Hi Mayur I am not from S'pore(living in Aus) but stayed there for about 4-5 days last year during Cmas. Shopping malls are everywhere. Orchard Rd in S'pore is a popular area for brand outlets. We really liked the Night Safari( it a tour of the S'pore zoo at night). Sentosa island is a well advertised tourist location, but it's often very crowded. It's takes a while to go there by the cable cars(long queues). Direct Bus service to the island may be a better option. The dolphin show and a laser show in the evening at Sentosa was good. The Botanical park is also worth a visit - nice orchids there. A cruise along the river is nice. And of course, when in Singapore no Indian will probably come back without visiting "Little India". It's a better version of Guwahati's Fancy bazar. Lots of jewellery shops, Indian stores selling the latest B'wood movies. Mustfa shopping centre in Little India is worth a visit. You find everything under one roof. It's open 24 hrs and is not expensive. Taking a tour bus is a good way to get to know the place. After you get used to the place, use the metro. They are cheap. You buy a plastic ticket, put in money for the trip .. at the end of your stay you are refunded the $1 or $2 charged for the plastic ticket. Also taxis are relatively cheap. For eg: A drive from Little India to Orchard Rd(about 0.5hr) cost about $8. A train ride may cost $1.

Even the locals can't protest. JS _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
