Singapore (Thread 24)

[rhed]

May I ask if ok ba to bring SG Dollars or USD?

[xtine]

^Both currencies are fine to bring here. 

If you happen to bring USD, no need to worry about expensive exchange rate as money changers here are one of the best in the world simply because of various nationalities living and visiting singapore (in demand ang foreign exchange). 

[rhed]

thanks xtine! our trip is sept 21 na wala pa ko itinerary haha will backread a lot tonight

[amie30]

@traveldelight, through wts po

[rhed]

Rainy days daw ang sept 21-24 should I bring a raincoat or foldable umbrella? ( pwede ba sa hand carry via tiger air?)

Thanks!

[krabby_patty]

Sis rhed Bring an umbrella but check in mo nalang because I don't think they'd let you through the gate carrying it. I was in Singapore last week and medyo maulan siya. Same weather as Manila. Hot afternoons tapos uulan.

[rhed]

Thanks sis   hand carry lang luggges namin but I plan to add check in luggages for IKEA shopping

[minnie99]

Will be here (again) 22-26 for an exhibit. Sana hindi maulan, though I just have 25 as my free day, pag maulan, sa mall na lang. Haha.

[sophistique]

Sisses, question. Has anyone of you tried purchasing discounted senior citizen tickets sa Travel Delight? Okay lang ba maski hindi Singaporean citizen yung companion namin na senior? Thank you.

[pinksuman]

hi all!
lapit na ang F1 and WTA. Sino na inyo manonood? Me sa WTA lang coz tried F1 twice na =)

help ko lang yung mga iba dito:

rhed & MedChic,
sg is just like pinas. sometimes rainy and sometimes sunny. pansin ko dito na pag rainy season na sa pinas...maulan din sa sg...siguro na aambunan ang sg =) but luckily no typhoons here.
always bring a foldable unbrella if you don't want a big umbrella hassle. kase kung mainit dito...humid talaga but all is bearable. also wear comfy shoes...better yet wear sandals or slippers....you will do alot of walking here

sophistique,
yung love lock bridge hindi sya ganun ka awesome like in other countries coz parang malaking metal frame lang sya na you can put the locks. you will see this in clark quay mrt in front of central mall.

nearest museum in bugis is the sg art museum: http://www.singaporeartmuseum.sg/

latest cab fare rates are here: http://www.taxisingapore.com/taxi-fare/
if midnight or wee hours talaga ang flight then you really need to get a taxi.
