Getting around in Singapore is easy and inexpensive. Excellent bus services complement one of the world's most modern and efficient Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) systems. Visitors can purchase a Singapore Explorer ticket for use on buses, at ¡ç5 for a one day pass of ¡ç12 for a three day pass. The bus guide and a map of Singapore should be sufficient for you to carry out a little bit of exploring on your own. Taxis are metered and air conditioned. Self drive and chauffeur driven cars can also be hired from a number of operators.
     The best way to experience the Singaporean way of life is to take in its sights, sounds and smells first hand; and one of the best ways of doing this is to take a self guided tour of our ethnic quarters and thematic district. Using the 'Yours to Explore' guides which feature ethnic and thematic areas like Chinatown, Little India, Kampung Glam, the Singapore River and Orchard Road, you can immerse yourself into the daily lifestyle of the locals. The maps will guide you on a walking tour through the area, explaining landmarks and unique practices. You will be introduced to streets where time has stood still since the 1950s, learn about local superstitions as well as see exotic items being sold at modern, air conditioned department stores. The 'Yours to Explore' guides can be picked up from your nearest Singapore Tourism Board International Office, from the Singapore Changi Airport (upon arrival in Singapore) or from the Singapore Tourism Board's Information Center at Raffles Hotel
      When the sun goes down, the fun continues in Singapore with all kinds of entertainment ranging from classical symphonies, to Chinese street operas, jazz to theatre and rock to the latest Hollywood movies. Cinemas in and around the city center show everything from the latest Hollywood blockbusters and art films to Chinese dramas. There are also many cineplexes and multiplexes featuring 5 to 10 movies at any time. The array of pubs, bars, discos and karaoke lounges is equally exciting and can be found in surprising corners of the city like old shop houses and warehouses, in addition to shopping malls and hotels.
      Cuisine from all over the world converge in Singapore. In addition to the several unique local dishes which have evolved through the fusion of the different ethic cooking styles, Singapore also offers an array of Western cuisine. From five star restaurants to outdoor eating stalls there are well over 20, 000 eating establishments in Singapore, including vegetarian and halal outlets. The difficulty would be deciding what to eat rather than finding a place to eat.
