[한국어 정보]
싱가포르 곳곳에서 많이 보이는 이름이 래플스다. 토머스 래플스는 이곳을 세계 최대 무역항으로 발전시키고 도시계획을 세워 지금의 모습을 만든 사람이다. 그를 기리기 위해 만든 싱가포르에서 가장 오래된 호텔인 래플스 호텔. 지금은 리모델링 중이라 아쉽게 보지 못했다. 하지만 호텔 바는 갈 수 있었다. 바텐더 입간판이 신기한데, 유명한 싱가포르 칵테일을 개발한 사람이라고 한다. 한낮인데도 유명세만큼이나 사람들이 가득하다. 과거 싱가포르 분위기를 살린 호텔바 천장의 부채 소품이 인상적이다. 이곳에 앉은 각국의 관광객들은모두 똑같은 칵테일을 마시고 있다. 핑크빛이 도는 잔에 파인애플이 꽂혀 있는, 평범해 보이는 이 칵테일이 싱가포르 슬링이다. 이 한잔을 마시기 위해 매일 많은 사람들이 찾는다. “유명한 칵테일이니까요. 사실 2년 전 쯤에 여기 왔었는데 여기가 문을 닫아서 이걸 마실 수 없었죠. 그래서 다시 온 거예요. 이걸 마시러 다시 온 건데 정말 좋아요“ 바쁜 시간엔 이렇게 대량제조도 가능하다. 자동차 실린더를 개조한 수동식 슬링 기계를 보는 재미가 쏠쏠하다. 한번에 6잔이 동시에 만들어진다. 색깔이 예쁜 음료수 같기도 하다. 칵테일 맛이 궁금해진다. 맥주만 마셔봤지, 이렇게 다양한 재료가 들어가는 칵테일은 처음이다. 손님이 없을 때는 이렇게 한잔씩 따로 만들어주기도 한단다. “지금 사용하는 레시피는 오래 전에 개발된 거에요. 유일한 차이점은 오늘날에는 새로 개발된 그레나딘과 비터스를 첨가한다는 거죠” 영국 소설가 서머셋 모옴이 동양의 신비라고 극찬한 칵테일, 싱가포르 슬링. 여러 재료를 잘 섞으면 연분홍빛을 가진 칵테일이 탄생한다. 과연 어떤 맛일지 나도 한번 먹어봤다. 달고 시며 상쾌한 맛이 난다고 들었는데, 내겐 약간 독하게 느껴졌다. 이 칵테일이 왜 이렇게 유명해졌을까? “싱가포르는 오랜 세월동안 영국의 식민지였습니다. 당시 영국 관습에 따르면 여성들은 공공장소에서 술 마시는 것이 금지되어 있었습니다. 래플스 호텔의 젊고 야심찬 바텐더가 이 사실에 주목했죠. 호텔에 온 남성들은 진토닉을 마셨지만 여성들은 오직 과일주스나 홍차만 마실 수 있었습니다. 그래서 그 바텐더는 그 여성들을 위해 뭔가를 하기로 결심했고 진을 기본으로 하는 칵테일을 만들기 실험을 했어요. 베네딕트 돔과 그라소, 파인애플 주스, 라임주스 그리고 그레나딘 시럽을 넣었죠. 그렇게 해서 싱가포르 슬링이 탄생한 겁니다“

