This dec orchard road

[weewoon1515]

This Dec Orchard road is much quieter unlike past Decembers despite the xmas lightup. My friend who works in hotel industry also told me that the occupancy rate is quite low and bad. Has Singapore really lost its appeal as tourist spot?

No one in their right mind will and should come to SG.

Firstly our weather is absolutely terrible. It's either scorching burning hot or raining heavily, either which makes traveling around the island very inconvenient.

SG hotels is crazily expensive. 1 night at a 5-star hotel in SG I can stay 1 week in other cities. Even Tokyo downtown hotels are cheaper than SG now. The hotel rates in SG is really crazy high

SG has no scenery at all! Everything is fake and man-make. Come here see what? Fake waterfall or fake domed garden? Even Thailand & Vietnam have more attractions than SG

Alcohol in SG is also crazily expensive. 1 tiny glass of cocktail is ard $25-30 on average now. Plus 20% taxes. I drink in Ginza which is the most expensive district in Tokyo is also 30-40% cheaper than SG now.

I always tell any foreign friend pls dun ever come to SG. It's one of the most expensive sheet hole in the world now and is also extremely hot, crowded & small.

This I have to agree. In the 90s, there's even competition who has the nicest Christmas lighting, most of the time is Centerpoint and Goodwood Park Hotel.

Now maybe go green?
