Escapade to Singapore : Impression

My impression for Singapore : Safe, clean, efficient.

Signboards were mostly shown in English and Mandarin, and sometimes + Malays and Tamil.

Efficient subway system. They even had staffs standing beside the subway map and showed us the fastest way to get from one place to another.

It seems that everyone is playing with their phones in Subway.

Taxis were relatively cheap, we paid $6 from our Hotel to Universal Studios. From the taxi driver we realized that we drove through a toll without having to pass through a toll station. There were machines hanging on top of a place, every car in Singapore has to equipped with a machine with AutoCard, and the machine charges the AutoCard each time a car passes. What a wonderful system? Imagine don't have to queue or be slowed down through a toll? I wonder why can't Malaysia do the same, at least to slow down traffic jams.

We are neighbors, but Singapore is way more advance and efficient in many ways.

Escapade to Singapore : Marina Bay Sands Hotel Review

When my sister planned a trip to Singapore, she mentioned about the Marina Bay Sands hotel. Apparently it was famous but we have never heard of it. Until we saw the photo of their infinity pool, one of the selling points of this hotel.

The infinity pool is located on top of these three towers.

The panorama view from the pool.

The landscape view.

A view from the kids pool. It was heaven for Aelig.

Night view from the infinity pool.

Another night view.

The spacious bathroom.

We had a two twin beds room. Here is the view from the room balcony.

Overall it was a great experience. The checked-in process was a bit long though. Well, we stayed for free so no complaint.
