My little boy says not to miss your flight out. For me Hongtin being caned for trying to smuggle in bubble gum.

Unfortunately, he can’t be caned for that. Robbery with a toy gun, maybe.

Singapore simply does not strike me as truly "Asian". More like a bastard child of the East and the West, if you get my drift.

So Malacca is a child of a more legitimate marriage? Have you heard of Portuguese Square in Malacca? Are you not also insulting the people there?

My little boy says not to miss your flight out. For me Hongtin being caned for trying to smuggle in bubble gum. Maybe you could be more specific in your interests so we can better assist. If you have kids its a delight with many attractions including a good discovery museum. The Jurong bird park is very nice. Nearby is a place you can get an alligator burger. For the more refined the Asia Civ Museum and its nearby relations would be stimulating. Sentosa Island offers a butterfly exhibition area and a good aquarium. For foodies this is a mecca not withstanding Hongtin’s experience. Good English bookstores rounds it out. Excellent base for a trip into Indonesia and Malaysia. Enjoy but watch out for the humidity, edwardseco

On Snetosa Island, be sure to visit the memorial honoring those who died in the Great Sentosa Cable Car Tragedy. The cable was snagged by a passing freighter’s mast and entire cars were sent plunging into the ocean below. Occupants died horrible deaths. No one was able to explain who in the port office allowed such a tall ship to sail past the cable car area. I must assume its typical Singaporean incompetence…..I heard the prime minister’s son (not having seen a single day of combat, he was made a general at 33) was given the task of co-ordinating the rescue mission. I am not sure if many people were actually saved, but he was given heroic honors and valuable media coverage anyways…. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Can anyone tell me what not to miss when visiting singapore for one week ?

The Asia museum is considered by many who have visited to be a white elephant. I have toured it, and was totally underwhelmed. There are many Asian heritage museums around (the ones in nearby Malaysia are worth vivsiting). Singapore simply does not strike me as truly "Asian". More like a bastard child of the East and the West, if you get my drift. Tour the nearby Singapore River area instead (actually a huge ditch). Has no shortage of garish Chinese junks and British-style pubs. As an aside, a government ministered was rumored to have swam across it once, to prove that city hall’s has succeeded in cleaning up the ditch of flotsam  Unfortunately he died some time later,,,, There is no point to the story, except that while politicians elsewhere kiss baby bottoms, those in Singapore swim ditches… – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – writes: an anyone tell me what not to miss when visiting singapore for one week ?
