clarke Quay at night - beautiful lights all across. 
5. Discovering that chewing gum was banned in Singapore!! 
6. The 'you-may-now-cross-the-road' signal. I found it super cool.
