what's in singapore?
 

anything?
I'm going there for 2 nights... what should I see?

Asian people.

Fuck all

yeah figured as much... cheapo electronics though eh?

Oh big ass christmass light up also going on.
A pretty cool obelisk if you like those type of things.
Lau Pa Sat is cool if you like old buildings made of filigre cast iron.
Also can enjoy some dining way the fuck up like 70 stories or so for a great view.

Umm when ya going?

Yeah plenty of fake goods and some ladyboys as well :)

yeah not into ladyboys.. I thought there was no real big sex industry in singapore?

I'll be there next monday...
going to san fran for the weekend and then to singapore for monday/tuesday fly wednesday

Just stock up on all the fake rolexes then and sell them when you get back :winkwink:

Singapore Tip #1: Take taxis everywhere, they're very cheap, and it's better than walking in all the heat and humidity.

ok keep the tips coming ;)

where will i find all of this cheapo crap?

Singapore Tip #2: There is a super happy fun park on Sentosa Island. Go on the luge thing and terrorize little kids and parents.

Im pretty sure the cheapo crap will find you.

General Asia Tip #1: For some reason, even the smallest collection of shops will be called a "mall" or "shopping center" giving the false impression that there might be something interesting to see inside them. There probably isn't.

You could have 3 boring shops together in a building and it will be called "The Super Happy Lucky Mall Shopping Center!"

So if you see something that says "Shopping Mall" there's an 80% chance it's a waste of time, unless you enjoy seeing a dry cleaners, shoe repair, and a mobile phone accessories shop.

i had the option of staying there for only 9 hours as well.. should I take that option?

What time does everything close at?

Singapore Tip #3: The Little India area is interesting for about 10 minutes, then you will probably begin choking on the over abundance of incense and will get annoyed by all the shopkeepers trying to get you to buy some crap you don't need or want.

I think they gots lectricity.

I think 2 days in Singapore is good.

Singapore Tip #4: Boat Quay and Clarke Quay have lots of restaurants and bars.

Singapore Tip #5: It seems like everything is named "Raffles" because a dude named Stamford Raffles showed up one day and is basically credited as being the founder of Singapore

- Raffles Hotel
- Raffles Hospital
- Raffles Raffles Raffles

Isnt his statue on the tourist list?

Not a big sex industry but they do have a red light area. Too expensive though. Singaporean men usually go to the Indonesian Island Batam (about half an hour by speedboat) - much cheaper there... :banana

Some good nighlife in Singapore in terms of pubs and discotheques, and lots of great food. Plenty to do for two days. The zoo is quite famous but make sure they let you out again... :winkwink:

Probably, his name is everywhere in Singapore.

go to "Sim Lim Square" lots of camera's and computer stuff
accross the street you'll find "Sim Lim Tower" where you can find very cheap electronic parts and stuff like that

"Bugis" is nice as well, on the market you can find all kind of fake shit

"SunTec City" is a huge mall and I mean HUGE

On "Orchard Road" you can buy the expensive goods for your wife :thumbsup

Have a pleasant stay!

awesome thanks..
what time does everything close at?

There are certain districts where stuff is open 24hrs, like restaurants and bars and some stores

how far from the airport?

The city is about a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport

singapore has the highest cost of living in the world, surpassed Tokyo-to a couple years back. nice place, especially if you are lucky enough to catch a public execution..

if you are looking for wild naughty nightlife, cheap deals on anything, or a pervasive youth culture singapore might disappoint you.

it is the asian version of orange county, only cleaner, with less crime, and one of the most conservative places in the world.

and if you observe closely you will see why unbridled capitalism and the work ethic of (some) asian cultures will rule earth's economy within 10 years.
