Don't forget to visit Raffles for a Singapore Sling; I know it's very touristy but you'll regret it if you don't do it. The food is excellent as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9271 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9263 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9263 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9261 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9261 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9253 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9253 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9243
There are also several work-out stations, and a couple of reflexology circles. These are uptured pebbles of varying degrees of sharpness laid out in a circle for you to walk on and invigorate you feet with a self foot massage. There are also clumps of restaurants and bars serving different kinds of foods.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9243 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9242
Best of all is BREWERKZ microbrewery on the other side from Clarke Quay, which has an outside terrace with retractable sun blinds, or inside comfort away from the heat. This place has a range of ten or so different beers brewed on the premises. Try the "sampler" of several different small glasses, or cut straight to my favourite,the best of all ........ IPA. Good food is available at Brewerkz and there is a wine bar adjacent.

Clarke Quay itself has lots of restaurants, music pubs and shops. Walk on to Boat Quay then to the fabulous Fullerton Hotel. This was the old British era Post Office and has been expensively refurbished as a top hotel. There is a nice bar where the old counter room was. Over the bridge from the Fullerton is the centre of British Colonial Singapore.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9242 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9331 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9331 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9320
Walk on the pavement that runs parallel to the beach until you get close to Changi airport, and then catch the awesome sight of the 747s which seem to descend to land just about 50 feet above your head.

You can see the planes queueing for miles on a clear day and about one a minute coming in which look like they are going to land on you. The wheels descend just before they reach the beach. It may seem surreal, but it is a truly awesome experience - bring a camera!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9320 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9309 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9309 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9244
The Treetops trail is awesome - a walkway a hundred feet in the air, through the vegetation. The ground-level walkway is well signposted, and even though it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, you're never too far away from civilisation.

Runners and walkers scoot round here every Sunday morning - it makes a great start to the day - but the shady paths make it a pleasant walk at any time of the day. A real treasure and a great alternative to hitting the malls while you're in Singapore.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9244
