sinmgapore tourism



Sights would be a shame to miss it when you visit to Singapore is the Marina Bay, Esplanade, Merlion Statue, Fountain of Wealth. The most visited is probably required Merlion, symbol of Singapore. Several times I went to Singapore, where it was not my visit, but the sense of regret that I was treated as providing a special time to visit this place.
This place is located in the adjacent area. To visit this place, we can use the MRT and alight at Raffles Place station, now from here along the river we can enjoy the beauty of the river in Singapore. Incidentally time I visited at night, very romantic atmosphere on the edge of the river was lit by a beautiful lampu2 and not smell like sungai2 in Jakarta. Across the river there is a building that turned out to museums. This museum is the Asian Civilizations Museum, but unfortunately was closed so could only photograph the building from the outside only. Then there is also a magnificent Fullerton hotel.

After walking a while we can find a statue of the Merlion is a symbol of Singapore. There are two statues, one large and one mini version. In this very busy place visited by tourists. Believe it or not, but this place is hard to find you know, when it seemed very easy to achieve, but I and some of my friends wrote to Singapore have difficulty finding the location of the Merlion was lho. Funny ..

Not far from there Merlion statue esplanade building. This building is unique because it shaped like a durian. In this building are often held pameran2 and konser2 art. It was in Indonesia there is no equivalent to building this building as a place esplanade arts performances.

Singapore-SuntecAda an area called Suntec City, in the area there are shopping malls, offices, exhibition & conference rooms. And there is an area within the contained area Fountain of Wealth, which in particular would have jam2 show featuring a spray of water from above the ring-shaped building. Even at night at certain hours there will be a laser show spectacular enough. There is a belief if we hold the water from the fountain, it will bring luck, health and lain2 ... since there are up to, well might as well follow-up in the rituals surrounding the fountain water holding wrote out ..

The twin towers are located on the second highest in the world. The tower is located in Kuala Lumpur City Center. We must rise up to the bridge between these two buildings are on the floor 42. But for that we should have given free tickets, but we have to queue. And must be truly of the morning. I arrived at 7:30, it's queue snaking long. These outlets are located in the basement. I get the information that they were issued tickets for the 1600 people per day. One person can queue for tickets for a maximum of 5 people. After getting a ticket it will tell you what time we could go up, and we can walk first, then 15 minutes before getting ready to wait at the scene. Do not be late, because if too late, the tickets will be burnt. In addition to the ticket counter, there is a small museum room that shows how the use of high technology to build these skyscrapers. Having to anticipate earthquake, lightning, fire, climate change, and so forth. Be careful: CLOSED Monday ..
Inside this tower there is Suria KLCC, a huge mall and selling goods - items known. Along with the campaign "Visit Malaysia 2007", Malaysia also heavily campaigned Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival in the mid-year 2007. But a simple survey I compare a few things, ie camcorders, mobile phones and some other electronic equipment in Indonesia was much cheaper. So why spend all the way will be difficult especially if there is complaint. For any fashion products, which I find sale / discount on average there are 20-30% of 50%. Well it's in Indonesia if for sale 50%'s still often we meet. So let us focus on a walk .. But for the food, the price is not too far in Indonesia, and even some food at the food courtnya cheaper than the mall in Indonesia.

Located on the 4th floor of Suria KLCC shopping mall, petrosains is a place where we can learn science with interest. Many of the tools that we can try to practice science in action. If in Indonesia something like science and technology museum in Taman Mini. But this is far more modern and complete, we are about equal to the Singapore Science Center in Singapore. There are 2 options and Petrosains Speed Petrosains. Petrosains speed is smaller than petrosains. To play in petrosains takes about 4 hours, but because I did not have enough time so I just visited petrosains speed. Admission price for petrosains speed is RM 5 for adult and RM 3 for children. As for petrosains is RM 12 for adults and RM 4 for children. The children, especially the boys would have loved to play in it.

Saturday, Sunday and Holidays: 9:30 to 18:30

Eye on malaysia

Eye on the Ferris wheel MalaysiaIni is located next to the lake Titiwangsa. Of the capsule that there were 42 pieces, we can see the sights of Kuala Lumpur from a height. RM 15 ticket price for adults and RM 8 for children. We spun for about 5 times a round. Actually, at night there was a laser show, but since I came during the day so I can not see it. But in my opinion, eye on malaysia is still mediocre, not too special, either when at night.

