Singapore Things to Do Tips by NukeDoc

If you visit Singapore and have not seen Night Safari then you have seen nothing. It is one of the unique things you can do. Take a cab or a bus to mandai zoo and get the tickets. It is a bit expensive but worth every dime. A small train would take you around the zoo with some nice running commentary about the animals. The lighting is superb and feels more like a moonlit night than artificial light. There is no feeling of cages and the animals appear so free to roam around. You can walk also which is a better way to see the animals.

Singapore has a sprawling downtown and business district with some high buildings. It is best seen from a distance where you can see the backdrop. Best place for this view is the Benjamin Sheers Bridge - but as it is difficult to approach, Esplanade is also a good place for the view

The gateway to SIngapore, the first impression, the convinience and warmth of Singapore - all of it is reflected in the Changi airport. It is a city within the city and is self contained. Due to high volume of transit passengers Changi airport has been made not only comfortable but also enjoyable. There are nooks and corners in the airport which make you feel that you are out in the nature rather than a closed space.

Sri Mariamman Temple is the oldest of Singapore's Hindu religious buildings. It is dedicated to the goddess Mariamman who is known for her power in curing epidemic illness and diseases. It is located in the heart of Chinatown. It was founded by a Penangian - Naraina Pillai - in 1819. It is a nice place to visit - even if you are not a follower of the Hindu faith.

In our younger days we saw a Pakistani movie that was shot in Singapore. It showed a fight sequence and a song / dance (what do you expect from a Pakistani / Hindi movie) at the towering slides of the big splash. Since then I associated Singapore with the big splash and dreamt of singing a song (without a heroine) on these slides :) .. well now it is a neglected corner of east coast park. The water is dirty, the slides are not well maintained and very few people dare to go there. Better to avoid it - unless you have seen the same movie.
