City of Western Asia

by yumi53 - last update: Jun 27, 2006

Great food with Crazy Orchard Shopping Malls!!

Me @ the lion City
Visited this lion city with my co-worker. It's very easy to get around by MRT, just as always, it needs lots of walking.
But, gernerally, Singapore, very international city, fairly clean in most of the areas, and very safe for travelers. Problems when I was there were their account (they call "Singlish) and the weather.
Probably because I'm more used to standard English (American), and I am not native speaker. Understand their speaking isn't very easy for me. So, mostly, I talked to them in Mandarin. haha. yeah yeah, they speak Mandarin too.
The weather was way too hot for me. sticky hot. ;-( just like where I'm from. I guess that's why most of the girls there don't really put makeup on, cuz it will melt anyway.

*Brief Info of Singapore*
Weather: HOT all the time
Transportation: MRT. Taxi. Buses. Motorcycles (hard ones more)
Language: English. Mandarin. Indian (lots of them)
