Hi all! I hasten to share the freshest impressions of Singapore and Bali! Well, first of all, Singapore is just super!! ! There is nothing to compare and whether it is necessary to compare! A city where you can’t do more than you can, but it disciplines our person so much ...and for some reason the catch phrase “skyscrapers, skyscrapers, and I’m so small ... ” I really, really liked it, because we went with friends, and four of us together abroad - this is already a gang, then we decided to try everything - that is, we moved with the help of everything - rickshaws, 2-story buses, taxis, but most importantly the metro + Singapore map and you get cheap and cheerful where you need to go + a lot of emotions.

Sentosa - as for me, is of course more interesting for children than for adults, but it's worth a trip, and be sure to go there - by cable car, back by monorail. And do not take a tour of the city and Sentosa with guides.

if you are under 70 years old - all by yourself, firstly, it’s more interesting to learn everything yourself, secondly, you don’t wait for anyone until 40 people on the bus want to go to the toilet or drink, and thirdly, it’s simply cheaper. We were at the cinema on Sentosa - we expected more, but we still need to see the curiosity, we rode kites - I advise you very cool, we were in the oceanarium - also super, and of course the fountain show, although again it is more interesting for children, but since Sentosa proud of him most of all, then they decided to check the box (if you want to get in, you need to buy tickets in advance, the number of seats is limited, and everyone strives to get in).

After Sentosa, we again went on a night safari by metro, we really liked it - many people say that all animals sleep - I don’t know, we saw everyone and it’s a very cool feeling.

Hotels in Singapore - a separate conversation - everything is clean, bathrobes. slippers, tooth brushes, irons and even ironing boards.
So now Bali, by the way, advice - if possible, take Bali first, and then Singapore, because after the licked Singapore, Bali is terrified for the first half day. Yes, I read a lot that there is dirt there, but still I didn’t think that it was, although again I repeat that after Singapore, any place on earth will not seem very clean. But to be honest, the Indonesians, or maybe it's just the Balinese, are very much zas ....tsy. The hotel is clean, everything is clean, but as soon as you go outside ...And it doesn’t matter which area of ​ ​ ​ ​ Bali you are in - there is enough dirt everywhere. We chose Kuta, and it is really the dirtiest area, but there is the center of civilization and everything is at hand and bargaining. centers, and restaurants, but the main thing is the ocean and the waves, the waves...
And who else comes to Bali for what, if you want purity, brilliance and gloss and can afford it, then welcome to the Canary Islands, Tenerife and other wonderful places, if you want to ride elephants in the jungle, dine with a view of the volcano, overeat seafood on a ball (compared to even Thailand, it’s really much cheaper), then you don’t have anything to complain about dirt and poverty, by the way, we didn’t meet a single bum and beggar there, unlike our civilized countries, so to speak.


Rice plantations make a stunning sight. I really want to recommend one person to you - his name is Ray and here are his coordinates of the bodies. +6285237017755, e-mail - Reynaldirona@yahoo. com. we found it thanks to reviews on the internet, I join those people who strongly advise moving around Bali with the help of people like Ray, especially if you have several families. the services of this person cost 50 c. u. e.
per day and he with his air-conditioned minivan toyota kningan will take you anywhere in Bali. Ray knows a little Russian, but is absolutely fluent in English and without the usual accent, although even with min. knowledge of English you will find a common language with him. I highly recommend it, because it differs from the Balinese in its restraint and intelligence.

Many people write that taking a car is not much more profitable than going on excursions, but the fact is that in this way you yourself choose where to go and what to watch, and again, you don’t expect a bunch of people and their problems. If you decide to use Ray's services, be sure to send him greetings from Irina and Olga from Kartika Plaza.

So where were you and what do you advise - a bird park - just very beautiful and incredible colors, definitely a volcano - yes, they don’t cook very tasty in restaurants, but the view is unforgettable.
Be sure to raft, and we were on two different rivers - better choose the one that is narrow and flows between the rocks - very cool guides and rapids. ATVs in the jungle are just a supper for those who love adrenaline, preferably from SEE BALI ADVENTURES, the guys are very cool insure, and we were in the rainy season and the roads in the jungle are wet, excellent guides, super lunch and free t-shirts for memory (a trifle, but it’s nice) though I almost killed myself - I decided to overtake a slow-moving Indonesian, left the road and flew into a ditch, hit my leg very hard, but the guides were in two seconds near me and even provided the first honey. help, but if you don’t show off and don’t leave the column, then everything is quite safe, it’s not the first time we’ve been on quadrics, katal in Egypt and Turkey, but the sensations here are completely different, and there are rice plantations around - in general, I highly recommend it.

So what else, there were monkeys in the forest - it's cool, only they are very arrogant enough to grab your trousers and can easily climb you until you give everything away - they won't lag behind. Yes, and also the island of Lembontang - I highly advise, but only under a separate program, we sailed on a cool huge high-speed catamaran-boom and there the program further suggests various entertainments on the pontoon - banana, diving, snorkeling, a boat with a transparent bottom, but we are adventurers, and we went ashore and rented mopeds (actually, there is no such service, but the guys gave us their very decent mopeds for 10 USD for an unlimited time and without any documents). I strongly advise you to ask and find Dreem Beach on Lembontang - we saw an advertisement for a Bounty bar - this is it, just an incredibly azure ocean, white sand, palm trees, a bar right on the beach and there is practically no N AND C O G O, very cool bungalows there on the beach can be rented for a period of 1 hour to 1 week.
Summing up, I can say that my childhood dreams came true - I really wanted to stay in Singapore and Bali (in Singapore - according to the stories of my sailor father, in Bali, well, just for show) Of course, not all expectations were justified, not everything is as rosy as I wanted , but the main thing is that childhood dreams come true, and they came true for me on this trip, with SW. Ira and Andrey, Thank you very much to the people who share their impressions on the Internet, their advice helped me a lot, so if you have any questions, write, I will be happy to answer - iradrozdova@yandex. en
