[Editor's note]
Many netizens who come to Singapore to travel say that it is too expensive, and all behaviors are calculated in money, is this really the case? Netizen "Children of the Construction Corps" shared a series of "First Time Abroad - Singapore Travel Guide", very real experience and pertinent evaluation, suitable for the reference of friends who want to come to Singapore, this is the third article in the series.
When you come to Singapore, you can't miss Universal Studios. Because it was my daughter, they took me to play, so this trip to Singapore was a blind tour. Wherever the girls go, I'll go. We don't do travel guides, everything we see and experience is an unexpected gain, and this feeling is very enjoyable, because we have no idea what will happen in the next second.
When I woke up in the morning, my daughter started putting on makeup and told me to put on sunscreen. I said I'm not afraid of the sun and don't like to wear sunscreen. She glared at me and said, "If you don't like it, you have to apply it, and if you're not afraid of the sun, you won't tan it?" The sun is poisonous and can get sunburned! Less nonsense, hurry up and paint! "My daughter wore a Lolita-style red plaid princess dress, white socks, red half-heeled patent leather shoes, and a red and white leather bag in the shape of a classic teapot. This outfit is the standard for going to Universal Studios, and the sense of ceremony is instantly full.
Singapore's MRT lines walk by color. We took the Green Line for a long time, then changed to the Purple Line for one stop, got off the train and changed to the Light Rail to Sentosa, and soon arrived in Sentosa.
The food court at VivoCity in HarbourFront MRT station is called Big Food Dai.
At the terminal, there are a lot of people getting off the train, and when you walk out of the station and into Universal Studios, there are more people.
We took a quick turn, and then we started lining up one by one by the items we wanted to play.
The first team first lined up from the room, quickly came out of the room, circled three or four times outside, and then entered the suffocation inside. The sun was very sunny and the queue was really long. If there is no sunscreen umbrella, you may suffer from heat stroke, and her daughter's outfit makes the people lining up around her envious, and there is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old India girl who has been staring at her daughter's skirt, envy and love from her eyes. She didn't say anything but watched silently, and then turned her face to look at her mother, who followed her eyes, smiled at her knowingly, and admired her eyes.
This little Indian girl is very beautiful, and just as beautiful as she is there a boy about her height, I don't know if it is her brother or brother. One of the two South Asian girls plucked up the courage to come up and ask for a picture with her daughter, who smiled and nodded in agreement, and she laughed happily and silently. After taking a group photo, she and her companion looked at the photos on their phones, nodded and thanked their daughter, and left satisfied.
It dawned on me that now we are foreigners. In Universal Studios, visitors come from all over the world, and everyone is a foreigner.
It was soaked in the sun outside, and when the team finally got inside, it was suddenly cool. We got on the cartoon train to a fairytale town, and the cartoon characters along the way were cute, and the lights and colors were beautiful.
The train drove from the town into space, and from time to time I encountered other spaceships, and even saw aliens arguing on other ships.
There was a lot of activity along the way, but the train always ran smoothly, and after a few minutes, the magical trip ended and we got off the train back to the platform.
Then I went to the second line, and it was still a long queue. We were surrounded by the sound of the roller coasters whistling past us and the high-pitched hell howls of the people on top of us as we lined up.
This line is a spinning car, although the speed is not very fast, but the rotation is very shaky, and the feeling of spinning the world is spinning.
Coming down from here, we went indoors. It was too hot outside, so I had to hide indoors to cool off.
The deepest feeling in Singapore is safety and steadfastness, even in a completely unfamiliar crowd, in a completely unfamiliar environment, this sense of security is also full. Good system, good law, it seems that you don't feel her existence at all, but you are cared for by her in all aspects, and you are relaxed and happy and free in such an environment. Singapore's laws are strict and close to perfect. She protects every good person in all aspects, and at the same time strictly restricts any bad person who wants to do evil. Singapore's laws are detailed in all aspects of life, and it is impossible to do evil, as long as you violate the law, you will be severely punished. One of the most deterrent is flogging, who wants to find a good ass! In contrast, we seem to be good people who are angry everywhere, bad people who are sheltered everywhere, and we feel that we are the fathers of bad people in some ways. All this has been particularly unscrupulous for three years, even to the point of outrageous and unbelievable madness.
