I am fortunate to have the pleasure of traveling to Singapore a few times a year for business. I'm never disappointed by my experience.
Anyone who is ever afforded the opportunity to visit Singapore should. It is an unforgettable destination with something to offer every one.
Spend a day travel stop-over in Singapore, walk through streets find sites in Singapore that have Malay interest. Be immersed with how Malays practice their customs.
Start your walk along Bussorah Street, be engross by the colonial design terraces. Formerly a residential area for immigrants from Middle East and Indonesia. Long stretch of shop houses to browse for that traditional Malay costumes, artifacts, handicrafts, furniture and accessories. You find this a paradise for goods like carpets from Middle East, textiles from Europe and ready made clothes from India and China.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens at its present site was founded in 1859 by an Agri-Horticultural Society. The Gardens showcases many outstanding plant collections. Some highlights include the National Orchard Garden, the Ginger Garden and the Evolution Garden including many rare specimens. Traditional remedy or herbal medicine comes from various type of medical plants', either from the leaves, the fruits, the roots, the flowers or the barks, etc.
Traditional music accentuates more on rhythm. Visit Eunos Community Centre Kompang club. Musical pieces are played to accompany certain activities or situations in a given story. Soloist and chorus sung and accompaniment of drummed rhythmic patterns create the ambiance. The playful mode of playing the drum provides a channel to release negative feelings and build co-ordination amongst players.
