Singapore, a dynamic city rich in contrast and colour where you will find a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, arts and architecture. A main island with 63 surrounding islets, Singapore is located in the heart of fascinating Southeast Asia. The main reason why I should be given this opportunity to experience the rich blend in culture, cuisine, arts and architecture of Singapore is Singapore is a truly a city like no other, a world of possibilities. No doubt that unique is the best word that captures Singapore. With its friendly and welcoming people, I am sure that my stay at Singapore will definitely be a memorable one as I enjoy mixing around with people from different cultures as Singapore is a mixture of an ethnic Malay population with a Chinese majority, as well as Indian and Arab immigrants. Moreover, I will enjoy countless fascinating experiences and take away memories that are uniquely Singapore as there are so many attractive places to visit here and I have listed down some of them from my research and include them in my 1-day itinerary tour in Singapore.
Here is my dream 1-day itinerary tour in Singapore!
Merlion Park 8.30a.m. - 9.00a.m.
I will begin my journey of the day visiting the Merlion Park. The Merlion is an imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. The lion head represents Singapore's original name "Singapura" which means lion city in Sanskrit and Malay. The Merlion is a well-known tourist icon of Singapore, therefore, it is a must for tourist like me to pay here a visit and take pictures here.
Jones the Grocer 9.30a.m. - 11.00a.m.
The journey continues with Jones the Grocer which is located at the Dempsey Hill. Jones the Grocer originates from Australia and carries a large range of house-branded products as well as other imported gourmet products. And this is where I am going to have very my first meal in Singapore.

This is how my dream 1-day itinerary tour in Singapore will be and I really hope that I will be given a chance to indulge in the Uniquely Singapore experience.
