Singapore Trip Overview
Discover the best-kept secrets of Singapore, where there’s more than meets the eye!
If you’ve ever wondered if there’s more to this island state’s efficiency and sleekness, this one-of-a-kind walk takes you to the fringes of the city centre, going off the beaten path to discover ‘Singapore Uncut’.
Hear stories of vices from the past (and present?), peep into forgotten places of worship, and have a chat with Hyperlocals on what’s happening. Let’s scratch off its bling to reveal what’s actually beneath its surface.
Jalan Besar – which means ‘Big Road’ in Malay – is an underrated treasure with its trove of cultural and lifestyle spots. We’ll take you to some of those nooks and crannies you may have missed.
It’s a light, leisure stroll with plenty of shade along the way, as we discover the paradox of Singapore’s “hardware” developing at a lightning pace vs while some of the “software” are clearly trailing behind.
We’ll talk about anything under the sun!
