Singapore
According to Malay legend, a Sumatran prince encountered a lion -
considered a good omen - on Temasek, prompting him to found Singapura,
or Lion City.
Singapore food is a tasty tale about a country’s unique
cultural tapestry, and the way individual strands have woven into
others, and changed hue in the process. Food preparations that came to
Singapore from India, China, and other countries in the region may still
bear the original names – but they are indelibly transformed by being ‘Singaporeanised’.
Although Singapore isn't exactly a city that never
sleeps, there's definitely enough to keep pub-crawlers and other
nocturnal creatures well occupied. Night spots in Singapore tend to
exist in clusters, making pub-hopping even easier.
When Singaporeans tell you that shopping is the national
sport, they're only half joking. Shopping ranks right up there with
eating as a favorite pastime. The famous
Orchard Road
features mall after mall of glitzy clothes, shoes, electronics goods,
furniture, rugs, cosmetics, etc. There's always a big sale going on
somewhere, the people all around you are laden with shopping bags - its
impossible not to join in the fun. If you're a shopaholic, you may want
to time your visit to Singapore to coincide with the mid-year Great
Singapore Sale, when it seems that the whole island is going at a
discount.
