Our Singapore picture is of the downtown business area with cafes on the river side, we did try one of the night clubs on the top floor of these buildings. Singapore is a unique and fascinating city and a popular stop-over spot. A unique blend, combining the skyscrapers of the CBD and subways of a modern, affluent city with a medley of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences. A tropical climate, with tasty food, superb shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene.

The central area of Singapore has many service apartment hotels and apartment rentals. You will find around the vast Orchard Road shopping district. And the vibrant Clarke Quay riverside village with its trendy promenades along the Singapore River and the state of the art Marina Bay.

Take a stroll from your apartment and experience a real authentic dining experience by having a meal at one of the many bustling hawker Centres in Singapore. These are inexpensive, simple meals served from stalls such as the beef rendang, which must be enjoyed with a Tiger beer

A useful travel tip - Do not stick your chopsticks vertically into your dish. It's considered a no-no because it makes people think of funerals.