Raffles is a name that is often seen throughout Singapore. Thomas Raffles is the man who made this place by developing it as the world's largest trade port and city planning. The Raffles Hotel, Singapore's oldest hotel to honor him. I have not seen it since I am remodeling now. But the hotel bar was able to go. The bartenders' signboard is fascinating, but he says he has developed a famous Singapore cocktail. Even though it is midday, it is full of people just as famous. The fan-shaped ceiling of the hotel bar, which made use of Singaporean atmosphere in the past, is impressive. The tourists from all over the world are drinking the same cocktails. This plain looking cocktail with pineapple in a pink cup is a Singapore sling. Many people look for this cup every day. It's a famous cocktail. Actually, I was here about two years ago and I could not get it because I closed the door here. So I came back. I came back for this and I really like it. It is fun to look at the manual sling machine which modified the automobile cylinder. Six cups are made at a time. The color is like a nice drink. I am curious about the taste of cocktails. I've only been drinking beer, and this is the first cocktail with a variety of ingredients. If you do not have a guest, you can make a cup of this one separately. The recipe I use now was developed a long time ago. The only difference is that today we add the newly developed Grenadines and Vitas. Cocktail, a British singer Somerset Moham praised the mystery of the Orient, Singapore Sling. Mix well with various ingredients to create a pinkish cocktail. I ate some of the flavors. I heard that it tasted sweet and refreshing, but I felt a bit rattled. Why did this cocktail become so famous? Singapore has been a British colony for many years. According to English customs at the time, women were prohibited from drinking in public places. The young and ambitious bartender at the Raffles Hotel paid attention to this fact. The men who came to the hotel drank gin tonic, but only women could drink fruit juice or tea. So the bartender decided to do something for the women and experimented with making a cocktail based on jean. Benedict dome and grapes, pineapple juice, lime juice and grenadine syrup. That's why the Singapore Sling was born.

Raffles Hotel is a colonial-style hotel in Singapore. It was established by two Armenian brothers from Persia—Martin and Tigran Sarkies—in 1887. In later years they were joined by younger brothers Aviet and Arshak and kinsman Martyrose Arathoon. With their innovative cuisine and extensive modernisations, the firm built the hotel into Singapore's best known icon. It was named after Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, whose statue had been unveiled in 1887. The hotel is currently managed by Fairmont Raffles Hotels International and houses a tropical garden courtyard, museum, and Victorian-style theatre.more info please visit:

Merlion Park, is a Singapore landmark and major tourist attraction, located at One Fullerton, Singapore, near the Central Business District (CBD). The Merlion is a mythical creature with a lion's head and the body of a fish that is widely used as a mascot and national personification of Singapore. Two Merlion statues are located at the park. The original Merlion structure measures 8.6 meters tall and spouts water from its mouth. It has subsequently been joined by a Merlion cub, which is located near the original statue and measures just 2 metres tall. Video was shoot using Gopro Hero 5 Black in 4k resolution. The night look from the park is spectaular.
Merlion Park is one of the major tourist attractions in Singapore. Merlion Park is home to Singapore’s mythical beast, Merlion, which has the body of a fish and the head of a lion.
Located in the business district of the city, the Merlion Park covers an area of almost 2,500 square meters. Visitors to Merlion Park will have a fantastic view of Marina Bay Sands across the water.
Originally, the Singapore Tourism Board designed this park in 1964 as an emblem of the city, but the official inauguration was done years after in 1972 when they also installed the Merlion statue.
There are two Merlion statues in this park. The first stands at 8.6 meters tall and the other is 2 metres high. The body of the fish represents the humble origins of the city as a fishing village. Spouting water from the mouth, Merlion statues provide a magnificent view to all spectators.
These two Merlions are not the only sculptures present in this park, there are three more that you can spot at tourism court, mount Faber and exotic Sentosa Island of the city.
At night time, the place is well lit; coupled with the gentle breeze and the bright skyline, the beauty of the park is further enhanced. You can even go under the bridge where there are cafés and gift shops to purchase some lovely souvenir items.

Hunt for the Red Lion (Singapore Legend)
A documentary film on a well known Singapore legend. According to this legend, Singapore was named after a lion when her founding prince Sang Nila Utama arrived on this island in the fourteenth (14) century and saw a lion. But this is no ordinary lion. The Malay Annals is a sixteenth (16) century literature that first recorded the social memories of the Malay Community. According to the Malay Annals, the lion has a RED body, BLACK head, and WHITE belly and it was the SIZE of a he-goat! Now where in the world can you find any animal that fits that description?
Hunt for the Red Lion is a film that seeks to find an answer to this question. What did Sang Nila Utama really see? Come see what the experts have to say, and decide for your self.
Then go to this link : to fill in a form and give your feedback on what you think was the lion than Sang Nila Utama saw.
This lion was also featured in a historical novel set in 14th century Singapura. This is a novel about a princess from Ming Dynasty China who was sent to Sumatra to marry a king. She ran away from Sumatra and arrived at Singapura, then also known as Temasek. From a naive eighteen year old, she grew into a lady politician of considerable skill and an army of her own, as she witnessed the political high drama of her prince and ultimate tragedy in the fall of Singapura.
In Escape to Temasek Chapter Seven (7), this lion legend is reinterpreted in a way that will astound most native readers. And in Chapter 21, this Sang Nila Utama legend is turned on its head to mean the diametric opposite of what most natives understand this legend to mean.

