Greetings all in Singapore!
I am planning my honeymoon in your lovely country and wanted to ask a few questions, if you might permit me, and please excuse any ignorance from my part, I am attempting to do my research:
1) which area has the markets where one can shop for normally priced items, not high end fashion malls etc.?
2) where would the best area be to book a hotel, that would be within walking distance of nice attractions?
3) do the hotels book activities for you, or do you have to book those yourself such as a cruise down the river or a trip to universal studios?
4) which areas would you recommend tourists go to see? historic etc.
5) how does the taxi system work? Do they have meters or do you have to haggle with them? How difficult is it to get a shuttle/ taxi from the airport to the hotel you choose?
I am hoping someone can enlighten me on my quest for info, I am already freaking out about getting married :S any info you have would be most greatly appreciated.
Plus, I would not mind making a few friends here through the forum that can give me a real live tour of singapore from the eyes of an expat/local there. OF course i would reciprocate the gesture should said person wish to travel to where i am/ where i am from.
best wishes,
Ayman
