Best of Singapore

Travel to three lands in one, and enjoy the cultures of the Chinese, Indians and Malays in delicious colour. It's all about the food: nurture an endless appetite for hawker-stall snacks and sublime dining. Make some time for modern art, traditional temples and some of the best shopping in Asia, then swap the urban scene for a sojourn into pockets of rainforest.
作者简介：
　　Charles Rawlings-Way Charles's earliest memories of Singapore are of being awestruck by air-conditioners and attempting to drown his father in the Hilton pool when he was seven. He's not as easily impressed or murderous these days, but Singapore still lures him back for regular pit stops. A lapsed architect, shameless chilli addict and laksa aficionado, Charles greased the production wheels in Lonely Planet's Melbourne office for many years before ma king a break for the open road in 2005. Singapore, with its lapsed colonial architecture and chilli-laden laksa, made him feel right at home.Thanks to the following folks for assistance great and small: Man/anne, Jules and Sam for your hospitality;Guy and Alice for your unexpected generosity; Miles, Zuly and Alexander for an indulgent few days; leisure consultants Dave and Lizzie Gregory; and Kalya Ryan.A freelance writer, Charles lives with fellow Lonely Planet wordsmith Meg Worby among the virtue and vice of Melbourne's inner west.The previous editions of this book was written by Rochoel Antony.
