Travel, Teach, Live in Asia

Highlights of Singapore
By:Ramon Van Meer

An extraordinary mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western cultures, Singapore is a country of real cleanliness and order; that, is uniquely Singapore. Visitor arrivals totaled to 10.2 million in 2007 and it's not difficult to see why. From shopping, culture, fun, wildlife, culinary exploration to casinos, Singapore offers a lot for travelers to see, do and taste.

If shopping is your main reason to travel, Singapore offers a variety of shopping centers that have the most original and quaint items for sale. Visit Chinatown for little souvenirs and regain your energy in one of the authentic Chinese tea shops. Walk on Arab Street and Kampong Glam and find a vast array of handicrafts, baskets and textiles for your home. Soak up the scents in Little India, spices, silks, jewelry, clothes, they have it. Do you want to purchase clothes and items with famous brands, go shopping at the Marina Bay, Orchard or at the Riverside. Learn about the Singaporean culture while walking through museums like the National Museum of Singapore and the Asian Civilizations Museum. Enjoy art in sculpture looking at the People of the River Sculptures along the Singapore River. Be awed at the history for the Chijmes, a national heritage site for dining, shopping and entertainment where the restored chapel provides theater performances and musicals to enrich your soul. The Esplanade-Theaters on the Bay is one of the busiest art centers of the world.

Spend a whole day in Sentosa Island. This is Disneyland, the Singaporean way. Friends and families can watch a movie at the Cinemania, look at marine wildlife at the Underwater World, get wet in Fantasy Island, see the lovable dolphins at Dolphin Lagoon, take in the sights from the Merlion, be treated to a psychedelic show of lights and water at the Musical Fountain. Enjoy the beauty of wildlife at the Night Safari or Jurong Birdpark. Where else can you go eat and sample the culinary exploits of coming out chefs but in Singapore? Being the food capital of Asia, every corner in Singapore has a limitless offering of food and beverage that range in flavors of both the East and the West.

Stay and indulge yourself at the Integrated Resorts of Singapore where you can choose between the Marina Bay and Sentosa locations. These are two resort complexes that house numerous facilities where travelers can be entertained, wined and dined, and try their luck at the casinos. Everything that is unique for you, only in Singapore.
