Text of the page (random words):
ened to me twice in three days while travelling in singapore many times i asked myself if this is modern architecture what is it in turkey or in europe singapore is a young and beautifully and intelligently architectured city what kind of a fantasy can make you build three skyscrapers and connect them with a boat at the top so that you can have a city view that you can watch while swimming see the building in the background of the photo above national museum of singapore finding souvenirs in singapore is very tricky it looks like shopping is a big deal in singapore but you really need to be well off to be comfortable with your spending depending on where you shop prices at the shopping malls are quite pricey i went into a kids clothing shop and with 50 discount a children s top was 100 singapore dollars you can try bugis street market but even though the prices may be attractive the quality of products is really low and when you want to buy souvenirs everything looks like made in china after visiting bugis street we went to a buddhist and hindu temple and afterwards we found our way to the national museum of singapore by the time we arrived there it was 6pm at the entrance it said entrance free and the museum is open until 8pm we said jolly good and had a look at the museum if you want to find a nice souvenir i recommend the museum shop some of the galleries were closed but we could visit one of them interestingly when we went back to the museum the next day they said that we needed to pay to see the galleries tips if you are travelling with a baby it is a clean and nice city i found it very easy to travel with a baby in singapore highly recommended you need to fold your pram when you get on a bus it needs to stay folded throughout your journey it is easy to find ready meals in jars for your baby a small jar organic for around 2 singapore dollars naturally my baby doesn t like eating spicy foods breastfeeding bananas porridge and eggs saved my life easy to feed singapore is a warm and humid city i normally don t use sun block on my baby s skin instead i try not to take her outside under hot sun between 10am and 5pm and make sure that she wears long sleeves and leggings to protect her from sun but because we only had 3 days in singapore and we were exclusively tourists i had to give up on my rules for three days make sure you have some sun block for your baby singapore can be very rainy apparently the worst month to go there is december and we were there just before the new year it was not too hot but definitely it rained and it was humid even if you don t like using umbrellas make sure that you carry your baby s pram s rain cover most importantly our baby did not need any extra vaccination to go to singapore notes on food there are different yummy cuisines in singapore but the malaysian cuisine is the cheapest to try my husband had a vegetarian dish for only 2 dollars food is cheap depending on where you buy it our friends who live in singapore do not even cook at home because it is really cheap you can eat a nice bowl of noodles for only 4 singapore dollars finding vegetarian food is easy but in big shopping malls it can be difficult don t know why what i know is we spent more than 2 hours looking for vegetarian food in shopping centres and couldn t find any we ended up going to a market 7 eleven and bought a cheese pastry thingy fresh juices such as coconut are great to try you drink your coconut juice from the fruit shell itself and then you can scrape its flesh with a spoon and eat it how cool is that money matters don t worry about the rates at the exchange offices at the airport they offer pretty much what they offer at the city centre up to 1 cent in the dollar max before going there everyone said that credit cards are widely accepted but i recommend you not to rely on credit cards for instance they say taxis accept credit cards yes they accept credit cards but they charge you 10 extra for that keep in mind that if you book a taxi in advance you need to pay more than the usual price don t do like we did spare some extra money before you leave luckily we had great friends there to lend us some money supermarkets at the city centre are more expensive than the ones in suburbian areas and being tourists it is not that easy to locate supermarkets one last suggestion if you have time visiting the spice garden in canning park next to the museum is a very good experience you can show your child where spices such as cardamom clove ginger etc come from posted by nymph at 02 42 no comments friday 19 november 2010 su life su i normally never liked drinking water many of my relatives from my father s side don t like drinking water either and they suffer from kidney problems after i got pregnant i started drinking water more and more and there came a moment of realisation that water is life my baby needs water to exist so i drink lots of water in geography lessons teachers told us that 2 3 of the world consists of water in biology lessons teachers told us that 2 3 of our bodies are made up of water so i thought that would be a great topic for a travel blog wherever you travel water is one of the most crucial needs in some countries you can just turn the tap on and drink water from the tap in some countries tap water is even not good for brushing your teeth among all countries i have been to sweden has the best drinkable tap water you just turn the tap on and you have water as if from the source of a spring it s refreshing and nice the least drinkable tap water i had was in brussels the quality of the water is so horrible that in supermarkets cornershops they sell water syrups what s water syrup it s basically concentrated aroma and sugar that you add into your water glass so that you don t hate the water you re drinking from the tap while i lived in brussels i had two bottles of water syrup strawberry and mint i couldn t drink either of them and when my husband tried to finish them in order not to waste them he commented i always wanted to try drinking mouth wash if i feel like drinking mouth wash i drink my water with the mint syrup if i want to drink my water with coughing syrup sensation i try the strawberry syrup well i tried brussels tap water for a week and after i kept on having diarreahea for a week i started buying bottled water from delhaize supermarkets in turkey noone drinks water from taps at least in the western part of turkey it s mainly because the pipes in turkey are old and not clean but turks have a good system for bottled water when i used to live in the uk we had to go to supermarkets and carry bottles of water from the supermarkets but in turkey there re lots of bottled water companies almost in every corner you just call them or if it s very nearby you go to the shop and order your water in 5 minutes or so a guy brings 20 litres of water to your door for only 1 or 2 quid it s also environmentally friendly because you don t waste water bottles each time the water guy comes he takes the previous one back and sends it to the factory to be cleaned and filled again with water i guess this is partially environmentally friendly many people drink tap water in the uk but if you ask me it tastes horrible and it makes me really sick water and hair the best water for washing my hair was in the uk it was miraculous my hair always had a great volume and it didn t get fuzzy but my experience in turkey and south korea was horrible in korea well at least