Singapore Grand Prix is not merely about the racing. Being the only country in South East Asia to host the race with its bling-bling and city lights definitely makes you need to do more than just going to Grand Prix while you are in Singapore. If these are not in your Singapore GrandPrix, then they should be!

1. Enjoy The God’s View of Singapore

Have a drink, watch the race and enjoy unparalleled views of Singapore at one of the many high-level bars located around the track. Hot favourites include 1-Altitude, Ce La Vi, New Asia Bar and ME@OUE.

2. Live Life in The Fast Lane, In A-Lister’s Style

Thinking to hit the club like those A-Listers? Open up your Singapore Guide! You might have a chance to meet up with some of the international jet setter, supermodels, or who knows you’ll be dancing the night out with the international celebrities! The are tons of events and parties that will be moving around and about the F1 race itself. Don’t restrict yourself to the circuit ’cause there tons more out there to suit every style.

3. Take Outside The Track

Chances are the malls and other tourist attractions will be filled with visitors before the race weekend, so how about a light trek to the summit of Bukit Timah Hill? The hill stands about 163 meters above sea level—so nothing too strenuous—but it is the highest natural point of the city-state. Think of this as a warm-up lap of sightseeing before all the rubbernecking you’re going to do at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

4. Fuel Up Before The Race

It’s the calm before the storm, and park gates will only open around 2pm to 3pm, so why not chill in Tiong Bahru first? It’s a haven for independent stores, coffee shops, book stores. Buy a book from BooksActually, take home a trinket from one of the small galleries, or grab a cup of coffee in one of the hole in the wall coffee shops. If you’re looking for the most hipster place in Singapore, this is it.

Patrik Wallner’s “Mandalay Express” video may chronicled him and a bunch of buddies traveling across South East Asia, but for his recently trip he got the chance to hit up Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, and the end result was this fun and vibrant short, titled “Holy Cow.”

In a time when a lot of companies are trimming back travel budgets to only allow for domestic U.S. travel or when pros think they can shake a tin cup at young skaters to pay for their road trips in exchange for an Instagram message, it’s nice to see a crew of guys quench their urge for adventure the old fashioned way — with hard work, scrimping and saving and paying your own way.

It was a nice afternoon when me and my sister was riding my bike along Petitenget road in Seminyak, Bali and found this nice beautiful place to take a rest and have some tea break. It catches my eyes firstly because of its traditional wood interior mixing of Balinese and contemporary style, and we get more interested when we take a look at the inside, where theres a a small bookstore with a style of a nice old cozy library.

Biku maybe one of Balinese teahouse and restaurant that i would like to recommend to anyone who want to visit Seminyak. They served dishes from Balinese authentic main course to British style afternoon tea. The table itself was quite full at the time we went there, and seems like most of the people which are the expats are having their own afternoon tea. The menu itself was simple and sublime, so we decide to choose Biku’s own signature tea and their Apple crumble pie which served with vanilla ice cream at the top.

The pie was nice, they cut the apple quite big so the taste of it still there and served it hot, the tea also nice and refreshing, they served it with start fruit , wild ginger flower and mint leaves. After finishing it we took some time looking for second handed and new books there. Then we decided to taste another food to be shared, so our chosen dinner was Lamb chop pie and we choose hot carrot cake as our dessert. The lamb pie was served hot with some vegetable salad and hot mashed potato and the carrot cake was best they use carrot and almond inside the sponge cake. So, basically we like to give Biku a 8 out of 10 because of the nice comforting place with a reasonable price and good taste of the food. [othy]
