根據蓋洛普2012年調查,最不快樂的國家第一名是新加坡。而聯合國2013年研究,它是亞洲最快樂的國家。這是怎麼回事?快樂或者不快樂! 但我很肯定新加坡遊客是很快樂的。
濱海灣花園是2012年新景點, 期望可以促進新加坡為「花園中的城市」, 也許這樣2013年新加坡就很快樂了。它離市區很近,步行五分鐘即可抵達,約佔地一平方公里, 囊括逾25 萬棵珍稀植物。園中建有多棵巨大的擎天大樹(Supertrees) ,十分引人注目。這裡風景別緻, 亭軒雅閣,綠草如茵,熱帶棕櫚處處可見,各色花卉爭相鬥艷。你還可以漫步在兩公里長的濱海灣環道,盡情飽覽城市天際線的壯麗美景,愈夜愈美麗。
Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government to transform Singapore from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". The stated aim is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city.
Marina Bay Sands is Singapore's landmark. 新加坡地標是濱海灣金沙, 位於第57 樓的空中花園, 還有一座無邊泳池。站在這裡,就有如登臨世界之巔,有一種無法言喻的美好感受(請看我們2011年的Swim in Sky)。 Marina Bay廣場是購物和美食天堂。
You can see Singapore riding MRT. 新加坡地鐵班次約5分鐘一次,非常方便。Kampong Glam(甘榜格南) 曾經是舊時蘇丹王宮所在地,最突出的建築就是雄偉的金頂蘇丹回教堂。這是一個具有豐富傳統和文化的地區, 參觀遊玩後,你可以步入兩邊具有濃郁阿拉伯風情的步行街。
我在附近找到馬來王族墓地(上面最後一張照片有黃絹的),開始以為這是柔佛蘇丹的祖墓, 後來才發現不是,是將新加坡統治權1819年交給英國人的蘇丹。他也將柔佛統治權交給天猛公, 成為後來的柔佛王朝。 The mosque and tombs above belonged to the sultan who gave Singapore away to Stamford Raffles in 1819. Later he gave away Johor to Temenggong.(See JB's History)
Many old buildings are kept inside downtown of the city. 在Raffles Hotel(萊佛士酒店) 附近找好幾條街道, 才找到很好吃的海南雞飯。我朋友要找這店,原來店的老招牌是他祖父寫的, 他祖父原是海南島秀才。

Live & eat in Singapore 住、食在新加坡
先看看它的動物住得好不好? 新加坡動物園被譽為全球最具特色的動物園之一,園內有超過3,600種鳥獸。園林設計十分精緻,身處其間,彷彿是在畫中游, 你可以近距離跟它們打招呼。Animals live well here.
新加坡住是非常貴的,租一個公寓需要幾千美元,最好住朋友的,吃朋友的。The rent for a condo is several thousand US dollars.
我們有幸可以免費借住在一個半獨立的房子,有免費的女傭。聽到說這房子值難以置信的4百萬美元。還好附近的大排檔,吃東西價格不貴(見下面菜單)。Email流傳: "到了新加坡才知道,路邊的芒果是沒有人敢摘的", 正好房子前有一棵芒果樹, 不是不敢摘, 是樹太高。Below shows some scenes of Yio Chu Kang. We were told that the semi-detached house(first 3 pictures) costed unbelievable 4 million US dollars.

如果要吃到便宜又好的原生態水果、美味海鮮, 新加坡人可以北上通過海峽,到達對岸(見上面地圖白色地區)。 Go to next post: 食、住在馬來西亞 Eat & Live in Malaysia
Compare to the past, please watch Singapore in the 60's. Below cover photo is Raffles Hotel:
