Mayroon na po ba nakapag stay sa hotel na ito? kasi sa dami namin 6adults with 3 kids di naman kami makapag stay sa mga dorm type, bawal daw may 1 year old and cheapest rate na ito HOTEL 81 DICKSON sa AGODA, ayaw kasi naman namin sa Geylang area.. Pa help naman mga sis.. Thank you..

[m_lim]

malinis naman ba sa YMCA?

[xtine]

^Sis, when you're in little india and farrer park, expect maraming indians as indian community sha.

Haven't stayed in hotels within Little India.  better check out tripadvisor which I often use to check hotels where I plan to stay.

mga sis tama po ba intindi ko. cable car to imbiah look out kami baba tapos walk to skyride and luge 1 round tapos sakay kami nang free shuttle bus to resorts world then USS and SEA aquarium them free shuttle bus to imbiah look out for cable car back to harbourfront. thanks mga sis

[xtine]

^Tama sis, Imbiah lookout ang station ng cable car (to and fro harbourfront).  After USS and SEA aquiarium just walk towards the big merlion, nasa imbiah lookout ka na.  It's just walking distance.

Or kung ayaw nyo maglakad, take the waterfront station (USS) to next station which is Imbiah station (Sentosa rides like luge and cable car).

  thank you sis xtine. July pa naman ang punta namin pero excited na ko hehe kaya bawat input nadadagdagan at naayos ko itinerary na ginawa ko. thanks sa mga input at tips dito sa female network.

Mga sis, a few questions lang:
1. Dito sa website na to, 4 ang lumalabas na fares pag nagselect ng route. Standard, adult, kid, senior. Ask ko lang [textspeak!] ang nagiging fare sa ezlink? [textspeak!] ang kaibahan ng standard sa adult? Ang mahal kasi lage ng standard.

2  free shuttle pick up ng uss just means yun yung mga hotel pickups nila but not necessarily means na dun sa mga hotel pickup points nila ikaw naka check-in right? Checking in at ymca,and based on their scheds, concorde hotel ang pinakamalapit na pickup point.

3  ang rule na 100ml liquid sa airport is for liquid right? Hindi pertaining sa container? Planning kami kasi to bring big EMPTY bottles para dun nalang namin sa sg lalagyan ng laman para may mainum habang namamasyal.

4. Feedbacks about traveldelight.biz please. Hectic ang sched namin do ayaw maaberya.

5. Do we have to bring our passport all the time to prove na we have 12yrs old and below for the child tickets and a senior para makamura sa tickets of tourist attractions? Ayaw ko na sana ibitbit everywhere dahil baka mawala pa.

Thanks so much.  Nag backread ako from thread 19 to 23 except 22 kasi hindi ko na kaya. Halos whole day ako nagbabasa.

[xtine]

^Sis.. Standard is for single fair (no ezlink), adult, kids and seniors are for those with EZlink.  Mas mura lagi ang ezlink.  For instance, a single fair can be S$1.10 while with ezlink can be S$.70 lang.

[burberi]

^what is ezlink? some sort of stored value card?

Also sisses, can you help me create a half day itinerary for Marina Bay? Don't know kasi mga place na dapat puntahan doon. Pwede bang lakarin lang attractions doon? Ano ang pwedeng sunod sunod na puntahan? Di na namin isasama yung roofdeck ng MBS kasi ang mahal ng fee. We have spare time beginning 12nn to 6pm. TY!

[PP2201]

Burberi para siyang octopus card. Google it.maraming faq.

Thanks xtine. Saw sa previous threads na pag $3 nalang laman ng ezlink, hindi na pwede gamitin? Need to load na ulit? Hassle sa working on a budget. May $5 non refundable card fee na tapos pag $3 nalang laman hindi na magamit

Pano ang initial na pag bili ng ezlink (not the reloading part), tao siya or machine?

7-11 also sells ezlink cards for seniors and children or for adults lang?

