      Orchard Road – A Preferred destination for shoppers

      That Singapore is one giant shopping mall is a fact I cannot deny, not when I have just recently visited and been swept off my feet by the Lion City. I shopped till I dropped, literally! I dropped on my hotel room bed, thankfully, but the happiness that came with packing bags upon bags of goodies to carry home cannot be replaced by any other.

      Arriving at Orchard Road is no trouble at all. It is stretched across a 2.5 km road. Shopping on Orchard Road is a treat. However, don’t forget to carry your credit cards as the prices can be quite high. It is supposed to be the entertainment hub and a major tourist attraction of Singapore. Be sure to bargain for the product you wish to buy else you will land up paying a heavy price. All and all it is a good place to walk around and buy.

      I took my tickets from http://www.redbus.sg/ and the rest of journey went by without any hiccups.

      Your shopping bonanza in Singapore must begin with the discovery and exploration of the gigantic Orchard Road. For someone with a fashion style sense that reads something like, ‘feminine rock’, there are not many places that I can safely cater to this need of mine. Until I walked through Orchard Road and into Wheelock Palace, in the basement of which lies the feminine rock fashion paradise—Rosebullet.

      ION Orchard is another popular landmark on Orchard Road. If it is your last day here and want to quicky lay your hands shopping, then this is the place for you. It is said to be Singapore’s first multi-sensory experiential shopping and lifestyle mall. It is a huge shopping complex and amply crowded. And it sure didn’t disappoint! The land where the brands dwell, this gargantuan mall is home to more than 300 stores, including Charles & Keith, Miu Miu, Giorgio Armani, Dolcce & Gabbana, Dior, etc. You get anything you want in this place and ot just branded but also other normal or local brands. The other best thing is if you are tired and hungry and done with your shopping there are lots of restaurants, café around where you can refresh yourself with some good eateries and drinks. It is much recommended place to visit when in Singapore/
      For chic street fashion wear, enter Far East Plaza that is situated at the heart of Orchard Road. T-shirts, dresses, accessories, you name it and you will find its trendiest streetwear option.

      Spoilt for choice
      Today, Orchard Road is flanked by iconic shopping malls, restaurants and hotels, choc-a-bloc with retail, dining and entertainment choice for every taste and budget. Designer threads, fast fashion, upscale restaurants, ethnic wares, art galleries and relaxed hangouts – you name it, Orchard Road has it.

      Here’s a tip: while the almond and jambu trees are no more, huge angsana trees lining the large pedestrian mall give ample shade from the blazing sun – making this still a nice place to stroll.

      Hal-hal Penting untuk Diingat saat Beper

      February 6, 2019 in India ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Jika anda mendarat di Kota Jakarta, anda perlu tahu bahwa kota ini adalah kota yang sangat indah terutama pada malam hari. Anda dapat melihat jalan-jalan yang padat dan banyak kendaraan, mengemudi dengan kendaraan kecil maupun besar di sepanjang jalan yang diterangi lampu-lampu kota serta di tengah-tengah banyak gedung tinggi. Ini tentunya pemandangan yang indah untuk dilihat. Anda pasti tidak ingin menyetir sendiri disini, karena anda mungkin tidak ingin terkena tilang oleh polisi peraturan lalu lintas, karena ada banyak aturan yang rumit dan membingungkan yang anda sebagai orang asing disini pasti tidak mengerti dan tidak ingin memiliki kejadian seperti itu!

      Meskipun, itu seharusnya tidak menghalangi rencana anda untuk menikmati kota dan menjelajahi banyak hal hebat yang disediakan Jakarta untuk anda. Bus dengan transit yang cepat adalah salah satu bagian transportasi yang paling disukai disini dari upaya yang sedang berlangsung untuk mengurangi kemacetan lalu lintas di kota. Berikut ini daftar pilihan transportasi umum yang tersedia untuk berkeliling di Jakarta. Ini mungkin sangat membantu bagi para traveller seperti anda.

      Busway Jakarta: Indonesia terhubung dengan baik dengan rute bus dan dikenal dengan layanan busnya yang lengkap. Bahkan dengan konektivitas bus yang hebat, ini dapat sulit dimengerti bagi anda bahwa anda benar-benar dapat berkeliling kota hanya dengan bus. Perjalanan dengan Busway memiliki jalur khusus bus yang tidak dapat dilewati oleh kendaraan lain yang memungkinkan anda sampai tujuan lebih cepat karena tidak adanya kemacetan di jalur khusus ini dan perjalanan dengan transportasi ini juga cukup murah. Namun, bagi anda yang pertama kali mencoba naik busway, anda diharuskan untuk memiliki E-Ticket yang akan membebani kocek anda sekitar Rp 20.000,- untuk harga kartu dan tambahan Rp 20.000,- sebagai saldo awal anda. Kartu ini dapat dibeli di setiap halte Bus dan mudah diisi ulang. Anda diperbolehkan naik bus hanya dari pemberhentian khusus. Tidak ada jadwal pasti keberangkatan bus tetapi anda dapat melacak bus secara real time melalui Google Maps. Ini adalah salah satu sarana yang paling terjangkau dan nyaman untuk berkeliling kota.
      Selama berkeliling di Jakarta, mereka memiliki angkutan cepat bus sendiri, yang dioperasikan oleh TransJakarta, yang oleh penduduk setempat disebut sebagai 'busway'.

      Kerepotan anda akan berkurang setelah anda dapat memesan tiket bus anda secara online melalui jejaring situs https://www.redbus.id/tiket-bus/jakarta-ke-bandung yang memungkinkan anda dapat memilih dari berbagai bus dan mengkonfirmasi reservasi bus dalam waktu yang singkat. Portal online ini memastikan metode pembayaran online yang aman dengan biaya pemesanan nol rupiah. Naik bus adalah ide bijak ketika anda di Jakarta!

      Taksi di Jakarta: Taksi-taksi selalu menjadi cara termudah dan paling nyaman untuk berkeliling di Jakarta. Ada juga berbagai layanan taksi eksekutif, seperti Silver Bird, yang dioperasikan oleh Blue Bird. Taksi Silver Bird dapat dengan mudah dilihat dan dijangkau di sebagian besar hotel bintang lima yang ada di sekitar kota serta di Bandara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta, dan anda juga dapat memesannya lewat telepon. Kini juga ada taksi online yang dapat anda pesan melalui smartphone anda.

      Taksi Minivan di Jakarta: Ada kendaraan umum yang dikenal sebagai 'Mikrolet' dan 'Angkutan Kota' disingkat sebagai 'Angkot'. Anda akan menemukan kendaraan ini mengambil dan menurunkan penumpang di tujuan yang mereka inginkan tanpa memiliki halte atau tempat penurunan penumpang yang jelas. Satu ‘Angkutan Kota’ dapat memuat total 14 penumpang yang mana cukup sempit dan kurang nyaman.

      Penyewaan Mobil: Jika anda ingin menyetir sendiri di dalam mobil sewaan dan berjalan-jalan di jalanan Jakarta, yang anda butuhkan hanyalah Lisensi Mengemudi Nasional atau Internasional. Jika itu tidak menarik bagi anda, carilah mobil sewaan yang sudah termasuk dengan sopir. Apa lagi, lihatlah pemandangan sekitar kota di dalam mobil sewaan serta sopir sewaan anda.