This place is situated on the hill, well away from Kuala Lumpur, about 1.5 hours away by bus. There are buses from several terminals in Kuala Lumpur, namely Puduraya, KL Sentral, Terminal Putra, Pasarakyat. On the counter there are also packages for the crucial play for 1 day, including round-trip ticket, and a game there (there are indoor and outdoor yg). But my advice is better to spend the night there, because in addition to cheap room rates, nice hotel, the scenery was beautiful, very cool. And try to book via the Internet (www.genting.com.my), because you can get a special package at a low price.

In Parangtritis there is also horse-drawn carriage or a horse that can be rented for up the coast from east to west.

Floating market

By witnessing a view, as if the tourists were sightseeing. Canoes laden with merchandise vegetables, fruits, all kinds of fish and other household needs is available in the market afloat. As the sun began to emerge the market gradually began to retreat, the merchants began to leave the floating market with the results obtained with satisfaction.

Floating market atmosphere that is unique and special are jostling between large and small boats to find each other buyers and sellers who are always milling around and always shaky play Barito river waves. Floating market does not have an organization like the market on the mainland, so not recorded how many traders and visitors, or distribution of merchandise bersarkan merchants.

Floating Market

Women traders who sell their products boating alone or neighbors called the hamlet, while the second hand from the hamlet of buying for resale called panyambangan. Keistemewaan market is still common barter transactions between the traders and boating, which in the language called Banjar bapanduk, something unique and rare.

Still in the same region tourists can also visit Tuan Guru Mosque and Masjid Tuan Guru, Kembang island, islands and island Bakut Surprise. In the craft and Health have also carved to ornament the house of Banjar.

Raja ampat

The archipelago is a place of great potential to serve as objects of tourism, especially diving tourism. Raja Ampat Islands waters according to various sources, is one of the 10 best waters for diving sites around the world. In fact, it may also be recognized as number one for the completeness of flora and fauna under the water at this time.

Dr John Veron, coral expert from the Australian experience, for example, in a site he revealed, the Raja Ampat Islands located in the westernmost tip of the island of Papua, about 50 miles northwest of Sorong, has the best reef areas in Indonesia. Approximately 450 species of coral had been identified during the two weeks of research in the area.

Raja Ampat

Team of experts from Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy, and the National Oceanographic Institutions (LON) Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) has made rapid assessment in 2001 and 2002. The result, they are recorded in these waters there are more than 540 hard coral species (75% of the total species in the world), more than 1,000 species of reef fish, 700 types of mollusks, and the highest record for gonodactyloid stomatopod crustaceans. This makes 75% of the world's coral species are in Raja Ampat. No one place in the same area has a number of these coral species.

There are some reefs are still very good condition with the percentage of live corals closing up 90%, ie in the Dampier Strait (the strait between P. and P. Waigeo Batanta), Kofiau Islands, Islands and South East Misool Wayag Islands. Types of coral reefs in Raja Ampat coral reefs are generally the contour of the edge of steep ramps up. But also the type found in the atoll and the type of burning or taka. In some places like the village Saondarek, when the lowest tides, can be seen without any stretch of coral reef diving and the adaptation itself, the rock can still be alive despite being in the open air and direct sunlight.

Raja Ampat diving

Unique species that can be found at the time of diving are some of the pigmy seahorse species or mini kudalaut, wobbegong and manta ray. There is also a fish endemic to the Raja Ampat, namely Eviota king, the kind of fish gobbie. Manta point in supernal Arborek Dampier straits, you can dive in the company of a few tame Manta Ray like when you dive in Derawan Islands, East Kalimantan. If you dive at Cape Kri or Chicken Reef, you can be surrounded by thousands of fish. Sometimes a collection of tuna, giant trevallies and snappers. But a tense, if we are surrounded by a collection of barracuda fish, even though it was relatively harmless (which is dangerous if we see barracuda solitary or alone). Reef sharks are also frequently seen, and if lucky you can see the turtles were still eating sponge or swim around you. In some places like the Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo also seen Dugong or sea cow.

Because the area of many islands and narrow straits, so most dive sites at a particular time has a fast current. This allows also for the drift dive, dive, following a strong current with a very clear water with the fish through the collection. There are also relics of the plane sank into the Second World War can be found in some dive sites make a good place to wreck dive as in P. Wai. And many more reef sites that actually had never touched. This makes diving in Raja Ampat was more challenging.