After eating and drinking, then go to the queue to see the movie stunt shooting set.
This team lined up indoors, after several checkpoint nodes, at the first node, our breakpoint happened to be first, thinking that we would be in the first row, and the girls said that the first row was dangerous, and the fire on the scene might burn the clothes.
The big iron door opened, and we entered the second node, where there was only the screen and the stands, and the narrator introduced the magic of the movie to the audience in English, but fortunately there were subtitles on the screen, and the feeling of watching an American drama.
Continue to line up, passing through very beautiful film and television scene blocks along the way, and the girls take pictures in their favorite places as they walk.
Along the way, there are scenes and characters from anime movies, you can check in and take photos in 360 degrees, the girls are very happy, all the scenes or characters you like will be checked in and photographed, and the satisfaction is colorful.
At the edge of a large pond, the girls stood in a row with their backs to the camera and asked me to take a group photo for them. On the opposite bank they faced, they could see the whole picture of the giant roller coaster, with a snow-white steel frame and blue and red tracks, which were very eye-catching under the blue sky. With the roller coaster whizzing past from time to time, the screams on the car are incessant, resounding in the sky.
Although the roller coaster has been roaring and tsunami everywhere from the moment they enter the venue, the girls can't see, hear, or move. I secretly rejoiced that if they were going to ride a roller coaster, I wouldn't follow them.
When I came to a check-in point, there were still a lot of people, but the queue was indoors, which kind of indoor in the shed was actually a shack, there was no air conditioning, the huge ceiling fan hung on the roof, the wind was hot, but the temperature in the shack was a little lower than in the sun, just a little lower.
Inside the shed is a serpentine curved metal pipe guardrail passage, which is convenient for tourists to line up in order, we are also in the line, I don't know what items we are arranged, I am just a blind follower.
The line is long, the speed of the detour is slow, and when you get tired of standing, you can sit in the second block of the guardrail. Row to the front to know that it is waterway drifting, there was rafting in the Darong Mountain Scenic Area before, I am afraid that the water has never drifted. Now that the queue is in front of me, I am on the round drifting hovercraft with the children.
The rafting journey was fairly smooth, even quite smooth, except for the occasional rocking boat water wetting our shoes, splashing the clothes of the India family, and everyone laughing and screaming. But before the end of the rafting trip, the hovercraft drifted into a large warehouse, and when the door behind me was slammed shut, the room was pitch dark, and I heard the rattling of the noose under the boat, and the hovercraft was lifted vertically in the dark, all the way to the roof, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat, and if I didn't grit my teeth, it would pop out of my mouth. It felt like it was about to burst out of the roof, and suddenly the boat loosened and the hull fell straight down into the bottomless abyss...... While we were still in shock, the hull of the ship had landed, the gates opened at the same time, and we rushed out of the darkness and returned to the world. The so-called plummeting, but that's it. Getting off the hovercraft, I and the India family of three kept giggling, and being scared was so real and intuitive.
Then we went to the Pharaoh's tomb, bought tickets, and followed Shushu to store the bag, and we were not allowed to bring anything except our mobile phones.
I thought we were visiting a replica of the pharaoh's tomb, maybe there was something taboo not to bring a bag.
Returning to the entrance, although the pharaoh's tomb was a miniature version, the corridor was still very tall and airy, much cooler than the sunny outside.
Many Indians sit in the hallways or corners of the streets, drinking drinks, eating boxed lunches, or sleeping and resting. We walked past these people and into the tombs.
The graffiti on the walls, the wooden boxes inside, the boulders, the stone carvings, the woodcarvings, the ropes, etc., are all set according to the tomb scene; Everything is familiar and unfamiliar, familiar because I have seen it in the movie, more or less familiar, strange of course because I am actually in it at the moment, not an image but a real thing.
