The expensive one is significantly less popular with the fans too.Quote:

A Singapore Sling at Raffles will set you back about 25 quid these days......Quote:

Other than that, there isnt much left. Unless you can wangle an invite to the cricket club:-)
Cheers - just spent 2 hours in the botanical gardens, could have spent the day there, easily.Quote:

I hope you’re staying at Raffles, and not some hideously vulgar upstart like Marina Bay Sands.Quote:

Sadly we had to sit next to a very loud Geordie who spent the entire time telling everyone how much money he makes. Raffles is like this, I?m afraid.
Brilliant :hehe::hehe:Quote:

I was supposed to be in Singapore two weeks ago but had to pull out. A couple of colleagues went to Raffles and had a sling, and moaned about the price. So I wasn't guessing.
A long walk down the river to Clarke Quay is nice, past the Raffles landing place, and over that weird bridge that a scotsman built, past the Fullerton. There is also a Hooters down there :hehe:
I?ve literally seen all of that Peter :hehe:Quote:

The Hooters really doesn't 'meet the brief' , if you know what I mean :-)Quote:

Although there is the Zoo, I suppose.
You'd better rob something. Cutlery, a napkin, something from the bogs whatever. They can't call themselves Raffles and not expect gentleman thieves.Quote:
