Tired of the craziness of Panama City? Looking for something a little classier to do for spring break? Come and indulge in all the luxury that Singapore has to offer. I’ve lived in Singapore for the past three years now and I couldn’t think of a better place to experience the never-ending party life, 5-star restaurants, and beautiful beaches.
Singapore lies among the beautiful southeast islands of Asia. Just minutes from Malaysia and Indonesia, this small city-state has become a culturally diverse melting pot.
If you’re looking to meet a few fun people and to grab a drink or two, look no further than Clarke Quay. This historical riverside hot spot is home to some of the greatest restaurants and clubs that Singapore has to offer. Attica, a notorious nightclub for the beautiful is a great place to dance the night away. Stop by on Friday and Saturday and pay a cover of $28 including two drinks. Every other night the cover is only $12.
Choose from Hooters or fine dinning especially seafood. There are a number of brew houses that will be happy to serve Singapore’s most famous beer, Tiger beer. Come and enjoy some of the most spectacular views from many of the top restaurants. If you’re looking to dine like the locals, enjoy the numerous ‘hauker’ otherwise known as the food court. Here you can enjoy the typical Singaporean cuisine including Indian, Chinese and Thai food.
If the nightlife isn’t for you and you would just like to soak up some rays at the beach, then head to the ever-popular Sentosa beach and resort where one day isn’t enough time to spend there. Sentosa isn’t only a beach; it is a playground for the young and old alike. Ride down to the beach in style by taking the luge down for just $7. While there enjoy the bird park, dolphin lagoon or butterfly garden. Looking for a little more of an adrenaline rush? Lucky for you, Universal Studios opened its theme park doors this month with over 24 attractions sprawled across the 49 acres. Unless you’re a four-year-old fascinated with corny music and water effects I suggest you stay away from Songs of the Sea, which to me, was a waste of time and money.
Parents and friends won’t be too happy with you if you come home without presents. Downtown Singapore, also known as Orchard Road, is often compared to the ever-busy New York City. Find some of the most prestigious stores: Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Burberry, Hermes and so much more. This is also where most of the hotels are.
Come ready to have the time of your life. Public Transportation is at every street corner and the taxis are the cheapest around. Ride the tallest Ferris wheel in the world or enjoy a show at the esplanade. Spend time with family or friends but know that Singapore is always there to welcome you.
