1. What do you need to bring to Singapore?

As well as traveling in other countries, besides clothes, money and personal belongings. Then when you go to Singapore you should bring the following items, it will definitely be necessary and useful for your journey.

Oh, whether : Singapore is an Asian country and the weather is quite similar to the weather in the South, Vietnam has a lot of sunshine, but there are times but there are quick showers coming and quickly melting, so whether the items will be items Your lack of travel through this country. When you have it, though, you can move freely and don't have to wait to wait for the rain to stop affecting your schedule. Each person carrying a tree, though small, is the best one, should not bring a kind of umbrella that is very entangled.

Three-pin switch legs : Unlike in Vietnam, power outlets in Singapore are mostly three-pin drives, while most of the items we buy in Vietnam are flat or round double-headed drives, so when there you will find it difficult to charge your phone if the hotel / inn is not equipped with a universal outlet. So, more redundancy is missing, you should stick with your side a small small electrical switch like this is the most convenient. Please do not buy the switch too big because it may be working and you do not attach it to the socket (ie there is no electricity).

Do not bring singum : If you are a person who likes to eat singum candy, you should be careful when going to Singapore, because the government of this country forbids people and tourists to eat singum, so there is less trade here. If you have brought a pot of singum in your body, it's best not to take it out to eat in public or when traveling on the street and in the hotel, if found, you'll be very annoying.

Should bring a pair of sandals + a pair of walking shoes, should not go high heels : in Singapore, people mainly travel by public transport and walking, and high probability you will have to walk a lot so bring High heels to move long distances will make you very uncomfortable and sore feet. So bring a pair to walk when it's sunny, and if it rains, poke the wet sandals and dry quickly.

Paper towels : Coming to Singapore, you do not have to be surprised when there is no eating paper on their table. So, for the most convenience, make a bag of tissues in your backpack so that you can use it immediately when needed.

SIM or Wi-Fi hotspot : SIM to access 3G and 4G networks when traveling, is useful when searching for directions, searching information, finding restaurants . Free internet is also available but quite inconvenient when Long log-in, self-treatment is the best. If you go to Singapore and plan to work, holding a Wi-Fi transmitter is fine. You can buy these things with the Klook app I wrote below for cheap.

2. Convenient apps when traveling to Singapore

Klook : This is the way you can buy tickets to attractions, entertainment areas, bus tickets for the whole city, SIM services, wifi broadcasts, retail tours all day or half a day, coupons . in general, are all things to help you along the way. There is even a game to buy tickets to the luxurious waiting room at the airport or the airport baggage service to play without carrying.

This App can be installed both on iOS and Android. When you first download the app, it will not be available immediately, so before visiting the store to get a SIM (with instructions in the app), you should take a screenshot of the QR code of the SIM purchase order.

Klook is a very convenient service for those traveling, this app you can use in more than 30 countries and mostly services in Asian countries.

GrabTaxi and Uber : These are too familiar services in Vietnam, the applications of this car are very convenient and the price is very cheap, so travel you should choose these vehicles to move, convenient and economical.

Note: when going to Sing, changing Uber's phone numbers is very troublesome, I often switch to Grab or book Uber cars but proactively send messages to the driver to know where to stand.

iChangi : If you go to the airport early and enjoy shopping, you can download iChangi for use while waiting for the flight. This is an app that is used when going to the international airport, with this app you can find your way and check the discounts and discounts of stores in the airport.

Google Maps : Surely this app will be indispensable in our phone application. With Google Maps you will want to go without fear of getting lost when going to any location.

3. EZ Link card, key for you to go everywhere

Singapore is a country with a large number of public transport participants, so when you get there, you can also travel by this means to save costs and get more places. Instead of paying cash on each trip, you can buy an EZ Link card, which is available at convenience stores at the airport or purchased at the train station. This ticket is similar to the monthly bus ticket in Vietnam, you can take any public transport you want as comfortably as the subway (MRT), take the bus. Just get in the car, touch the car to the reader in the car one down, touch the other to charge. The cost for one trip is very cheap, from a few dozen cents to a few dollars depending on the length of the route and this will be a great choice for you compared to taking a taxi, Grab or Uber.
