Hi Alice,
We are in Singapore for a week and will likely spend 3 or so days looking at the orchid show etc. We have had a few people suggest places to see; ie: Gurong bird park, Sentosa island, China town.... just looking for some ideas on what else to visit. Maybe some nice beaches or shopping etc. ( the 12 story mall has my interest). My husband is in the recycling business and therefore we'll probably seek out those types of businesses to check out. After Singapore we are doing an organized 10 day tour of China which will be more structured, Singapore is our free time. Thanks for any suggestions.
Brenda.

Hi Brenda,
Besides Sentosa, Chinatown and Jurong Bird Park, would you be interested also in visiting some orchid nurseries in Singapore? Or museums? Our company organises tours to rustic parts of Singapore - to showcase natural heritage and/or history.
Also, do you already have some recycling business contacts to visit? I am asking because my partner, Mark who is also Canadian (he has lived in Singapore for the past 11 years), makes assemblage/mixed media sculptural art installations from recycled materials. Please do email me at alice@spiderorchid.com.sg so that we can meet up when you are in Singapore!
