Blogs from Sentosa Island, Singapore, Asia - page 6

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

Rest day today, or so I thought. I planned on doing nothing but read a book by the pool. I was given a free pass to use the public transport system for 3 days, so I thought I would give it a burl. On the way to the bus stop, I found a bushwalk. Now I couldnt pass that up, so headed off. After half an hour I found myself at the monorail station, hopped on to see where it went. All roads (rail in this case) lead to shopping centres. Something they do right in my opinion - empty an international tourists wallet by giving them a free pass to get to shops. Poked around for a bit then headed back on the monorail to the Beach and walked along it til i was back ... read more

Met up with the German girls from the tour for a day trip to Singapore’s Sentosa island, a reclaimed island built in the 60’s. I think its Singapore’s only decent beach as everyone advised us to visit it. We took the bottomless cable car across to the island. It was more expensive than the normal cable car by £1 and meant we didn’t have to queue. We sat on the man-made beach for a couple of hours in the sun. The water was so polluted I didn’t swim and the 19 oil tankers I counted in the close distance put me off a bit. The island was ok, don’t think I will pay it another visit though. That evening I met up with the other girls from the tour and the tour guide again (even though ... read more

Photos were taken on the 26th of October 2007. We spent the day in Sentosa Island; we went to Underwater World. This aquarium seems better than the ones in Melbourne & Sydney. We also went to Dolphin Lagoon & watched the dolphin show. In the afternoon, we made our way back to the city & got ready for our trip to the Night Safari. Everything inside the zoo was expensive (no surprises there) so we decided not to eat there. We made our way to Lau Pa Sat by taxi & ate at one of the hawker stands. We also tried the carrot cake, no traces of carrots at all! Now let my photos do the talking.... read more
