Singapore Houses and Buildings
Singapore is one expensive place to travel. Food is like SG$3-10 a pop and there are only a few choices for backpacking accommodations here and it’s not actually cheap. But I do love the ease of their transportation system here that it’s easy to find your way around the small country island by Bus or Train. And for such a small place there’s a hodgepodge of things to do and places to visit, even if they may be artificially constructed or whatever earthly natural attraction is left of the country.
Route: If there is one good reason why I would want to live in Singapore, it’s their transport system. It’s so convenient I’m sure an obsessive-compulsive would feel at home. Plotting a route on a small country like this isn’t really that necessary. My home base is from Geylang and from there I can go to different points around Singapore via their public transportation.
Itinerary
I really have no fixed itinerary during my stay in Singapore but I found that there are several things that I was able to visit places I wasn’t able to write about but I think these ones are the main highlights during my 11 day stay in Singapore (October 15-25, 2009)

Travel Budget: Like I said, Singapore is an expensive city to stay for a long time unlike other South East Asian Countries. But I was able to trim down my cost and only spend SG$ 336.85 (P10,964.07) for 11 days. Well there are several factors why I only spent so little
- My airfare was courtesy of Nuffnang for the Asia Pacific Blog Awards which I just asked the flight dates to be extended
- I was staying at a friend’s place there so I didn’t have to spend on accommodations
So majority of my spending is on food and transportation averaging SG$ 20-30 per day
