Unforgettable Singapore
I went on a three day trip to Singapore in April, 2016. It was my second time to visit southeast Asia, after Cambodia. Singapore has many famous sightseeing spots such as the Merlion, Night Safari and Gardens by the Bay, however, I am going tell you about other memorable events of my trip. There were two unforgettable moments during my journey.
First, I was delighted by the Koon Seng Road in the Katong area of the East Region. Katong is well-known for Peranakan culture. Rich Peranakan residents used to live in this area and many pretty houses remain. It is characteristic of Peranakan houses to have rich door and wall fretwork. I walked around the neighborhood a long time although it was hot and humid. I appreciated to beautiful decorative design of the houses.
Second, I very much enjoyed Sentosa. The island lies among the Southern Islands in the Central Region of Singapore. I went there by subway and monorail. In the “Mega Adventure” field, I tried a very thrilling attraction, called the “Mega Zip.” After the staff attached a safety belt to my waist, I slid sharply down from atop a 450 meter mountain to the beach at a speed of 60 kilometers an hour. I was really frightened when I looked down but it gave me a good thrill!
Singapore is the cleanest and safest country that I have ever visited. I think the memory of these happy days will last forever.
