☆Destination☆
I want to go to Orchard and Sentosa because they are both convenient. Orchard is the center of the shopping area, so we can buy many souvenier from cheap one to expensive one. Sentosa is famous leisure island, so we can see Singapore history and also we can enjoy aquarium.Moreover in little India, china town and Arab street, we can enjoy various Asian food! Especially I want to eat fish head curry because we can eat it only in china town! Also, in China town, I want to try foot reflexology(that is foot massage.) because I can try it cheaply!


☆Hotel☆
Pan Pacific Singapore
This hotel is chosen No.1 among 226 hotels in Singapore(Trip advisor.com )
The hotel is very equipped with all facilitates for all types of travellers - family, business travelers, kids..
Moreover, close to some very good shopping malls
220dollars per 1 night

When I looking for a hotel, good value, central location and nice hotel facilities.
"Chic Boutique hotel in a central location". I think Pan Pacific hotel is like that hotel.





☆Optional Information☆
①Night safari
Night safari is one of the most enjoyable spot of Singapore. You may think there are also night safari in Japan. But, there are difference between Japanese one and Singapore's one. In Singapore's night safari, we enjoy watching animals by slowly walking ! So you can enjoy watching animals by walking with your friends. I think it will be unforgettable experience!

②culture of food
People of Singapore often eat out, so you can eat delicious local foods on the cheap. Howker center is a group of stands of local foods, and you can eat one foods in 2~4 Singapore dollars($1=about 63yen ). In Singapore, more than 100 howker center(from big one to small one). So, I want to go one of there.
