Another Weekend in Singapore – Chinatown, Shopping and the Beach

First I must say I am really moved that more and more members of my family are opening the ’singtime’ link ! even if they are not able to understand anything, they can look at all the beautiful photos that we upload almost everyday and thanks to this, they at least get the impression how perfect and happy and amazing our stay in Singapore is

We just said goodbye to our next relaxing weekend here. This time we explored China Town which generally means eating chestnuts (Maronen) and visiting some pretty impressing temples (including the biggest and oldest chinese (Confucius) temple in Singapore. Fans of chinese cuisine can also try the very authentic chinese food offered in numerous foodcourts here. Not the first joice for us however…Actually, after a couple of weeks eating local dishes in huge quantities, I started to go for italian and generally european food more and more often. French Fries, Pizza, or simple bread with butter and eggs are something you can never compensate in a long run! Even not with best quality sea food. Well, at least that is my STRONG personal opinion

According to shopping: as one of the most beloved hobbys of the Singaporeans, one must not neglect this exciting activity and spend at least one day in a month on Orchard road! It is exhausting, definitely it is. But also interesting and much much fun , especially for the ladies! So this Saturday, ready for everything, aware of the heavy crowds waiting for us in the malls, we set off to explore the singapore’s biggest shopping street, offering an immense variety of products, and mainly clothes and SHOES !!! Very surpisingly , we got stuck in Zara, which sells really cool stuff here. But also checked more than a dozen of shoe shops. After 2 hours everybody was tired and satisified enough to finish shopping and proceed to Laras condor pool next to Orchard. And that was fun! Really relaxing as you can see on the photos . Only Patric did not buy anything… busy enough advising Lara, Juliane and me on what to buy and what not to buy (there were by the way many more advises rather discourage from purchase..men…they can be so reasonable when their credit card is at stake )

After intensive Saturday, we obviously landed at the beach on Sunday. No sun but much fun , I would sum up in one sentence. Some volleyball, some swimming, some reading and the Tagesschau as podcasts… what more could I want from a Sunday? Nothing pops into my mind hope you enjoyed your weekend too… also those freezing in Germany, and freezing even more in good old Poland ! © by Agnieszka:
