uy sis, thanks for the info ha...laki ng discount ha...iwas hassle pa.


question po about entrance sa garden by the bay

nakalagay kasi dun na may disocunt yung mga
people who are working in SG,

(Singapore citizens, permanent residents and those living in Singapore, including holders of employment passes, work permits or dependent passes. Proof of residency may be required when purchasing tickets or when entering conservatories.)
pwede ba sila bumili
ng marami tickets for the tourists (for us), tas need din
ba kasama yung mga nagwoowrk sa SG
sa entrance o hindi na?

laki rin kasi ng disocunt paglocal residents or working sa SG eh compare sa standard rate.

ano pinagkaiba ng one conservatory sa tow conservatory?
thanks po sa sasagot

hello mga sis ask ko lang, napansin ko kasi lahat ng attraction meron child rate tapos dapat 3-12 years old
mahigpit ba sila sa pagenforece nito as in icheck [textspeak!] identification (eg passport) nung bata
meron kasi akong pamangkin 14 years old pero mukha pang bata kung makakalusot ba siya
salamat!

[meimei]

^i suggest that you don't do that. be honest about it.

[GirlCrush]

^^yes they're VERY strict regarding this and they check the passport.

Hi sisses, will be going to Legoland on Tuesday morning. Sayang, cant avail of travel delight promos since we'll arrive in SG 1AM of Tuesday so no time na pick up our tickets pa before proceeding. I inquired from WTS, sa Singapore flyer daw makakabili ng coach ticket. Di po ba pwedeng diretso na lang bus station? Will be staying at berjaya hotel in duxton road. What's the easiest way to commute?

sissies Girlcrush and meimei
thanks for the feedback 

[Jen08]

Hello. May I ask kung strict sila na no food allowed inside USS?  Di po ba pwede magdala ng mga cookies or chocolates or chips?  Please advise po.
Thank you.

sobrang init ba ngayon dyan sa singapore? or minsan umuulan?

[Ella Montana]

@xtine: Thanks for your usual quick response and helpful tips! 

From Concorde Hotel (Orchard), which is nearest- ION or Wisma Atria?
And meron bang Isetan sa Wisma Atria? I'm so confused if iba pa yung Isetan Scotts.
I want to know paano route ko from hotel to Chinatown. I want to go to
ION, Isetan and Wisma Atria. TIA!

[xtine]

^Sis Ella, Ion is just beside Wisma Atria.  As in connected sila via underground (middle nila is Orchard Stn MRT).  Isetan is the department store of Wisma Atria.  Believe me, once you are in the underground of Orchard stn, magkatabi lang ang wisma atria and ION.

In case of route, try www.gothere.sg  It will give you which train/ buses to ride and how much the fare will be.  Even jogging path, binibigay ng website.

Thanks sis! Confused kasi ako if iba pa ba yung nakikita kong Isetan sa Scotts Road.
Isetan kasi ang primary reason why I want to go to Wisma Atria.

[xtine]

^Isetan sis is parang Rustans na maraming branches.  Like shangri-la plaza where merong branch ng rustans doon.  Maraming department stores sa mga malls.  For instance, Wisma Atria's department store is Isetan, while Vivocity mall's department store is Tangs.  Ion does not have any department stores within.  Takashimaya has takashimaya department store.  Right across Ion / Wisma Atria naman (Orchard Rd side) is Tangs (own building).

Also remember there are two roads in Orchard
1.  Orchard Rd (Road na harap ng mga malls.  Parang Paseo de Roxas dahil one way kumbaga. Aisle sya ng Lucky plaza, tangs, paragon, Wisma, Ion, Plaza Singapura, Takashimaya, Mandarin Gallery, H&M, Far east plaza, Orchard Central).  One way sha going East.  So when you ride the bus towards the east, dito ka sasakay (For example, Lucky plaza to Douby Ghaut Station or Plaza Singapura)
2.  Orchard Blvd (Road sa likod ng Ion) So all buses here are going west.  So for instance, gusto mo bumalik from Robinson's mall to Lucky pLaza, you have to go to this road and take the bus. 

Take a map from the changi airport so that you know the major roads and its parallel.

Maraming one way sa singapore.  So if you rode the bus from Orchard road (say bus 16), to go vice versa, bus 16 din pero on Orchard Blvd which is also a one way.  Nakakalito ang bus system sa SG for first timers.  Bus 16(Bus terminal A to Bus terminal B)'s route is different road from Bus 16(Terminal B to Terminal A).  Kaya its important to look at the bus stops of the buses kung dadaanan yung nearest preferred bus stop mo.

In our case, since matagal na kami sa SG, we know the partnering of the roads so alam namin when to wait for bus 16 in orchard road and when to wait bus 16 from orchard blvd pag pauwi na ako. 

[Ella Montana]

Balak ko nga sana, kung kayang lakarin, maglalakad lang ako from hotel to the malls kasi mas nalilito ako sa bus. Kaya lang di ko alam if carry ng mga kasama ko. Kaya pinaplano ko na yung pagkakasunod sunod ng malls and kung saan may pinakamalapit na Isetan. Kaso, kung iba pa yung Isetan sa Scotts road, I'm wondering if stand alone siya and if it follows na mas malaki siya than in Wisma Atria. Natuwa kasi ako sa Isetan when I was in Malaysia. And since may mga kasama ako, nili-limit ko na lang saang mall kami pupunta. Saka na yung iba if may time pa. Thank you!

Thanks sis! Actually, I've been consulting google maps for a few days. Kaso nalito ako how to go from/to the hotel. Di ko mahanap yung hotel. Kagabi ko lang nalaman na Le Meridien pala before yung Concorde! haha
And when I try to look for Isetan, sa Shaw house ako tinuturo. So nalito ako dahil di ko alam if merong Isetan sa Wisma Atria AND stand-alone dept. store sa Shaw house or close na yung isa dun.

[xtine]

^Isetan din yung department store ng Shaw house.  Magkatabi lang halos ang Shaw house and Wisma atria.  If you can't decide whether to take bus, try the walking route sa google maps or www.gothere.sg

in SG, people use www.gothere.sg more than google maps because its more detailed and more updated.

[Ella Montana]

I just tried gothere.sg on PC. Better nga siya. Previously kasi, i access the site using my phone. Walang nagegenerate na result. So i thought I should buy the app pa, gastos. Thanks!!! 

[kayesl]

Aside frim goThere, StreetDirectory app is also a good map and also provides directions. Free sya.
