On travel with a baby this week we have Kaamna Bhojwani-Dhawan,Founder, Momaboard.com who shares her reasons on choosing Singapore as a great holiday destination for and with kids. Singapore is one of my favorite places to take my kids. Here's why: 1) It’s clean and safe. Everything about Singapore is neat and functional. It often has a reputation for being “sterile” but as we parents know, you can’t be germ-free enough when you are traveling with kids! 2) Getting around is easy. Cabs are easy to hail (except during rush hour) and all malls have very well-organized taxi stands. You can even call a cab if you are having trouble for a small fee (S$2.50-3.00). The underground subway (MRT) is also easy to navigate and well-maintained, with elevators leading down and up from the platforms. 3) Most international brands are represented in Singapore. You can buy baby food, diapers, bottles, and everything else you need at well-stocked pharmacies and supermarkets. 4) English is the primary language which is really handy, particularly in emergencies. 5) Many malls have play areas for the kids 6) Singapore hosts every type of food you can imagine, so you can expose your children to new culinary experiences or stick to the old and familiar 7) Labor is cheap so you can get a babysitter or a shanghai massage (or both) at very reasonable prices 8) Sentosa is evolving into the ultimate entertainment destination for kids 9) It is a great base from which to explore other parts of Southeast Asia like Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. 10) Singapore is easily accessible with direct flights from many parts of the world. It is a 5 hour flight from most major cities in India and the airfare is often no more than flying within the country itself.
