</table> <p align="center"><b><i><font color="#FF0000" size="3">Free as a backpacker ! </font></i></b></p> <p align="left"><font face="Arial">You will find in this <b> free travel guide</b> lots of tips and <b> most of the budget info</b> you need to prepare your trip to Singapore on a shoestring ("before"), live your backpacking adventure in the best conditions ("during") and share your experience with other backpackers ("after") plus a photos gallery, a backpacking forum, surveys on the localities in Singapore (backpacker 's ratings), travelogues, an essay in French, <b> links to other travel guidebook</b> on Singapore or related budget information etc. All in one convenient stop ! Go for it : <b> backpack Singapore with pass planet !</b><br> <br> If you know what you are looking for in Singapore, use the Search Form to find backpacking info. Otherwise, have a look at the backpacker's Index or <b> let Passplanet be your free guidebook to Singapore</b><br> <br> <b>The original features of this free backpacking travel guide to Singapore include :<br> </b><br> - Budget & practical travel information about  localities only.<br> - Ratings of the localities by the backpackers themselves<br> - What to do there & what you may not like while you backpack Singapore<br> - The cheapest budget accommodations (guesthouse or hostel on a shoestring ) for backpackers<br> - The various transportations' options for easy backpacking<br> - Travel information on how to save money<br> - Lots of backpacker's photos in special sections<br> - A guidebook with frequent updates<br> <br> But Passplanet will, hopefully, be more than a free backpacking travel guide to Singapore & Asia. My ambition is to make it a place where backpackers can freely exchange the latest info from "on the road" of the asian countries and communicate with each others. In the world of backpacking, information indeed changes with the blowing of the winds. But while a guidebook is out of date by the time it reaches the shelves, a web site can be updated daily. <b> Pass planet will strive to keep the budget information about Singapore warm !</b>  <br> <br> But to achieve the above, we need your help & support. Passplanet is not supposed to be a single backpacker's journey and travel guide. There are too many trips ahead. Singapore, Asia and the world are too vast to be covered by one individual. Let's share ! <b> Everyone is welcome to join the backpacking adventure and submit travel information ! </b> Passplanet is looking for new backpackers, budget writers, partners and ideas on a shoestring. And Passplanet also counts on you for its promotion. If you find it useful, please give the direction to other backpackers. <b> The more traffic, the more updated info in the future to backpack Singapore !</b> <br> <br> Passplanet is also a place of exchange related to Singapore. Beside all the forms which allow you to share your budget info about asian countries, experiences about a place, Passplanet also hosts a forum and a links section to other travel guide. You are welcome to submit your own travel web site in the latter and benefit from Passplanet's growing popularity in the world of backpacking on a shoestring. </font> </p> <p align="left"><font face="Arial"> <br> <b>Together, let's keep Passplanet as free & independent as a backpacker</b> so more and more people can use this free travel guide to backpack Singapore !<br> <br> I wish you a good backpacking experience, on the site and around Singapore !<br> <br> <b>Ben.<br> </b>Founder. </font> </p> <p align="center"><font size="4"><b><font color="#0000FF">@ @ @ Singapore</font></b> <font color="#0000FF">@ @ @</font></font> <p align="center"><b><i><font color="#FF0000" size="3">The Easy City  !</font></i> </b> <p align="center">  <p><b><font color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="3">>> </font></b><font face="Arial" size="3"><font color="#FF0000"><b>Description of Singapore ?</b></font> : A modern relaxed city full of greenery and quality attractions</font></p> <p><b><font color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="3">>> </font></b><font face="Arial" size="3"><font color="#FF0000"><b>Why go to Singapore ?</b></font> Relax from your trip / Indulge yourself with western luxury / Traffic chewing gum / Meet animals at various theme parks /  Spot some world's records / Shop happily / It is on your way !</font></p> <p><b><font face="Arial" size="3"><font color="#0000FF">>> </font><font color="#FF0000">Drawback of </font></font></b> <font color="#FF0000"><b>Singapore</b></font><b><font color="#FF0000">?</font></b> <font face="Arial" size="3"> The cost / The clinical look / The rules / The basic guesthouses</font></p> <p><b><font color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="3">>> </font></b><font face="Arial" size="3"><font color="#FF0000"><b>Cultural Highlights of Singapore ? </b></font>The museums / The Cultural corners : little India, Chinatown, Malay Village & Kampong Glam / Some corlorful Temples / See how Singaporean have fun on Sentosa Island</font></p> <p><b><font color="#0000FF" face="Arial" size="3">>> </font></b><font face="Arial" size="3"><font color="#FF0000"><b>Natural Highlights of Singapore ?</b></font> The zoo & night safari / The jungle of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve / Ubin Island</font></p> <p><b><font face="Arial" size="3"><font color="#0000FF">>> </font><font color="#FF0000">How long in </font></font></b> <font color="#FF0000"><b>Singapore </b></font><b><font color="#FF0000">?</font></b> <font face="Arial" size="3"> 3 days would give you an idea of the place.
