Singapore
My (Sharon again!) top family holiday destination in Asia has to be
Singapore. It is just perfect for families with kids of all ages. It has
everything I look for in a destination – interesting culture, easy to
get around, great food, many and varied attractions.
The mix of Malay, Indian and Chinese cultures is apparent and adds to
the appeal of Singapore – as well as the taste! There is also a strong
British influence and many expats to give it a very multicultural vibe.
The common language is English and you will see this everywhere which
makes things extra easy.
The subway system is unreal. Efficient and thorough and will take you
to most destinations. As for attractions there are many! We
particularly loved Universal Studios Singapore,
and there are also water parks, the world’s largest aquarium, a
fabulous zoo and many cultural attractions as well. You could spend
weeks here and not run out of new things to do. The only downside is the
cost, Singapore is not cheap.
Travel Tips: Bring plenty of money, do not expect it to be comparable
in cost to the neighbouring countries. Try lots of food and get to some
hawker centres.
