and you can't even bring the fruit onthe metro. that's something! the other thing to noteis that also a hundred and fifty dollar fine for not flushing a public toilet. so makesure you flush and the don't carry those durians on thesubway! wait! hold on, hold on! before we go on i need to, i need to wipe off my sweat. okay. so what you need to know when traveling in singapore is it's really hot. so you're going to need to really cool all year round and
bring a towel to refresh yourself. in front of the fullerton hotel is the merlion. the half-fish half-lion. which is an icon of singapore and the merlion, is what you need to comeand see there are three merlion statues here there's this merlion, there's one on sentoas and there's alittle lego merlion over that way. so a neat place for a strollin singapore is along the singapore river. there are the quayswith a number of restaurants.
there are also a couple of historic bridges.that one is the elgen bridge which is the oldest crossing in singapore. there'sanother historic bridge, the cavanaugh bridge, this bridge wasbuilt in glasgow scotland then it was put here it has been apedestrian bridge for a very long time and actually there's a sign on it thatforbids the passage of cattle and horses. along the singapore river is also a statue of sir thomas raffles commemorating the date in 1819 when he landed here in this small fishing village made itpart the united kingdom british empire and turned it from a sleepy fishingvillage into the
metropolis it is today. or at leastthat's what the sign says. to experience some of the local chineseculture in singapore come to singapore's chinatown at thechinatown mrt stop. it comes up right there at that escalatorand this is the cleanest chinatown you'll find outside of the one in yokohama japan. chinatown is also home buddha tooth relic museum that is said to housea relic of an original buddha tooth. chinatown is also hot!
if you come at the right time you mighteven get to see one of their worship services. in chinatown is about the only place insingapore that you will find street vendors. so enjoy the street vending while you'rehere and it's also the most orderly and organized and clean streetmarket i think i've seen. if you stop by the little indianeighborhood to experience a little bit of india. there are some narrow alleyway,s lots of small shops, good places for souvenirs. it's a little chaotic
very colorful and also a good place toget some indian food believe it or not. little india alsoseems to be home to singapore's jewelry and pawn shop industry. convienently located right next to each other. on this corneris a pawn shop located next to a jewelry shop next to pawn shop next to a jewelry shop.in this building is one of the last surviving chineseresidences in little india. now that is colorful! so in all my travelsthis is a first! this is truly on open-air laundromat andeverything is convenient singapore to
food because you just took over this way and there's an open-air food court so you can have a little bit to eat while you're doing your laundry. andright next to the food court is a restaurant that serves a fifteen dollarfish head special everyday. sweet! and finally little indiais also home to some temples with some really long names i'm not even going to try to pronouncethis one. to experience the arabian culture in singapore come to kampong glam which is home to the sultan mosquethere was the sultan that actually lived here
in 1823 right next to this mosque.there's a street called arab street and right in front of the mosque there is one way to beat the heat is with a cool and refreshing freshchopped coconut with a straw to drink the cool and refreshing lukewarm coconutjuice so after you drink the coconut you canthen have them cut the coconut open, chop it in half and they give you a spoon and you can eat the coconut. i thought this would be cooling but itturns out that
coconuts left out side get just as hot as me. so after eatingthis coconut i'm still sweating! maybe my coconut needs a little bit of asweat wipe. kampong glam is a neat littleneighborhood to walk around there's a pedestrianized shopping street in front ofthe mosque which is a great place for souvenirs.arab street is singapore's home to carpet vendors where you'll find carpets carpets and even more carpets!
adjacent to arab street is haji lanewhich is a small narrow alleyway that is home to a number of small trendy designerclothing stores. the mecca of shopping in singapore is onorchard road that has rows and rows of shopping malls on both sides of the street and this is one good place to beat theheat because all these malls are air conditioned on the inside. orchard road has all the famous brands like louis vuitton and chanel. one of the newest shopping centers is the ion orchard shopping center which
lights up a neat blue-color at night. it's a number of different floors ofshopping extravaganza. but my favorite part of ion orchard is thefood court on basement level 4. check it out forsome tasty eats. for some the best views insingapore stop buy the marina bay sands skypark. it is this skateboard like thing atop of the threetowers of this newest casino and from here the views of singapore are truly spectacular. just behind where i was standing is awonderful view of singapore's central
business district with all of the futuristic-looking high-rises.you can also see the singapore flyer ferris wheel and on theback side of the skypark you can see the gardens by the bay. thefinal attraction that i'll mention is something that any animal lover should visit and that isthe singapore zoo. it is world famous for it's open planconcept with very few fences. here are some kids getting up close andpersonal with a kangaroo and they also have some really neatanimal shows. here is pedro
the sea lion. and the final attraction that anybody will see on their visit to singapore, and it's definitely a must-see is changi airport. it's been rated one ofthe best airports in the world and i definitely agree terminal 3 this terminal that you're lookingat is the newest area and this is the check in area and nowwe're looking at the area behind security on the right of the picture is a foodcourt that is open 24 hours a day this airport is stocked with someamazing amenities including the world's
largest slide in an airport it also has its ownin airport convenience store that definitely has the largest selection of cold beverages i've ever seen in anairport. if that's not enough there's also an in airport butterflygarden yes that's right a garden with realbutterflies in an airport! if butterflies aren't yourthing there's also a in airport koi pondfor the goldfish watching extraordinaire. if you're notinto either butterflies or goldfish
