Travel Tips 101 for Singapore Tourists

Image
I really want to be as prepared as I can be when I get o Singapore...So I have been searching for travel tips every time I don't get caught up with my Fan Fic Reading...Here is some of the tips I got... Do: a. Pack for very hot, very humid weather. That is, wear light woven cottons and open toed shoes. However, do bring a sweater and one pair of long trousers in case you are going into an indoor area with very cold air-con (eg, movie theaters, restaurants) b. Bring a camera. c. Bring sunscreen d. Bring a small umbrella (but you can buy one off the street if you don't want to carry one). hahaha...It's really a must... e. Bring $$$, rather than stuff f. Travel light you can get anything you want there. g. Go to the Bugis Market at night it's awesome and cheap t-shirts among other things. h. Do not take a taxi from the Airport, the subway is right downstairs and costs about $1.50 to the city. Don'ts: f. Don't expect an exotic destination. ...

In a less than a week's time, I will be in a foreign land with the company of my friends who will watch the Best Show on Earth. This will be the first time that I will be traveling outside of my country. At first I was really hesitant of doing this, but when I finally realized how much this means to me (with the help of a good friend), fear has disappeared in my vocabulary. I pray that this will be a good trip, that I may be able to explore a lot of places and see a lot of people. I pray that we will be safe and have the best time of our lives... 5 days more to a Promise of a Lifetime Happiness!!!
