Singapore Day 5-- Botanic Gardens (2008-12-05)
Today is all about buses. First we took a bus to the Botanic Gardens because KL is very interested in plants and flowers, and he also wanted to check out the Orchid Garden inside Botanic Gardens.
I much prefer the buses to trains in Singapore. They cost
about the same but buses give you an almost door-to-door service and
the scenery is much more enjoyable to look at from inside a bus
window. The bus schedules at bus stops are pretty accurate and
are easy to read. Don't worry about not knowing where to get off,
when you get on a bus, ask the driver if the bus goes to so and so, if
he says yes, then sit close to him and he always alerts you at your
stop. All the bus drivers we encountered were very friendly and
helpful, Singapore is afterall a tourist oriented country and everybody
understands English.
Because I took so many pictures in the Botanic Gardens, I'm gonna
split them into three lots to post. The rest of day 5 will follow
after all the Gardens photos are up.
