A small island Singapore consists of 581.5, KM but today the area of island has increased to 704, KM by land reclamation since its independence. The spectacular skyline and road outlines have increased the beauty of the island and attracted the tourists of the world. MRT Station is the most prominent and busiest station located in the Down town core area. It is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station connecting North – South and East – West of Singapore. Our first day journey started from Raffles MRT by car. There are different places to park the car on the Orchard Road but the parking charge differs place to place very much. It is desirable to look the cheapest car parking place for the whole day shopping. The Meridien center at one extreme end of Orchard Road is the one of the cheapest Car parking centers. The other end of Orchard Road is glamorous where parking charge is exorbitantly high. There lies the Orchard Central Coz. At night the area turned into a super gorgeous site of vision by the lightening of skyscrapers. The gorgeous building of the area displayed the best art of architecture. The next day our journey started on foot from Raffle MRT to Boat Quay along the Singapore river side. The icon of Singapore ‘Merlion’ decorated with the beautiful design of Lion and Fish is kept standing at the entrance of Singapore River, well coming the visitors day and night. Apart from shopping at Orchard Road one should go to see the nice place Boat Quay, the river side of the Singapore to enjoy the beauty of land and sea. We walked down to Boat Quay through the financial district. A woman will be satisfied getting the opportunity of marketing all kinds of girly things of her choice. Any body or every body will be tired off by the strain of marketing, when one will be looking for something to eat to be relieved off. Lots of restaurants had grown up all along the river side to get delicious Chinese food at Boat Quay.

Go to Funan Digital Mall, for costly sophisticated electronic goods or go to Sim Lim Square for cheap electronics. This is the place which may be rightly described as the heaven of electronic gadgets.

Besides shopping one must visit the Tourist Information Centre, situated at the middle of Orchard Road where the executives provided information about tourist spots, how to get there, what to see and do, maps and lots more. The visitors are also provided with tourists incentives.

Singapore is an Asian City:

Ethnic quarters like little India, Chinatown or Arab street can be found in the streets of Singapore, where each community is living with their distinct culture. Singapore is an Asian City where Chinese, Malayan and Indian are living in cherish together with the tradition of their own culture. The memorable things are: (i) Fountain and pools at Sentose, (ii) The fountain of wealth at Suntec City, (iii) Marine Bay at night, (iv) The lightening of Skyscrapers at night, (v) The site of buildings at the harbor. People living in a place good or bad does not matter, gets fatigue and bored by the constant vision of a particular place and the constant routine works. Travelling brings freshness in mind and new vigor in the regular activity. Modern Singapore is a place of beauty; if some one is lost in the beauty by taking pictures after pictures, the person will definitely lose the real taste of leisure trip. It is here the opportunity of going to different places to see how the people are enjoying their life under different culture. This is what a life is in existence in the different parts of the globe.
