Well, it has come and gone, and this trip I was there for a week in the tropical heat doing a walk about. I now know where the Sheraton Centre is and walked from there to the botanical gardens on the 2nd day. On the first day i walked down Scott's and went west to Tanglin rd? and then east on Orchard all the way to the palace (Istana) grounds, where they promptly stop me from entering....lol.... i believe that was the western part of the central core/civic area; and which i visited on the third day (Fort Canning Park and Museums) , but via MRT... I smartened up...lol.... and the 4th day, I went into the eastern Katong area via taxi and MRT ....
On my first trip we had stuck around Clarke and Boat quays and essential the downtown central district... so i think i just about covered most of the core of Singapore? One night this trip we actually went to Sentosa for a meal on the island at a Susur Lee restaurant. Had been following him since Toronto.
We never did make it to 'bintan islands', but i did find out from the s'pore tourist office that this is the resort town to visit for Singaporeans! ....lol.... it is like Bali to the Indonesians, Puket to the Thai....
Anyway, sorry i missed you guys... especially since i recalled on the route to the botanical gardens thru Tanglin/Orchard and Nassim Rds seem to ring a bell as to your address... on Nathan Rd.... but maybe that was where the taxi took us....lol... to nassim instead of nathan...
In any event, the next time will have to be lunch in little india? or chinatown. and arab town?.... (i did visit the Sri Senpaga Vinayagar Temple on Ceylon St, when i walked around in Katong. Impressive)
i bought an 'insight guides' step by step to s'pore, which was useful; but only to find that s'pore is not a place to take step by step.... it is way too HOT ...lol..... must have lost 5 lbs of water.....
Next time....
