Blogs from Siloso Beach, Sentosa Island, Singapore, Asia

Today I wanted to go back to orchard but I decided to leave that to tomorrow, so today I decided to go to sightseeing around Singapore. One of the main tourist’s attractions in Singapore is the white lion statue. The white lion statue spits water out of its mouth. I also got to see the dragon fountain, a I went to the Jurong Bird Park, which was beautiful, there were millions of birds and I even got to hold one. After that I went to Kent Ride Park, which is a 47 hectare, park that has the most magnificent views of the off-shore islands such as the Pulau Duran Darat. It was really peaceful at the park it was lovely because Singapore is a really busy place and the park is the only place in Singapore ... read more

My next day in Singapore, was also really hot, I decided I would go the universal studios. After I had breakfast and got ready it was 10:30am. I got in taxi, but to get to universal studios, I had to go to Sentosa, Island, which was a far drive from my hotel. About a 2 hour drive. When I arrived the queue was quiet long. The theme park was split into 7 parts; far far away, the lost world, ancient Egypt, sci-fi city, New York, Hollywood and Madagascar. I decided to go to Hollywood first because it was the closest. The Hollywood zone replicates the beautiful buildings of the 1940. When I was in “Hollywood” I watched the live Broadway performance called “Monstrocity” at the Pantages theatre. The streets of “Hollywood” are also lined with unique ... read more

Saturday was spent on Sentosa Island just off the southern end of Singapore. We travelled across to the island via the Jewel Cable Car which we jumped on at Faber Hill which takes you into the center of Santosa. Santosa is a entertainment Center with attractions such as Universal Studios, Underwater Aquarium, Sky tower, gGolf course and Hotels. We started our day with a dip in the sea at Silso Beach before heading to the Underwater Aquarium. It seams that the trend of ramming as many people as you can into a small area is not just promoted by the likes of Chesington and Thorpe park as we could hardly move or see half the tanks due to the massive crowds. Did get close to dolphins after show but typically camera battery died. The kids did ... read more

Singapore, though small perfectly formed. It most impressed upon my mind utill present. Three years ago, I went to Singapore with friends to do business investigation. By the way, I visit the Sentosa Island. It is a good place to recommend. There, we can visit the Insect Museum and among of all, butterfly samples were appealled to me. It's said Singapore Insect Museum is the largest one in Asia. Waxworks Museum displays series of the waxworks all different stages about Singapore History. From there, we can learn some the war history about the country. Music Conduit, Flame Mountain, Submarine World are situated in and near around Sentosa. So we could spend whole day time there if we would like. Another place is Little India. Along the Serangoon road to Little India, we could see a lot ... read more
