Singapore: The colorful cast of One City


The Republic of Singapore is an island south of Malaysia and Indonesia's northernmost city whose name means lion. With this exotic etymology, this Asian island has some great attractions colonial (belonged to Holland and England), natural and cultural. The Journey Group, speaking in general terms, without regard to destination and conditions, is a form of travel that has advantages and disadvantages. Group discounts are continuous in hotels, museums, monuments, boredom is more difficult to take place in the group and enhance ideas. On the other hand, is more difficult to arrange, brainstorm characters depending on travel and destination can be very hard. But it is the case of Singapore, if things are done well, can be a perfect destination for travel in this way.

Singapore, with homonymous capital has gone from being an island of pirates and fishermen, small size, to gain yards and yards of the sea and become a major concern of environmentalists in the area, which is that the smaller islands of Indonesia are focusing on selling sand to the ecological disaster that entails. Also the airport is on the sea and territorial neighbors nails out. Leaving these issues aside, but not without letting them into account, it has to know this country's continued contact with nature, beaches, parks and gardens flooded the region. The Jurong Bird Park, the city zoo and the Butterfly Park & ​​Insect Kingdom are among the attractions to see, along with the Night Safari, the first night of the country park. This contrasts with multiple buildings and multiculturalism hyperbolic overwhelming. Colonial reminiscences, four official languages ​​(English, Tamil, Mandarin Chinese and Malay), and most varied cuisine (Chinese, Indian, Malay, Indonesian, Japanese, Italian, American, Russian, Swiss ...) will delight all possible tastes. This contrast is seen in the sights of the capital: the Victorian construction of the Palace of the Empress, the old Chinatown (hurry up who are rebuilding the area), a piece of Bollywood in the Little India and Orchard Road luxury.

A consumer taste, so if traveling in a group have the opportunity to meet all kinds of personalities and sleeping options are just as rich, hostels in Singapore are one of the cheapest options. City Backpackers is located near the train station, Habitat Hostel will give us privacy and space, Rucksack Inn is perfect for traveling in groups and Mitraa have an unbeatable location. Blend, contrast, wide range of possibilities, unique destination to satisfy all the lucky ones to travel to Singapore, land of lions, cultures and sea. By: Almudena Corral
