Raffle Hotel and Ice Cream

Singapore Travel Blog › entry 2 of 4 › view trip summary

I have a brief visit to Singapore but luckily did not have any fine from this city yet. However, I got a warning from Jaywalking.

Raffle Hotel and Ice Cream

I just can not resist taking a picture of her. So cute!
After Bras Bazzar we decided to go for a walk and where else! Raffle Hotel. It is when we enter the hotel when we notice that there is a boot selling ice cream. With a few people gather around looking at this one guy whom chopping ice cream and try to mix it with Oreo and Mash mellow. It is something that I could not resist because the ice cream look really sticky and yummy. I order green tea. The Ice cream is really good (just a tad too cold) and I made a mistake of ordering green tea ice cream mix with Oreo.. (trust me the two does not go together well)

Then we decided to have a long walk around (basically, I felt like I was a blind rat, because we go every where with MRT and walk across tunnels after tunnels walk up to see where we are and going back in under ground if it is not the place we want to go. Like a rat coming out for air and going back in underground again!!) The walk was really nice and we felt quite safe to walk alone around Singapore. Really too bad I did not bring my tripod with me on this trip! All the night pictures I took blur!!

Singapore is a 'FINE' country
1) Walking across the street in non desinated area will be 'Fine' if you are caught! If you are not then it is 'Fine' too

2) You will required a medical certificate to buy the chuing gum. Singapore government has ban the gum due to teenager stick it on the door of the MRT

3) Another fact! Student who is over weight must stay behind in school to attend componsery 1 hour exercise until he can control his/her weight within medical recommendation standard.

4) Rubbish must be put in the bin, careful because big brother is watching! and you will understand why Singapore is a 'fine' country!

5) Taxi after midnight will charge double the fair and if you are going to the airport then it is 5 Singapore dollars extra. If you have book the taxi more than 30 mins in advnce that is another 5 SingDollars. If you catch the taxi in CBD (Central Business District) there would be another additional charge too.

6) You can easily travel from the airport by MRT or bus. The MRT Station is in the Terminal 2 and could easily take you near any hotel that you might stay in. You might also want to check out the bus because sometime bus will be much easier to get to the airport from the town.
Traffic Accident, in Singapore??

I don't really like to know the fact that the overweight students has to stay 1 hour behind just for exercising. So what if they are overweight? They can enjoy life and do not disturb other people's life?...

1) Hey yeah, i've heard of the $50 fine stories,though i have not experienced that personally before. I don't think it's as rampant as it sounds ;)

2) Actually the chewing gum ban pertains to the import and sale of chewing gum rather than eating it per se. So no worries, you won't be fined for chewing, just remember to throw the remnants into the litter bin!

3) Yes they group overweight kids into this mandatory fitness regime. Then again, we get detention now and then too :)

4) Well, let's help to keep the city clean! It's an act of consideration really, and should not be driven by reluctance to pay a fine.

5) That is correct, in fact if you take the taxi into the central business district (Raffles place area) mon - sat 730am - 930 am and 530 - 930pm (approximate times, i don't remember the exact ones), you are required to pay an extra 35% on the total fare. that is excluding the booking fees (if any) and CBD surcharges.

6) I recommend taking the MRT (mass rapid transit) if you're on a budget or taxi. Public buses are not that frequent. The easiest thing is really to just take the MRT. Plus, it's not pricy! Around S$2.50 from Orchard Road to Changi Aiport station. Price of access card (we call it EZLink) will cost fare + S$1. Rem to refund your card with the counter to get $1 deposit back.

You look at the car that go on the curb right? The car look fine and I am sure you can still drive it but the police would not let him drive and get the tow truck to tow it out!! So so strict
