SINGAPORE - LION CITY (PART 2)

Hello there, today I'm excited to write down another experience that I had in Singapore. ^^
Here's my itinerary for two last day :

- Fourth Day, August 12, 2012

I'm planning to visit Marina Bay today to saw Gardens By The Bay, it's a new vision of creating a City in a Garden with Go Green concept. The weather is extremely hot today, so I decided to visit the conservatory first. There's two conservatory right now, Flower Dome & Cloud Forest. We must buy the ticket first before we can get in, the ticket price is SGD 28 for two conservatory. After buy the ticket, I decided to enter the Flower Dome First. It's very windy inside and my eyes amazed by how high the ceiling & the conservatory is very big too. There's so many kind of flowers from around the world that I haven't seen. But from all of those flower, I like Orchid the most. I grew up with this flower all around my terrace house, it's my father favourite flower and he choose my last name from this flower too (Orchid = "Anggrek" in Indonesia & my last name is derived from it "Anggreni").

 After enjoyed the Flower Dome, we moved to Cloud Forest. In the front door we will be amazed with  35-metre indoor waterfall, to see all the conservatory we use the elevator to the top and walk using the circling bridge to go down. There's so many interesting information that caught my attention, ie Indonesia has a Cloud Forest in almost all regions. It's very cold inside and we can smell the forest scent, after reach the top I starting to use the circling bridge. I'm a little afraid when I'm looking down due to the height. Then on the 1st floor you can watch the 5 minutes movie about Plus 5 degree, the story is about global warming and what will happen if our world temperature rises 5 degree. It's time for us to change our life style, starting from one person "yourself" is a good milestone.
After saw the conservatory, we ate our lunch at Texas (there's not much option for lunch in here). The culinary momentum of the day is the biscuits I ate at Texas, it's like a soft poffertjes rich with butter. This biscuits aren't available at Texas Indonesia. After lunch I'm buying ticket for OCBC Skyway SGD 5, we can see the view from the bridge between Supertrees. (Supertrees at night is very beautifull too, the trees will glowing with many lights)
In afternoon, I choose to walk to Science Center & see casino inside the mall and watch free show "Wonderfull - The Light & Water Spectacular" at night. The best spot to watch this show is at Event Plaza, the show is started at 08.00 pm and second show at 09.30 pm. I recomended you to watch the show.

- Fifth Day, August 13, 2012
My last day in Singapore, I'm decided to enjoy my time walking all around the mall at Orchard Road.
But before that we visited Clarke Quay, there's also a mall in this area and when night this area will glow with many lights and it's famous for the cafe/ pub with river views.
The mall I've visited in Orchard Road was ION, Tangs, Wisma Atria etc (there's so many) but I didn't buy anything, what I'm doing was window shopping. ^_<
At night, I'm craving for Laksa again luckily I found it in Food Hall at Wisma Atria. For dessert I'm trying Uncle Ice Cream, it's like a common ice cream with bread or cone except the seller usually is an uncle or aunty. Ke...ke..ke....

From this journey, I experienced this :
- The transport especially MRT is very simple, you  don't have to worry to get lost.

- In singapore no single language is really used, I can hear many languages ​​while in the MRT or on the road.
- The prices for mineral water in bottle is expensive, the cheapest one I found was SGD 1/bottle or SGD 1.2/ 2 bottle (1 bottle = 600 ml) 
- For many attraction in Singapore it will be better if we planed in advance what attraction we would like to watch, because most of the attraction is not include in entry ticket cost so you must spare the extra cost. 
(But there's also an amazing free attraction like Wonderfull show in Marina. Botanic Garden, Chinese/Japanese Garden etc)
That's all my journey to Singapore, I can't wait to post another experience about my trip. I hope I can go to Singapore again too, I haven't visited Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sand Hotel skyline & Jurong Bird Park.
