Singapore (Thread 20)

[meimei]

^for a group of four, it's better to ride a taxi instead of bus/MRT. it's almost the same, if not cheaper. we're a group of four when we traveled to SG.

[ficklemind]

no prob sa pagdala ng processed food sis, basta checkin nyo na lang, yung mga chocolates pwede handcarry. Madalas ako magdala ng hotdog, tocino, longganisa, bacon etc. wala ding problem sa pagdala Jollibee food dito.
yung Jollibee SG last year pa yung soon to open nila, anong petsa nila wala pa din. Pero based sa latest fb post nila eh malapi na malapit na daw LOL

di pa rin kaya ng budgetr ko ang ymca and v hotel

[runbarbierun]

^ Sis try any of the fragrance hotels. Yung pinsan ko dun sila ng parents niya, okay naman daw. Pero budget hotel talaga yun so siguro manage your expectations.

[chockulit]

Thanks for the replies sissies! 

Up to ilang persons ba ang allowed sa singapore taxis?  Okay lang kaya na kakalungin na lang yung 2 kids (aged 5 and 2) plus 4 adults?

[kurengkeng]

^ thanks sis. kami lang ni husband kaya ok lang. first time ko kaya nawiwindang pa ako kaka backread. di rin ako makagawa pa ng itinerary for adults lang kasi wa naman kami kasama kids.

[ficklemind]

^ sis, have you checked SEA hotel? 100sgd per night sa kanila. pwede din naman yung fragrance hotel sa Geylang  if you are really on a budget, 2 lang naman pala kayo ni hubby mo. Fragrance/hotel81 sa city area are not really cheap, mas mura pa sa SEA hotel.

^^ sis, regular taxis max cap is 4.  1 sa front, 3 sa rear, hmm i'm not sure pero parang hinde uso dito yung kakalungin yung kids.
meron dito sa SG mga maxi cab that I think can carry up to 6-7 pax.

[runbarbierun]

^^^ Sis, alam ko hindi pwede. Sobrang mahigpit taxi kasi taxi nila.

[chockulit]

I see.  So I guess, we need two cabs then.    Thank you.

[kurengkeng]

sis ficklemind now ko pa lang tinitingnan yung mga hotels that you mentioned. mura yung sa fragrance, 52dollars lang. sa geylang. san yun? hehe mag reresearch pa ako

[minami617]

Tip: I bought all our attraction tickets in TravelDelight.biz super laki ng na discount ko, naka avail pako ng senior citizen sa dad ko for uss.

USS: Adult: from 74--64$ na lang; child: from 54--48$ na lang.
SG zoo + night safari + ride(un trail ride sa zoo cost 5$adult and 3$child if im not mistaken) adult 49--44$, 32--29$.

Hi sis prettygretchen, where did you collect the tickets? I checked the site, oks nga siya and gusto ko sana i-avail.

[xtine]

^For cheap hotel, try to look at www.agoda.com then arrange by "price" so that the cheapest will be shown.  Normally, naka arrange sha by highly recommended pero may mura din naman kahit naka arrange in this manner.

[xtine]

^^I stand corrected.  There's no arrange by price but there's a filter by price.  I tried SGD50 and there are about 5 hostels with rating "fantastic".  Hostels sya hindi hotels nga lang.

[prettygretchen]

minami617 sa office na nila mismo, dun na mismo ko nag bayad at dun ko na mismo kinuha yun ticket. dati nag dodoubt pa ko kung authentic kasi nga medyo malaki din masasave mo lalo na kung madami kayo dba? pero authentic naman kasi nga nakapasok naman kami sa USS at sa ibang attractions.

[reineedace]

Hi sisses! Question naman...which one would you choose between Underwater World and SEA Aquarium?
We only have 1 day in Sentosa/USS in our itinerary eh.  Thanks in advance!

Go to SEA aquarium, it is newer and bigger. malapit pa sa USS

xtine hi sissy question lang ulit hehe since ikaw kasi ang naka base dyan sa SG  , alam mo ba ang weather sa April? super humid ba? tia!

[minami617]

minami617 sa office na nila mismo, dun na mismo ko nag bayad at dun ko na mismo kinuha yun ticket. dati nag dodoubt pa ko kung authentic kasi nga medyo malaki din masasave mo lalo na kung madami kayo dba? pero authentic naman kasi nga nakapasok naman kami sa USS at sa ibang attractions.

Hi sis! Nag-email ako kanina sa traveldelight. Sumagot naman sila kagad and in-email din nila lahat ng mga discounted attractions nila. yup, dun ko na nga daw kukunin yung tickets sa Bugis, malapit sa mrt. Sakto kasi sa bugis din kame stay, sa SEA hotel.  SUPER THANK YOU sa info na to ha, malaki discount nito samin talaga.

[xtine]

^Sis Ella wih regards to chinatown, its better yo come around 5:30pm.  Magaganda yung colorful windows ng shophouses.  Also, from chinatown, you can see the raffles place' skyline.  Likewise, yung temple mismo
Mas ok kuhanan pag afternoon while there's still sunlight.

For the gardens and MBS, i would recommend MBs in the evening for the light show.  So its ideal that you come around 3:30pm to fall inline for the tix then spend your 4:00 - 6:00 around gardens then onto MBS.  Magkatabi lang yung gardens and MBS as they share the same mrt station.

On a sunday night, with lots of tourist, more or less your waiting time is 30 mins to one hour just to be accommodated.
