Singapore
|
|
The
name Singapore came from the Sanskrit words
singa and pura - singa meaning lion and pura
meaning city. Formerly known as Temasek,
legend has it that during the 14th century a Sri
Vijayan prince encountered a lion upon setting
foot on the island, believing the sighting to be
an auspicious omen, the elated prince
immediately gave the island its new name.
Singapore is now a vibrant destination where you
can experience the modern and multicultural face
of Asia.
A
melting pot of cultures, religions, dress and
cuisine all combines to form the Singapore way
of life. Food can be inexpensive, from an
outdoor eating stall or international cuisine in
one of the fine dining restaurants.
Shopping varies from market stalls to designer
shops and entertainment has something for
everyone from Indian movies to lively
discotheques and heritage museums to hi tech
theme parks. Places of interest include
the Science Centre, Jurong Bird Park, Sentosa
Island, Underwater World, Volcano Land, Snow
City and Chinatown. |