[xtine]

^Sis, if you ride the bus minimum is S$2.  I just tried it just last week.  Pinatuloy pa rin ako sa bus. 

Sa MRT since ang maximum is around S$2.09 i think kaya kelangan meron ka S$3 sa EZlink mo.  Initial cards must be bought at the Cashier mismo ng transitlink.  Hindi sha available sa mga machines.  For top-up lang ang machines as well as single journey tickets.

You may buy child concession ezlink sa lahat ng transitlink concessions located on all MRT stations (changi airport) and bus interchanges.  You don't need to buy in 7-11.

2. Yes.
3. Just check in your bottle containers. But then you can just buy mineral water here and reuse the bottles. Less hassle for you to bring bottles pa...
4. Madali lang mag DIY. Not unless you're going to buy a ticket from them which appears to be cheaper on the attraction websites, I won't suggest getting tour packages from any sites.
5. Yes. Another plus is, for some places, they give additional discounts for tourists as long as you present your passport...

burberi, sa Marina Bay area there's Gardens by the Bay, Merlion, MBS. Pwede kayo mag Gardens muna then picture sa Merlion pag mga past 4:30 pm na para d na ganun kainit (mainit na ngayon dito) then walk going to MBS...

Note that hindi sulit mag EZ link kung hindi rin kayo lagi magbubus and mrt. Check your IT rin, if you think puros lakad rin lang kayo and magtataxi in some places, I won't suggest getting an EZ link specially if mga 3-4days lang kayo dito

[PP2201]

Thanks girlcrush. Yup not really after the tour, but im after the cheaper tickets they offer. E ayaw ko mascam or anything. Hehe. Konti lang kasi feedbacks pa ng nag avail sakanila. However, arounf s$10 ang minumura niya compare sa mga onlinr mismo ng websites.

Really? San mga spots ang may discount pag tourist? Para i won't buy online tickets for those.

Really mainit na diyan? Dito sa manila medyo malamig pa e. So mostly mrt at taxi na kami. I doubt we will enjoy walking while its hot. March last week ang dating namin. So baka super init na

[GirlCrush]

^Yes mainit na by that time Ngayon palang masakit na sa balat ang araw.. Mas mainit dito kaysa sa Pilipinas. Just make sure to check the website's promotions before purchasing anything online. Honestly, hindi ko naririnig ang travel delight dito, I just see it here in this forum. For tourist discounts like sa mga attractions, nakapost cya sa promotions section ng website.. Sometimes they also have discounts if you buy the tickets online.. Sa retail madami rin discounts for tourists. You just need to be aware of the mall promotions which you can ask naman at the mall concierge. Ion and Takashimaya meron madalas

[katie_gorgeous]

mga sis, ask ko lang po kung galing sa Universal studios pano ako pupunta ng resorts world? pwede ba lakarin?

[freelancebuddy]

re: Travel delight

dun kami bumili ng uss tickets last june. pinick-up namin sa office nila.. if i'm not mistaken, malapit sa raffles hospital yung building. ok naman sila, legit naman. hope this helps.

[burberi]

Thanks sa pag-clear ng EZ-link sakin sisses! I have done a bit of research and found that we can avail of the tourist unlimited EZlink. We're planning to get the 2-day unli ride for $16. I think mas sulit na rin kesa mag EZ link na merong $5 fee. What do you think?

[PP2201]

Thanks everyone.

How worthy is it to go to the SEA aquarium thinking may Manila Ocean park dito sa manila?

[xtine]

^Sis,  I think sulit ang tourist pass as S$30 lang sha for 3 days and refundable pa ang S$10.  So S$20 lang ang transpo nyo around SG for 3 days which is equivalent to Php700 per person.

*Tourist pass pricing, add S$10 which is refundable when card is returned.
1 Day Pass    = $10   
2 Day Pass    = $16   
3 Day Pass    = $20

BTW, to those who are into Bath and Body works, their shop in Marina Bay sands will open this feb.
