Most everyone has heard of Tiger Balm ointment, right?
Did you know that it is made right here in Singapore.
It may well be Singapore's most famous contribution to world health.
It is made with only natural ingredients and now sold all over the world.
Every time we visit Singapore we discover something new.
Sure you can shop til you drop but there are parks, temples, Little India, Chinatown, Singapore River, Sentosa, many many restaurants, you will not get bored here. |
|  | Animals roaming about This may come as another surprise to you.
Singapore has tigers, elephants, and orangutans roaming about freely.
Day or night you can see all these animals and many more at the Singapore Zoological Gardens.
I have been to many zoos in my time but you will not find a better one than they have here. If you want to see this tiger when he is awake, go to the night safari. |
Creature I bet you have never seen a merlion before either.
This 11 story mythological, half fish half lion, creature is the official mascot of Singapore.
It now stands near the Esplande, Theatres on the Bay, where it sprouts water from its mouth.. | | |

Jurong Bird Park and the Botanical Garden sound like great places to slip away from the throngs in Singapore--you must have had a wonderful time in this exciting city! |
