Also, eat at the food stalls and buy a Makansutra if you can find it, or read the Calvin Trillin article in the New Yorker to determine which food stalls to visit.

If you're flying in and out of Changi, and just staying overnight, stay at the Changi Village Hotel. Check out the shops on 33 Erskine Road. Treat yourself to a foot massage in Chinatown.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18183 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13743
The cosy room at the City Backpackers, as well as its location in the heart of Singapore, near to the Raffles City Shopping Complex and the Esplanade Concert Hall and Theatre, couldn't be better.

A big thank you to the friendly staff!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13743 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9360
Decorated with IKEA furniture, free kitchen use, free breakfast and free internet use. Excellent service and location in Little India district.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9360 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9352
Owned by 2 Singaporeans, Hai & Ping, the place is always fully booked. So booking in advance is definitely recommended!!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9352 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9328
The hotel will try to sell you transport to the attractions, but you can easily go there on your own using the MRT and are perfectly allowed to do so.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9328 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9254 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9254 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9245 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9245 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9154 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9154 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9322
Across the road is a big food court which offers pretty much anything that's local. Tonnes of fruit, stacks of "popiah" which are like roll-it-yourself spring rolls, gallons of fresh juices...don't let the grubby appearance of the places put you off. My girlfriend was very particular about food but even she was amazed by the loveliness of the hawker stalls. There are beautiful temples within two minutes' walk, and for nerdy techno freaks like me, Sim Lim Square is 5 minutes away if you want to buy yourself an iPod, camera or computer...enjoy!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9322 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9308
Although it’s not in the centre of town, it is near a beach and ideal for early morning flights from the nearby airport.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9308
