 Market and eat at The Banana Leaf Singaporean hawker-style eatery.
I can't wait to go to those gardens on the next trip to Singapore.
Happy Travels!
Wow! Thanks for sharing. Just in time. We (me and my husband) are planning to visit Singapore again before the end of this month. Our last visit was December 2010 and it was not there yet. We'll definitely see that amazing architecture!
Thanks for sharing. How many days would you recommend devoting to visiting Singapore? Note, we are not interested in shopping.
How much time? Really depends on your trip and what you like to do. Singapore has a lot packed into a small space. Check out the original Singapore walking tours to get an idea of the main sites and ethnic groups. They offer really interesting guided tours. There are lots of other sites, like the botanical gardens (fabulous), zoo, night safari, Asian Cultural Museum (great), National Museum (also quite good), Gardens by the Bay. etc.
Singapore is a very easy place to visit. It is safe, clean, with a high std of living, and full of beautiful tropical flowers and gorgeous landscaping.

Being the largest island in the French Polynesia, Tahiti has a lot to offer a couple searching to celebrate love. The French Polynesia is made up of 118 islands, and Tahiti is just one of many. When people hear the name Tahiti they think of secluded beaches, and the odd errant coconut. However, Tahiti is more than just a beautiful destination. Tahiti allows for people to come from all over the globe to celebrate a honeymoon, vow renewal and even a destination wedding. It is an experience that many people don’t have an opportunity to have within their lifetime. Make it count.
Getting married is the ultimate relationship milestone and requires the utmost celebration. The union of two separate hearts becoming one deserves the most unique ceremony, as no heart is the same as another. Say your vows with the gorgeous backdrops of white sandy beaches, 2 extinct volcanoes, over-water chapels, or beautiful yachts which can be found on the sparkling island of Tahiti. The island was created especially for this special moment that everyone has come to experience. The island is a must see and is something that you can’t find anywhere else in the world: the optimum wedding destination.
The island of Tahiti is part of the French Polynesia and in order to get married there, there are certain rules you must follow. A very common rule known by many of us is the fact that both the bride and the groom must be legal adults (thus, 18 years of age by the date of the ceremony), and can not be part of the same family line.
The ceremony must also have both the bride and groom present on the date and be performed in front of witnesses that are also above 18 years of age. Since the island does reside within the borders of French Polynesia, the ceremony will be performed in French; however, the couple may bring a translator to the ceremony in order for the couple to understand exactly what is being said.The couple must also bring a valid identification that cannot expire 60 days prior to the wedding day and a birth certificate, that has to have a certified French translation for the marriage in Tahiti to be legally binding.
Finally, the couple must write a letter to the Mayor of the commune that they wish to get married in and additionally fill out the “Foreign Weddings in French Polynesia” document to also be presented to the mayor. These documents must be sent at least 45 days before the wedding to insure proper filing. All these documents allow for you to start your lives together the second you both say “I do”.
You can arrange a traditional Tahitian wedding ceremony. Although these traditional wedding events are most popular with people on their honeymoon or renewing their vows, the traditional wedding is a hard to miss experience.The ceremony begins with the bride receiving a relaxing oil massage by her own Tahitian “bridesmaid” that was given to her, while surrounded by a variety of traditional bouquet of flowers. While the bride is being treated, the groom is taken to a small islet on a Canoe where he is to be painted with traditional tattoos, and given a crown to wear during the reception.
During the ceremony, the bride wears a traditional Tahitian wedding dress and flower headpiece to. Also, a Tahitian gives the bride and groom their own Tahitian names to be used, as well as a name for their first born child. Following the ceremony, the newly weds travel on a sunset cruise where they listen to romantic Tahitian music being sung to them. This ceremony can only be found on the islands of Tahitian and is unlike anything else in the world.
Having a traditional wedding can be a truly life changing experience, especially if you have it in the right location. The islands of Tahiti are that location. They hold onto the ancient Tahitian tradition that gives your destination wedding a kick that other weddings just don't have. Make your wedding stand out with a wedding that will be completely unique and special for you and your fiance.

    PITTSBURG (CBS SF) — A Pittsburg woman who was cheating on her husband was arrested Wednesday along with three other men – including the woman’s boyfriend – after a burglary plot against the husband turned deadly, according to authorities.
28-year-old Charmaine Leon Guerrero Taijeron was in custody after her unidentified husband stabbed to death an intruder in their Leland Road apartment. The intruder was identified as 54-year-old Robert Earl Lindsey, a transient with a lengthy criminal history according to Pittsburg Police.
Taijeron was arrested along with 22-year-old Matt Terrell Parker, his brother, 21-year-old Charles Edward Parker, and 21-year-old Jimmy Watkins Salgado.
Pittsburg Police Lt. Ron Raman said that Taijeron’s husband had learned that she had been having an affair with Matt Parker, and the couple had decided to separate.
According to Lt. Raman, the husband was taking longer to move out than Taijeron anticipated, so she and the others allegedly hatched a plan to burglarize her husband’s medical marijuana grow at the apartment in hopes of intimidating her husband into moving out quickly.
Taijeron provided Charles Parker, Salgado and Lindsey with keys to the apartment, Raman said.
But when Lindsey – armed with a replica gun – entered the apartment, the husband – who had gotten his own firearm – confronted him and the two struggled, with both losing their weapons, police said.
The husband then retrieved a knife and fatally stabbed Lindsey in the neck, according to Raman.
Taijeron and the three other suspects were being held on suspicion of homicide due to their involvement in the conspiracy that led to the death of Lindsey, police said, even though neither Taijeron nor Matt Parker were at the home during the burglary.
Charles Parker and Salgado fled the home, but were detained by police shortly after arriving at the scene.
The husband had no knowledge of the burglary plot, acted in self-defense and was not arrested, police said.
He was not hurt during the incident.
