Asia or Central America?

Question by : Asia or Central America?
Hi!
I was actually planning to travel to Asia this year. Together with a friends I was hoping to fly to Singapore and then travel north to Bangkok via Malaysia. All in all I`d like to spend about 4-5 weeks and a maximum of 2000-2500 euros. As I`ve checked the flight prices which range from 900-1000 euros, I`m wondering if it was better to consider alternative travel destinations.
The route we were planning to do would have included some diving and hiking (climbing Mount Kinabalu).
When I was checking the flight prices for a lot of different countries, I learned that getting to Costa Rica (San Jose) would only cost me around 760 euros.
As I am a student, it is important to find destinations which are not too expensive. I know that asia is quite cheap but I`m not sure about central america.
Is there anyone who has already travelled those countries and has some recommendations?
As I love travelling there are a lot of countries I would like to visit and `m always open for other suggestions. I would just like to experience (tropical) rainforest and do some hiking and diving.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Astrid

Asia is a much more interesting destination w/ cheaper cost of living and better food and morevariety of everything. Central America-Nicaragua, El Salvador,etc. has no particular
culture-and also no budget airlines so it is more expensive to move around. Rainforest? Indonesia
or Sabah in Malaysia.

I need a hotel in Singapore central from say 75 – 125 Singapore dollars?
Posted by Mostafa Safavi in All about Singapore on December 3rd, 2011
Question by oops: I need a hotel in Singapore central from say 75 – 125 Singapore dollars?
im staying for 4-5 nights, and will do all the kids activities and sentosa, and visit the river and laupat sot at night.
In 2004 i stayed with a friend and worked out an area outside Little India but somewhere there only, where there is also LAU pAT SOT and near the cable car area for Sentosa would be a good location.
But thats not so important, anywhere near the river or central would be good so i save on taxi costs at night.
Im budgeting 75 to 125 singapore dollars, but would like it closer to 75. I want a clean nice hotel or apartment or small B&B OR guest stay, not too downmarket.
I hope ypu can suggest me something

Answer by MK
In around Little India / Farrer Park you can get some good hotels within that budget. However, SG has good Public transportation (MRT) which is very conveniently available from both the above said locations and you dont have to spend on taxis because it’s pretty expensive.
You may try for Fortuna Inn and it is open for booking on the net.
Safe travels!

Hotel Grand Central – Is it really that BAD ?
Posted by Mostafa Safavi in All about Singapore on September 16th, 2011
Question by Naruto: Hotel Grand Central – Is it really that BAD ?
Everytime I come to Singapore, I always stay at Hotel Phoenix. But now that the hotel in under renovation, I’m looking for other hotels to stay around Orchard Road vicinity. I’m considering Hotel Grand Central because of its location, but according to tripadvisor reviews, Hotel Grand Central is the 2nd dirtiest hotel in Asia! Is is really that bad?

These are reviews by people who stayed there first-hand…better believe it. I’ve had the misfortune of attending a wedding there once and there were pillars everywhere so I couldn’t see the stage at all. And the muslim guests were placed in a table _outside_ the ballroom!
You’re better off staying at the brand new 3-star Hotel Ibis in Bencoolen Street. It’s part of the Accor group and their introductory rate is just S$ 148 before taxes. And it’s just minutes to Orchard Road.

Question by Jenna: Body Piercing in New York (near central park)…?
I’m visiting New York City soon and need to find a place to get my belly button pierced. I will be staying at the Wellington Hotel, 7th ave and 55th street, Manhatten. I need som place close because I will be low on time. I found one on 7th avenue, for example. That’s ideal. Can anyone help me find a place? I’ve only found one?
Best answer:
Answer by princeentourage08
The best place to get piercings and tattoo are in the village. Just either the A B C D F or V train to West 4th Street. When you walk out of the subway you’ll be in front of the shops. The best time to go is this weekend because the weather is suppose to be very very nice is the upper 60′s and lower 70′s
good luck
