Singapore is a buffet of experiences and a living encyclopaedia of culture and history. You must take this large meal one bite at a time to enjoy it. Sorry, not sorry, you will have to keep discovering the depth of the wonders here forever. It does solve your future questions of, where are we going on holiday?”.
The first holiday is found in freedom from a production requirement. Slow down. Mentally envision a weighted backpack of work that you forget to take with you. While on holiday, put anything that distracts you from experience in that pack at home and let it wait for you there. “Whoops, I forgot to pack that issue.
Once you get to the beach bar Singapore will distract you in another way. You can choose to see the beach from a sumptuously adjourned or vibrantly entertaining rooftop where service and more service will place you on pause to absorb it. The morning is the best time for the beach anyway. Spend tonight in the clouds.
Less traffic in the morning gives an air of solace. Likewise, many people are lured into the sky bars for sunset. Try one morning and sunset on the beach, and one at 100m to compare and contrast. Where does the service go beyond service? Which chef presents the better menu? Where did you get sunburnt the most? Where did you dance more?
I will admit something to you. Once I learned I could have wine delivered to my location, I realized my hypocrisy in looking down upon those too lazy to go to a convenience store from home. My reasoning is, I only use it on holiday, but what a service. I get to choose from any wine menu.
Chope (reserve in Malay) your eatery destination table and be prompt. Food is a radiant spectrum of cultures. This is the only thing I plan on my trip. The rest is seasonal and dependent upon the slice of Singapore I am biting this time. We all look at seasonal planning, but the best weather is the busiest and usually the most expensive.
For those of us willing to trade off-peak weather for off-peak prices, our holiday goes further. Knowing what season to be here, when and where the water quality issues are, or what beaches are best for your available dates, can be found with a little research. They aren’t uncommon questions.
Singapore knows what you expect as they see tens of millions of visitors from all sectors and nations. Look at their references here for additional guidance. Speaking of guidance, I will make one more personal note for international travel; invest some time in the basics of polite communication in the local language.
Locking in key phrases in any language has never been easier than today. We can watch multiple videos with clear pronunciation and videos to see the use of facial muscles to make odd sounds. It helps to get the sounds down. More importantly, it demonstrates you care enough to learn.
Multiple language and English skills are common in taxi drivers and service staff. Time a beach at water level or attend one always open, fresh, with a skyline view.
