Tales of the far east continued...

After the Genting islands,we go on to the Afomosa resort. It was a complete contrast to the previous halt. It had a ranch feel with private villas and private swimming pools. Ground floor villas and green landscape, coutry side roads with trees lining both the sides of the road, no conveyance on road till you call for it, it is the ideal place to unwind after the hustle bustle of the Genting highlands. There are a host of activities that one can indulge in, in the sports arena like fishing, shooting, water park , animal shows at the night, etc.

After an overnight stay at Afomosa, we proceed in to the Lion City, Singapore. It is a small island, smaller than a lot of cities in India. Singapore has a very well maintained civic system. Some of the great places to visit in Singapore are Sentosa Islands, Jurong bird park and the Orchard road, a shopping mecca if one has the mullah. Few of the known places with great and comparitively cheaper stuff are Burgis market, Simlin park, etc. And ofcourse, Mustafa market, the 24 * 7 shop where you can find everything. Other things which you can indulge in at night are the numerous night clubs there. After the Singapore hopping gets over, one heads to the Singapore airport where you can indulge in some more duty free shopping.

Overall, it was a great experience. After all the islands gets soo many tourists every year, that tourism is their main industry.
