^yes para di na hassle maghanap ng barya. Reloadable naman sya so pwede small amount yung initial load tapos reload if kulangin. Convenient din kasi pwede sya sa buses.

thank you sis

[curlylass]

^No prob! Enjoy your visit

Worth it ba ang tourist pass o mas ok mag ez link card na lang?

[Ma.Jewel_1987]

I was in Singapore last week. Stayed at Holiday Inn Express-Clarke Quay, awesome hotel. super clean, breakfast buffet is great as well as location, walking distance to MRT, love it.

I did not enjoy Universal Studio, minimum of 45 mins waiting para makasakay sa rides, at maliit lang sya. TBH mas nag enjoy ako sa Disneyland HK. Also by 6pm pinapalabas na lahat so kahit maliit hindi mo sya matatapos in 1 day dahil sa waiting time.Super init and smelly pa.

^^mas convenient ang EZ link kasi pwede gamitin sa mrt, buses o kahit pambili sa Cheers  pwede rin iuwi as souvenir.

[young_maiden]

Thank you sis

We stayed at Spacepod Hostel near Kallang MRT Station.

Pros
-It's only a 5-minute walk from the station
-Malapit siya sa cheap restaurants (5SGD and below)
-P1k per night with free breakfast
-Free use of washing machine, detergent and dryer
-Malaki yung rooms and maluwag

Cons
-Shared Bathroom
-Mixed room (around 10-15 pax)
-Nasa taas yung outlet

^ Sa Geylang yan sis?

[nataliaesperon2000]

15k ok na ba na baon with pasalubong 4 days and 3 nights

[ficklemind]

^ for one person excluding hotel and attraction tickets, Yes ok na yan
15k is around 380 sgd
let's say 50 a day ang gastos mo for food and transpo  (it can be less or more depends san ka kakain, 50$ is a lot na for a day IMO, kung sa mga foodcourts/hawkers ka lang lagi kakain at fastfood baka nasa 20$ a day ka lang sa food, transpo would be 10$/day)
50*4 = 200,  so meron ka pa around 180sgd to buy pasalubong at konting shopping.

Best to get sgd from banks here than exchange in money changer amirite?

[nataliaesperon2000]

^^ thank you sis

[IronLady]

^same, where do you buy your sgd? Should i bring usd and exchange it sa changi airport or papalit nalang here php to peso?

Maygawdddd panic mode! Wala pakong nabook na hostel! Sadlayf! May hotel bang 3k below? Magisa lang kasi ko..  Any decent hostel yung may malaking lagayan ng luggage? Hehe.. Saka okay sana CR?

Sis omneecka ano binook mo? Mitraa?

[ficklemind]

^ sa Singapore ka na magpapalit.
Just exchange a few here in manila, the rest dun na. madaming palitan.
Kung may USD ka na , yun na papalit mo. Kung wala wag ka na magpapalit pa ng PHP to USD then to SGD,  PHP to SGD na agad.

meron ka siguro makikita private room 3k and below pero mostly sa Geylang, kung ok sayo.

Yung mga nasa Bugis na alam ko nasa 100sgd.

[IronLady]

^^thanks sis! Dito na ko papalit ng sgd. btw was able to book a hostel na din. Medyo may kulay na yung trip ko lol. Yung train ba from airport pwede yung ez card?

[ficklemind]

^ yes
the last train from the airport leaves around 11:30 PM, may bus naman where you can use ezlink as well.

[IronLady]

^thank sis! Btw, may alam ba kayo pocket wifi rental na mura? Yung klook kasi per day is 345 per day! Medyo mahal para sa tulad kong solo traveller. I have an alcatel pocket wifi that i bought in nz. I think locked sya sa vodafone. Im thinking if pwede ko ba yun gamitin sa sg then bili na lang ng simcard? My vodafone telcom counterpart ba sa sg?

[xtine_orig]

^You can buy SIM card from Starhub.

SGD 18 for 5 days 2GB data plan.

Mas mahal pag changi recommend wifi router (mas sulit sha pag may mga kasama)
