Singapore is a small island north of the equator and south of the Malaysian state of Johor. If you should look at the world map, at the tip of Malaysia you will be able to locate a tiny place call Singapore. If you are planning for a vacation there, there are plenty of activities and places of attraction you can find for free to fill up at least a week of stay there. The first thing you can do is to walk from one end of Orchard Road to another. Orchard Road is the shopping belt for most tourist and locals. There are at least 20 shopping malls on this street and if you are those who enjoy window shopping, this is the place. For those who like to shop for big brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, you can find them clustered here. For those looking for bargains, there are big departmental stores that consistently have bargains or a special sale going on somewhere. There are many cafes and restaurants here if you should want a taste of local food and they are at very affordable prices for most tourists. Next, you can head down to a place call Little India where the entire district is filled with shops and people that are mostly Indian. Little India is located at Serangoon Road, so if you are looking at the map for directions, be sure you see Serangoon Road and Rochor Road adjacent to it. Explore the side roads where you can find people from India staying and conducting businesses there. This area is very good for photo taking as you can see very colourful garlands of flowers and vegetables neatly arranged outside the stalls and shops for sale. If you are lucky you will meet the fortune teller who depends on his parrot to tell your fortune. For a small fee, he can tell your future with the help of the bird and a deck of cards. There are many Indian vegetarian restaurants along the street, so go try a meat-less lunch if you can. >From Little India, you can catch a bus to Geylang Road. Geylang used to be a >district known for brothels and cheap hotels. But the area has expanded now >and it is filled with restaurants operated by Chinese. If you are a people >watcher, this will be a sharp contrast to Little India, as Geylang is now >increasingly populated by people from China. You can find all kinds of >restaurants here representing the different cuisine of China, from Beijing to >Shanghai to Hainan city. In addition, there are many lounges and pubs for >those who fancy entertainment with liquor. But beware of the lounges in this >area, you may come out a much poorer man than before you got in. There are many parks you can visit around Singapore for free. One such park is the Sungei Buloh Nature Park. This nature park is located near the edge of the island so you may have to go by a public bus to get there. Depending on where you are, the journey may take more than an hour to get there. The park has become well known for its birdlife and home to a diversity of interesting plants and animals. There are boardwalks that take you right among the mangrove trees and allow to slowly appreciate and photograph the little creatures living there. The park is also a great place to observe rare fishes such as the mudskipper and the Archer fish. There are many things you can do in Singapore which you can do for free. If you are tired of the usual touristy places and attractions, you can visit places where the locals would go on a weekend. With just a little planning and research, you can enjoy your vacation differently and perhaps a lot more fun and cheaper too.
