Singapore


Singapore is an Asian island city-state well known for its fantastic food, people and bright night life. No matter what hour of the day there 
will always be something to do and somewhere to eat in the beautiful island of Singapore!


Activities
The airport will most probably be your first stop if you’re from a non-neighboring country is Singapore. The airport in itself however, is amazing! It is considered to be one of the best airports in the world with many stores, restaurants, pools and even an aquarium. You think that sounds amazing there is so much more and to think this is only a glimpse of the greatness this country has to offer you on your stay. There are massive shopping centres, with hundreds of branded stores you might not have access to in your home country so you should most definitely take advantage of that!

Performers, food, and people are what make the best memories! The night life is Singapore is something truly phenomenal. Here is Australia majority of the country is lights out by 11pm! In Singapore this is not the case, you will see friends, families, couples and just individual people walking around in the early hours of the morning laughing, eating good food and just enjoying the atmosphere. If you are planning on going to Singapore I would most definitely encourage you to embrace everything this country has to off, you will make great friends and great memories.

Accommodation


In Singapore they have a lot of high quality resorts, hotels, motels you name it! If you are planning on only staying for a little while and maybe just for the weekend I would highly recommend staying at a hotel close if not in the Airport! It is close, convenient and you are surrounded by all these fantastic facilities literally minutes away from your room (BY FOOT!)

Food
No matter what part of the day, no matter where you are in Singapore, you will always be surrounded by fantastic food stall and restaurants! I would highly, highly recommend checking out most if not ALL of the stalls you come by. The foods they make are usually passed from generation to generation. If you’re looking for unique and tasty you should definitely check these stalls out and experience the talents of these people.
Singaporean foods (partly inspired from other countries) of this fantastic country that I just love, these include:
  • Bak kut teh – a pork rib soup with a variety of Chinese herbs and spices
  • Hainanese chicken rice – chicken flavoured rice with a steamed chicken, accompanied by ginger paste, dark soy sauce and chilli sauce. Also with cucumbers.
  • Char kway theow – Stir- fried flat white noodles with soy sauce (light and dark) with meat, vegetable.
  • Wontons – usually a meaty(pork mince and prawns) dumpling
  • Kaya toast – Coconut custard jam on toast or plain bread makes a phenomenal snack
