Think Singapore and visuals of skyscrapers, theme parks, shiny malls, high-end fashion, and futuristic designs flood you. These visualizations though intrinsic to its progressive image, narrate only half the story. There are still pockets hidden in Singapore’s back alleys, underground and up 50-floors, that open to panoramic vistas […]
Life on a boat can get hectic. While a cruise might seem relaxing – picture gently swaying on the Caribbean sea as you enjoy astounding panoramic views while lounging in your room balcony – there is so much to do onboard that after a while the body demands […]
