May 2010 - Things to Do

How do you spend your weekends?

Singapore's 600 square kilometers pack an amazing punch when it comes to finding things to do.

Here are just a few of the latest suggestions to make it to our list: watch IMAX movies, learn about Straits Chinese culture, fly high on the Singapore Flyer or on forest canopy zip lines at Forest Adventure, or check out Sentosa's latest attraction - Universal Studios.

October 2009 - Getting Around

Now that the excitement from the 2009 Singapore F1 Grand Prix has settled down, it's time to go back to more mundane ways of getting around the city.

Singapore's popular transit card, the EZ-Link card, has just completed switching over to a new version. If you missed your chance to exchange your old EZ-Link card (which ended October 7), you can still get a refund on your existing card value but will need to pay $15 for a new card. This covers the $5 card deposit and $10 initial travel value.

The new CEPAS-compliant EZ-Link cards can store up to $500 and will be able to be used in car readers for paying ERP tolls.
