hello Cerise;

few Weeks in singapore ?!?!??! I think a max of 5 days will be more then enough to cover Singapore. It's not really cheap like the other countries in SE Aisa, Everything is double Malaysia. Why dont you go to Singapore for 3 -5 days and spend the rest travelling around Malaysia ?!

I have to agree with Ray.

We spent 10 days in Singapore over Christmas and New Year a couple of years ago. It is a lovely place and very interesting. There are some good museums (particularly if you are interesting in learning about the Japanese occupation during the 2nd World War) and the zoo and the night safari are a must. However, I would consider two weeks an absolute maximum. It is just a city on an island. It isn't a country that you need to travel around. You would base yourself in one hotel/hostel and then explore the surrounding area.

And it isn't cheap. We paid £21 night for a double room with a shared bathroom. Compared to £4 a night in Thailand and £10 a night in Malaysia.

Hi Stuart

What exactly do you mean? Is it easy to use Singapore as a base to visit other places, or is it easy to move on to other places in SE Asia from Singapore?

singapore is very busy and i find malaysia the same but with less comfort. look at maybe going to one of the islands in malaysia. they have beaches that sing defently dont have. i go to sibu island quite often with friends. just 2hours from singapore. the tansport is arranged for your from sing, which is heaven sent, and the resort we stay, sea gypsy, is great fun. the staff are frantastic fun and the beach is just to die for, even coming from australia myself. diving is also prety good if your looking at doing something different! we stay at sea gypsy, and if your lucky the owner might even be there which means free flow alcohol all night :) crazy fun!

There is a lot to do in Singapore. You could comfortably fill a week there. It's also very easy to cross into Malaysia from there. Malaka is only a couple of hours by bus, and Kuala Lumpur is a couple of hours further on. So if you wanted you could do a side trip.

Or there are some budget airlines that fly out of Singapore, Tiger Airways being one. If there is somewhere else you are dying to see, you could consider a short return flight somewhere.

If you fancy the Malaysia idea, there isn't really any need to plan it too much before you go. You can land in Singapore, see how long it takes you to explore and then catch a bus into Malaysia if you fancy a change. We didn't book the bus to Malaka in advance, we just turned up and jumped on one.

i think as long as you can afford to stay and eat in a hotel why not, though it's cheap to stay there as long as you have enough money you can stay there.
