My Memorable Trip to Singapore
After spending a few days in Singapore last summer, it was such a good memory. My family and I fell in love with Singapore. We spent time together for 3 days and the weather was warm. We stayed at a very nice and lovely hotel near Orchid road. Honestly, Singapore is like no other place in the world; it had a perfect balance of city and nature. Even though this is a very small sunny country, it’s unique from other Southeast-Asian countries and there are plenty of excitement and beautiful places in Singapore. I was amazed that every place that I visited was extremely safe and clean. English is an official language in Singapore. The transportation are convenient and fast, so it’s not too hard to get around the city where most of the signboard is in English.
From the time we arrived Singapore Changi International Airport, my first impression was that this country is like the United State of America for convenience airport (I stayed in The US for 5 and a half years as a dependent, J 2 visa, with my mom whose study doctor degree in Statistics). Before I went to Singapore, I didn’t spend a lot of time researching information about what to do or where to go in this country. So, I actually didn’t know anything about this country. The roads and streets of Singapore are also incredibly clean and there are a lot of high-levels buildings, there's also lot of trees and nature around, which made this town looks more comfortable. We had some cousin in Singapore, so they picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel. My family and I stayed at a five-star hotel near Orchid road. The hotel reception was so nice and friendly. She explained to us about Singapore and what’s the highlight of this town. Her explanation made us easier for travel around. And she also told us that in Singapore, the laws are very strict and we should be careful about everything that we do on the street; for example smoking are prohibited at public places, especially non-open air spaces, chewing gum and jaywalking are not allowed in Singapore. Some of the laws made us surprised because it is different from Thailand, but I try not to break the law there.
Singapore is so beautiful and interesting because of the multi racial society. On one road there's a Christian Church and just around the corner there is a Buddhist Temple, Hindu Temples, and a Muslim Mosque. It has all combination of cultural in one town. Not only just those, but also almost all the streets in Singapore have been filled with plaza, great department store, and many nice boutiques. And there was Little India and China Town that are full of antiques shops representing their cultures, which I liked it a lot because the price is cheaper. Little India was great; we enjoyed walking around in Mustafas which must be the cheapest place in Singapore for shopping for everything that you can think of. There are also hundreds of Indian restaurants that we had to try, it was delicious. China Town was so clean and colorful because mostly all their buildings are colored, friendly people, many shops and restaurants. And of course, there are many things to buy there and the greatest part of all was that it was cheap. The biggest and crowded area for shopping is Orchard Road, but I found that the prices were higher there because of the entire foreign tourist that stays in the nearby luxury hotels. This road is decorated so long and surrounded by shopping centers like Takashimaya or brand shop retailers such as COUCH, LOUIS VUITONG; it’s also a good place for dining and sightseeing at night. Then we went to the Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City, which is amazing because it is the largest fountain in the world and the workers told us that if u touched the water, it would bring you luck. I actually got to touch the water in the middle of the fountain. After that, my family and I spend the whole last day at Sentosa Island, which is similar to Disneyland; is a fantastic and it was my favorite place to visit. Not only an amusement park but also have beautiful beaches. And at night we went to Clarke Quay and Riverside, which is a magnificent night view to the beautiful skyscrapers. Our highlight that we all loved was the Merlion Statue, Esplanade is a theatre on the bay, and The Flyer is a big fancy ferries wheel because it’s really awesome and cool, it also represented Singapore.
When we were walking through the city, it is quite easy to get lost and swallowed up because of all the buildings are so numerous, massive, and pleasing to our eye. Because of the convenient public transportation, this made us easier to get though this city. Singapore transportation systems are well regulated, especially Buses, the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), the Light Rail Transit (LRT), and taxi. All of the transportation wouldn’t help, if the signboard that shows us wasn’t in English. The most impressive part is that I can communicate everywhere I went in Singapore. Most Singaporean can speak English because it is the most common language that is used and it is the language which used to communicate in the different ethnic groups. So we can always approach anyone on the street for direction if we are lost. But they may not be eloquent and they would try to help could. This was my first trip that I spoke a lot of English on my own, which is good for me to practice my English. Everywhere I went, I had to speak English and almost everyone there can talk to me in English. I didn’t have difficult time for communication. This is reasonable for me, not only travel but also had my English speaking experience. What is interesting to me is that people there, not just only speaks English but also speak Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil.
In conclusion, Singapore had been a very memorable trip for me and my family. I had time to spend and share with my family, which is hard to find in our regular time because everyone is usually busy and don’t really have time for each other. This is one of the special occasions that we rarely had. This trip not only gave me a lifetime memory with my family but also taught me a lot of things that I can never find any other place. Every place that we went in Singapore was all beautiful and wonderful. Even though this is not my first time aboard but this is my first time in Southeast-Asian country, and it’s very impressive about how developed this country was. How they taught their people to be responsible and love their country, which is reflected that their residents picks up trash as they walk around without a second thought. Unlike Thailand, where people loved their country but don’t have responsibility. I loved how everyone actually can speak English, it really surprises me! This place is a very good school for my speaking lesson, by just asking questions about this or that. Singaporean was really nice and friendly to me and my family. All of these made my trip to Singapore valuable and unforgettable.
