Singapore Travel Handbook for Conference/Meetup Attendees

MRT is pretty awesome. The trains are all automated. The buses are pretty nice too (and double decker).

The Adler Luxury Hostel is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at, and it's right off the train in Chinatown. I suspect most people using this guide have hotels booked for the conference, but I'm just leaving this out there for people visiting on their own.

I never got fined in Singapore, but I didn't realize some of the things in this guide are banned (drinking on a train, brining a Durian on a train, etc.) If you ever see litter in a mall or on the street, it stands out. A lot. The city is extremely clean, because littering fines are like $400.

The Tree Top Walk is amazing. If you can spare a full day for it, totally do it. Don't feed the monkeys. Walk around the reservoir. You have to get to it by bus, but if you plan it right, it's a really nice hike.

During the right time of year, you can also go to the Ballet Under the Stars. That's a truly fun and spectacular show.
