Anyone here been? Is it as boring as people say? Or worth a visit?

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

worth maybe a two day visit.

No, not into any of that Pete. I have enough computers in my life.

Mr Pharmacist - yes, I am into noodles.

Same for Hubba Bubba unless you have a prescription.

Hubba Bubba? I don't even know what that is so there's no way I'll get caught with it ....

 

[pete]

chewing gum is illegal unless it's nicotine gum for which you need a prescription. also illegal: spitting, jaywalking etc. the locals refer to it as a "FINE" city arf

on the other hand, I was propostitioned by a lady of dubious morals in a rather fetching little cocktail dress outside our hotel approximately 1 hour after we arrived.

The lad I work with is from Singapore.
Fairly boring is how he describes it.

did you alert the authorities?

I was there with work and really enjoyed it. I'm not sure if it's the kind of place I'd like to go as a tourist though. Great shopping (great in terms of choice - price wise only electronics seemed substantially cheaper). Fantastic food.

The hotel I was in was on Orchard road and was very nice although some of the hotels nearer Orchard Towers can be crawling with hookers. It's amusing at first but when they are walking around the corridors of the hotel I can imagine it becomes a nuisance.

All of the people in the office were chewing gum. They thought I was a bit mad when I asked about the fines - although I guess they are more circumspect walking around the street.

 

[pete]

did you alert the authorities?

yes, as soon as i got back into the hotel. she found it amusing.

 

[the strange guy]

Spent a week there around a year ago.
When people say it's like one big Disney Shopping Centre Theme Park - they're right.
You could spend all day taking trains to different parts of Singapore and never step outside.
The malls are connected to each other by bridges and underground walkways - It's mad!
But the food centres are unbelievable and are worth the trip alone!

 

[La La]

go to HK instead.

singapore is like the country equivalent of a sleeping pill

 

[the strange guy]

HK is way better, but I'm biased too!
If it's an either/or situation then base it on what kind of food you want!
