3. TRANSPORTATION METHOD



Singapore offers a well-connected and efficient transportation system. We mainly used the MRT (train), known for its reliability and convenience. For destinations not accessible by train, we took taxis, which provided a comfortable and hassle-free ride.


4. MODE OF PAYMENT

Singapore offers various payment options for convenience. You can use your GCash Card to pay for train and bus rides. However, most hawker centers accept only cash, so it's best to carry some with you. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in malls, restaurants, and tourist attractions.


5. WHERE WE STAYED


We chose to stay at Arena Esports Hotel because of its excellent location. It’s right next to Bugis Market, making it easy to shop for pasalubong. The hotel is also close to an MRT station, with a Jollibee conveniently located just below.


Singapore offers a seamless travel experience with its efficient transportation, diverse payment options, and exciting attractions. From iconic landmarks to vibrant shopping spots, every corner has something to explore. With convenient accommodations and easy access to delicious food, our trip was both enjoyable and hassle-free.