in seoul as far as i know they just recycle water so the water you use was possibly used by someone else before you and the urban myth for this is korean water increases the amount of hair you have particularly in istanbul the water quality is very poor possibly water quality is better in anatolia compared to istanbul well i have no idea about what they add into the water of a city of 16 million people another thing about water is rain i don t know if it is another urban myth or not but what i heard was you should avoid rain touching skin face in korea and england the wind coming from china to korea and the wind coming from france to england carry industrial particles that can be harmful for people who are exposed to the rain water in new zealand they use rain water as their drinking water except in cities everyone has a water tank and they compile water in it throughout the year my husband told me when he was a kid he had to go to dentist to have fluoride treatment because they didn t have any fluoride in the water that they used daily well who would guess that there is an advantage of using city water extra useless information in korean every week day is attributed to an element so the word for wednesday is su yoil which mean water day interestingly the word su water comes from chinese and in turkish su means water as well i guess this word shows it well that in modern turkish we still use the words that turks brought with them from the central asia more than a thousand years ago posted by nymph at 15 27 1 comment sunday 31 january 2010 cafes i love cafe culture i love small un franchised cafes i love personal relations in cafes with the waiter waitress with the cashier with the owner with the friend that i go to the cafe with i love meeting at a cafe one of the best things with istanbul is along with so many other things when you don t know what to do you just go to istiklal caddesi look around feel your instincts go to a cul de sac find an apartment block on that cul de sac go to the 5th floor of that apartment block and discover two cafes facing bosphorus with its glorious view with lovely proper turkish tea there are as many cafes in istanbul as there are sea seagulls in bosphorus and discovering cafes is an addiction that you ll enjoy more and more everyday and you collect memories as you discover each cafe one with the moment that you broke up with your boyfriend one in which you listened to your friend s news she got engaged with a man she knows only for a short time one in which you studied for your final exams in your 3rd year at the university one in which you had deep philosophical conversations one in which you played the guitar and everyone sang together one in which you learned how to play backgammon i love cafes i love cosiness the comfort that you feel at cafes well finding cafes in the uk is as hard as seeing seagulls in birmingham city centre if there are any they are franchised the same decor the same taste nothing is exciting to discover i went to northfield in birmingham today there was a cafe but actually it was more of a diner than a cafe i really liked the atmosphere there there was a sign on the wall i ordered a baguette with a can of fizzy drink crisps for only 1 99 and then maybe waited for 5 minutes waiting for the food then the lady served the baguette with a large plate of chips and then we said we didn t order any chips she said it took such a long time for her to serve the food that she wanted to compensate for it and then brought another can of fizzy drink again saying it took a long time for her to serve moreover the baguette had more tuna than any baguette that i ve ever seen customers seemed to be locals and friendly it s such a nice feeling to find nice places to eat the clock cafe yes it has many big clocks in it is 1 minute to the northfield pool and fitness centre by the way gym and pool centres in birmingham are free to all who are residents in birmingham until 2011 i guess posted by nymph at 21 58 no comments sunday 22 november 2009 birmingham palace we went to birmingham palace three weeks ago no you didn t hear me wrong birmingham palace we have a palace in birmingham actually five years ago when i was chatting on msn and told my turkish friend who was living in china then that i would go to birmingham to study he said oh send me a photo from birmingham palace and i said birmingham palace there isn t such a thing there s buckingham palace and he said he found it on google search and took a photo of his desktop and sent that photo to me and yes on google search there was birmingham palace but it was actually buckingham palace i think a chinese guy remembered the name wrong and put it on his blog as birmingham palace but hold on i ve been to birmingham palace well it s not called birmingham palace it s called aston hall but if there is any place to be called birmingham palace it should be aston hall it s only open only from mid july till the end of october you can have more information on http www bmag org uk aston hall if you like cavernous dreary old mansions from bygone years where the ghosts of rich people complain in whispers about the poor taste of the peacock meat and the cold draught coming from window in the orange room actually it s a bedroom with a ceiling full of orange tree carvings this is where it takes its name from then you might like it posted by nymph at 11 26 no comments tuesday 17 november 2009 drink of happiness hot chocolate if i put on weight during my studies in korea there were two reasons for this and the first one was hot chocolate god i loved the hot chocolate that i bought in seoul national university if i remember it right from the café under the business school and yonsei university the café in global lounge lovely hot chocolate made with real dairy cream and topped with either chocolate sauce or pistachio nuts yummmmm and i used to pay only 1000 or 1200 won the best served hot chocolate i drank in brussels i went to a café in ixelles 15 mins from the european parliament and of course i ordered hot chocolate and the waiter brought a tray with a cup with hot milk in a small porcelain spoon like shovel full of chocolate chips and a biscuit so i poured the chocolate chips into my hot milk and they melted and became yummy hot chocolate i was really impressed and in russell nz there is a small ice cream drinks shop at which my family is addicted to drinking hot chocolates specially the hot chocolate named nutty irishman and they are yummm too generally each cup of hot chocolate is 5 nz so quite expensive compared to the ones in seoul but for that gorgeous view i think it s worth it also in nz i discovered something between hot chocolate and energy drink which turns out to be quite famous in asia as well milo it was harder to find it in the uk last year but this year i can find it in most of the major supermarkets you add two spoons of milo and milk and hot water and preferably a teaspoon of sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon how about hot chocolates in the uk well to tell the truth in this capitalist everything franchised economical system what you can find is starbucks costa café etc it s so hard to find small cafés here at least in birmingham i should say hot chocolates don t taste that nice at all because when you drink something in a franchised shop you don t feel special you feel like you are just a part of the commercial world that sells you a cup of coffee to add another shop or swimming...
