VIDEO: Singapore - the Asian gateway
Singapore is the gateway to European flights for many tourists flying from Australian destinations, therefore it has become a major 'stopover' destination, breaking the 24 hours of flying from Australia's east coast into two manageable sectors.
The shopping in Singapore is not as cheap as it used to be, with major brand stores starting to predominate in massive centres and the famed Orchard Road has never attracted me - it's just more shopping centres selling stuff you can buy just about anywhere for similar or better prices.
Instead, head for areas like Chinatown and the River Walk for passing the time. The Singapore Gardens (as seen in this video) are great for finding a cool spot in a hot tropical city. Or check out my separate video on Sentosa Island, where all the locals go to play (and stay).