In front of a coffin, everyone who passed by in line put their hands on the golden hands in the middle of the coffin lid, and when they put their hands on it, the lights would turn on, and I put them too, I don't know what it means.
After turning a right-angled bend and walking up a little further, there was suddenly a large open and bright hall in front of it, and the front was full of passages separated by wooden fences, and the openings of the passages were dark, and it was impossible to see what was there.
On the right side of the hall was a high-walled door of white slime, and the door was glowing blood-red, and we didn't go there, but walked directly across from us.
When I got to the front, I found that this was a track, and there was a double-row car parked in front of me, because the light was dim, I couldn't see the shape of the car, and I couldn't see the head and tail clearly, so I followed Sister Hua into the car in a daze, and then sat down, and the bumper on the top of my head was slowly pressed down, and I was firmly buckled on the seat, I think it was broken! Before I could react, I was already flying out in a daze! Right! It's flying out! Decisive, swift, decisive! The car roared, rushing into the bottomless darkness, I opened my eyes and watched for only a few seconds, I was violently bumped by the body, shaking, S-shaped, figure-8 rolled up and down, instantly lifted to the top, and instantly fell vertically to the bottom, so frightened that I closed my eyes. The hurricane-like horror scared me so hard that I clung to the pole and resigned myself to fate. Time is stretched infinitely, longer than a century, longer than life......
And in this infinitely stretched time, my soul is endlessly scattered, if I can pick it up, the track is full of my scattered souls, and maybe other people in the same car, my ears are filled with the sound of soul tearing and crashing, the sound is poignant and deafening. If my heart was fragile, I would have burped when the car flew out, but luckily my heart was strong enough, and it was far more powerful than I could have imagined.
So, when the car finally stopped and we all walked down in shock, I couldn't believe what I had just experienced, or even dream! However, everything that has just passed has really happened! All the horrors and horrors also disappeared at the moment of certainty.
The rest is all surprise and excitement! For your inner courage and fat bear-hearted leopard gall! After coming out, I found that at this moment, the sun was setting, and the entire film and television city was illuminated by the slanting sun, and everything was shining like gilded and beautiful. I thought that in Singapore, which is close to the equatorial sun, there will be no such beautiful twilight, but I was wrong. Everything is beautiful at the moment, and our group keeps patting and patting, all kinds of shooting, and it is completely insufficient.
The girls were going to Siloso Beach, but my daughter didn't want to go, and I didn't want to, so we decided to leave the team and go back to the hotel first.
There was a long queue for tourists to take the subway back, we didn't want to queue any more, it was enough for a day. I don't want to take the subway and have to transfer, it's troublesome and tiring.
My daughter said we would take a taxi straight back to the hotel, which was exactly what I wanted.
When I walked outside the film and television city, I bought two large glasses of orange juice at a cold drink shop and found a stone platform to sit down and rest.
After a drink and a little sitting, we went up a wide staircase and walked out of the studio to a residential area near the road, stopping on the side of the road to get a taxi here. She got off the taxi software in Singapore, and when she called a taxi, she found that the original mobile phone card could not be used abroad, and the taxi could not be located, she asked Shushu on WeChat, and re-operated it, and the taxi came after a while.
The taxi driver is India and doesn't speak Chinese, I took out the room card, he looked at it and nodded and said he knew. We returned to the hotel very smoothly, after getting off the car, my daughter said that she wanted to buy shampoo, we went to the store opposite, the packaging of the store is the same as that in China, but all in English.
When I bought it, I found that I couldn't distinguish the packaging of shampoo and conditioner, these two colors are different, but there are Chinese labels in China, and I haven't paid attention to the color. I said I didn't know which shampoo it was, and my daughter didn't remember the color of the shampoo, so she took the bottle and took a picture of it with her mobile phone, clicked on the picture, and then clicked on the translation, and we bought the shampoo accurately.
I feel in my heart that the survival and life skills of young people have become globalized, and there is no language barrier.
