I've read from a blog once that once you start going places on your own, it changes you. And I feel like this is changing me. As a new year resolution, I promised myself this #epic2013 motto and have listed lots of places already. When I say plan, it means everything I need is already in place and is just waiting for the green light. All the places listed on my travel log (on the right side) each have a google documented file that includes : itinerary, basic information, budget, visa requirements and important dates before departure. And yes I have this up until my Canada trip next year.
Back to May, there are only two possible destinations that I could go to that both my budget and schedule permit:
1. Singapore (again)
2. Taiwan (TW Virgin)
There are two possible scenarios:
1. Singapore
A. If I go to Singapore, I could revisit the places I wish I could've stayed longer 3 years ago like Sentosa and Universal Studios.
B. I would not miss a chance to stay at the famous Marina Bay Sands, swim at the most spectacular infinity pool and visit the new Gardens by The Bay.
C. Have a drink in Clarke Quay. Even a bottle of beer(I don't drink beer. But for the sake of tambay I would)
D. Visit Orchard Road and window shop.
2. Taiwan
A. If I go to Taiwan, I will be visiting and getting my first Taiwan Visa.
B. I could eat to my heart's content and drink authentic Taiwan Tea.
C. Being in a new place and walk to where my feet take me.
D. Hop on a tour bus and just take hundreds and hundreds of pictures.
And even after completing this blog, I am still Undecided. Help, anyone?
It depends on what you're looking for in the place you are going to visit. :)
ReplyDeleteSingapore's more convenient since it's quite small and everyone speaks English. :) There are some pretty nice spots to hangout and there's a night life. In term's of shopping, I think HKG is a better place to shop so you don't need to shop in Singapore, haha! Plus you've been there already so you can plan out your itinerary down to the T and you won't have a hard time going around.
Taiwan is much more...hmmm RAW. Hahaha! Meaning, there's a language barrier and they're not really used to tourists (if not from Mainland China). On the other hand, people are still good natured and they try to help as much as they can. You need some research and more preparation for TPE compared to Singapore. :) There are not that much sights in Taiwan compared to Singapore but I think the food is better. :) And there are its night markets which are quite interesting.
So I say... you have two choices, the familiar and guaranteed fun trip to Singapore or an unfamiliar and new trip to Taiwan. :)
Thank you Ms. Andrea! Hahaha! I prefer something new and RAW! hahaha But I guess I'll have to check din with my budget. At least in SG I have a cousin pala! But if ever I go to TW, I'll ask for your opinion on where to go, what to eat and do. Hopefully, youre also there when I go! hahaha :) Thanks for the input!