Thian Hock Keng Temple Info:
Thian Hock Keng (literally Palace of Heavenly Happiness), also known as the Tianfu Temple, is a temple built for the worship of Mazu (Ma Cho Po), a Chinese sea goddess, located in Singapore. It is the oldest and most important temple of the Hokkien people in the country. Another shrine at the back is Buddhist dedicated to Guanyin, the Mahayana Buddhist bodhisattva of mercy. Thian Hock Keng was gazetted as a national monument on 6 July 1973.
The temple originated as a small joss house first built around 1821–1822 at the waterfront serving the local Hokkien community, where seafarers and immigrants may give thanks to the sea goddess Mazu for a safe sea passage on their arrival to Singapore. The temple is located on Telok Ayer Street and originally faced the sea; the Telok Ayer Street used to be situated along the coastline before land reclamation work began in the 1880s.
Starting in 1839, the temple was rebuilt with funds collected over the years and donations from the community, the largest of which was from Tan Tock Seng, a Hokkien businessman. The building materials of the temple and a statue of Mazu was brought over from China, and the statue enshrined in the main hall of the temple in 1840. Some of the building materials, such as stone for the columns, timber as well as tiles were recycled from ballasts in ships. The local Indian community of Chulia Street also helped build the temple, and a statue of a man who appears to be an Indian holding a beam up at the ceiling was placed in the right wing as a reminder and gesture for their contribution. The temple was completed in 1842 at a cost of 30,000 Spanish dollars.
The main deity worshipped in the temple is Mazu (Ma Cho Po), a 10th-century Fujianese shamaness deified as a Chinese sea goddess. Early immigrants to Singapore offered incense to the goddess to give thanks for a safe passage across the sea from China. Today's worshippers come to the temple to pray for peace, protection and good health.[9]
A smaller shrine to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, is located at the back. Other deities worshipped in the temple include Baosheng Dadi (God of Medicine and Health), Guansheng Dijun (關聖帝君, worshipped for spiritual protection), Kai Zhang Sheng Wang (開漳聖王, the Sacred Governor Kai Zhang), Qie Lan Pu Sa (伽藍菩薩, Boddhisattva Sangharama) and Cheng Huang Ye (城隍爺, the City God). Confucius is also venerated in the temple

⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Singapore Walking (Marina Bay Sands | Merlion | Padang)
Welcome back to another episode! In this video, we take a walking tour around iconic landmarks in Singapore. We start our journey from City Hall MRT Station, down towards the Padang, into Merlion park and its picturesque view of the Singapore Marina Bay Sands and ArtScience Museum before ending at the nearby luxurious Fullerton Bay Hotel.
It is a high likelihood that you have seen images of Singapore’s national icon, the mythical Merlion with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. The Merlion has two significant components; the body symbolizes Singapore's humble beginnings when it was called Temasek, meaning 'sea town' in Old Javanese. Its head represents Singapura, or ‘lion city’ in Malay, from which Singapore is derived from.
Today, you can glimpse this legendary icon at Merlion Park. Spouting water from its mouth, the Merlion statue stands tall at 8.6 metres and weighs 70 tonnes.
This icon is a ‘must-see’ for tourists visiting Singapore, similar to other significant landmarks around the world. It was unveiled on 15 September 1972 to welcome all visitors to Singapore, before being relocated in 2002, 120 metres away from the original position to where it stands in Merlion Park today, in front of Fullerton Hotel and overlooking Marina Bay. This is also the place for taking the Merlion Water selfie. The park also houses a smaller Merlion statue. Known as the ‘Merlion cub’, it stands at 2 metres tall and weighs three tonnes.
Interestingly on this Singapore Walking Tour, we also pass by the Padang, where Singapore is getting ready as a venue for their annual celebration of independence, better known as National Day around here. The Padang is already all decorated with the huge words Majulah Singapura on the former City Hall. Take a look at the preparations for #NDP19!
We then walk pass Victoria Concert Hall and Anderson Bridge, coming to Merlion Park where we have the iconic view of Singapore's Marina Bay Sands (aka Singapore Boat Hotel). Marina Bay Sands is owned by the Las Vegas Sands corporation and at its opening in 2010, it was billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion. Here, you can also catch a brief glimpse of the Singapore Flyer, which although bigger than the London Eye, is not really that much of an attraction, although there are great views of the Singapore city skyline.
So seat back, relax and enjoy the POV video as we do the hard walking (#MarinaBaySands) work for you! To make sure you don't miss any of our videos on this channel hit that like and subscribe button!

Singapore, Tour 2018 ,Cinematic Video
Welcome to my Channel... Please checkout my latest video on Singapore
Singapore (Singapura, 新加坡, சிங்கப்பூர்) is a city-state in Southeast Asia. Founded as a British trading colony in 1819, since independence it has become one of the world's most prosperous, tax-friendly countries and boasts the world's busiest port.
Combining the skyscrapers and subways of a modern, affluent city with a medley of Chinese, Malay and Indian influences along with a tropical climate, tasty food from hawker centres, copious shopping malls, and vibrant night-life scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover or springboard into the region.
Singapore is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world for a lot of reasons, one of which is the less stringent entry requirements.
The centre of the city is located in the south — consisting roughly of the Orchard Road shopping area, the Riverside, the new Marina Bay area and also the skyscraper-filled Shenton way financial district known, in acronym-loving Singapore, as the CBD (Central Business District).
Riverside (Civic District) — Singapore's colonial core, with museums, statues and theatres, not to mention restaurants, bars and clubs.
Orchard Road — a 2.2 kilometre-long major road with lots of shopping malls.
Marina Bay — The newest feature of Singapore, dominated by the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort (hotel, casino, shopping mall, convention centre and museum) and the Marina Barrage. The newly opened Gardens by the Bay situated next to Marina Bay Sands integrated resort is a large public garden which house two huge cooled conservatories – the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest as well as a cluster of gigantic Super Trees.
Bugis and Kampong Glam — Bugis and Kampong Glam are Singapore's old Malay district, now largely taken over by shopping
Chinatown — The area originally designated for Chinese settlement by Raffles, now a Chinese heritage area popular with tourists.
Little India — A piece of India to the north of the city core.
Balestier, Newton, Novena and Toa Payoh — Budget accommodations and Burmese temples within striking distance of the centre.
North — The northern part of the island, also known as Woodlands, forms Singapore's residential and industrial hinterlands. Singapore Zoo is located here.
West — The western part of the island form Singapore's residential areas with Star Vista.
Jurong— Home to Nanyang Technological University and the last housing frontier before the industrial area. Attractions include Singapore Bird Park, Singapore Science Centre and Singapore Discovery Centre.
North East — Home to many residential towns with a heart of Serangoon NEX, Hougang Mall and Compass Point
Tampines — A residential town located in the heartlands, in the far east of the island close to Changi Airport.
East Coast — The largely residential eastern part of the island contains Changi Airport, miles and miles of beach and many famous eateries. Also covers Geylang Serai, the true home of Singapore's Malays.
Sentosa — A separate island once a military fort developed into a resort, Sentosa is the closest that Singapore gets to Disneyland, now with a dash of gambling and Universal Studios thrown in.
North West — the aspiring north west that goes into the undeveloped jungles, and the military training areas (Ama Keng, Lim Chu Kang, cemeteries, Kranji Camp and SAFTI)
