Here are the top 5 things to do in Singapore if you are just there for a few days:
1. Go straight to People's Park Complex in Chinatown. This is the first high-rise shopping center in Southeast Asia and you can experience the local flavor. You can even get a foot reflexology treatment for $10 and then spend time picking up cheap but good souvenirs.
2. Take a guided walking tour to see the real Singapore. You can explore ethnic neighborhoods like Little India or Arab Street, find Chinese medicines, see temples and architecture or head to the island's famous black and white bungalows, which are vestiges of the colonial rule from a century ago. A private walking tour can cost up to S$100 an hour per group.
3. If you are not afraid of heights and do not suffer from vertigo, take a ride on Singapore Flyer which opened in March 2008 on the Marina Bay. It is dubbed as the world's tallest Ferris wheel at 540 feet.
4. Go and see the 3,000 odd animals that roam freely in open-style areas in Singapore Zoo. This is the closest you will ever get to a real safari. You can see animals like elephants, kangaroos, lions and giraffes in their nearly-natural environment.
5. You cannot say you have experienced Singapore unless you taste the local cuisine. The best place for soup dumplings is Paragon Mall. This is the place where the locals flock to so that they can eat affordable and authentic Singaporean food. You can sample everything at the hawker center ranging from chicken rice to chili crab to popiah spring rolls to spicy Malay coconut milk to laksa. The hawker center is located on the Esplanade Mall and is just steps from the Merlion statue.
