i am going ! cant wait to meet & try new headphone from sennheiser , beyerdynamic & shure
Perhaps the organizer and local people can inform me:
1) Is there free wi-fi at the venue?
2) Is there alternative food stall/fast food joint nearby the venue (more affordable than hotel restaurants)?
Thanks
Can't tell you about 1, but for item 2, for sure. There's loads of stuff to eat nearby, and Singapore isn't huge like Jakarta, even if you want to travel a bit to get stuff, still easy as it's all well connected with the MRT. Hawker food centers, that's where it's at, why go all the way to Singapore and eat hotel food
Thanks. I googled and there is makansutra gluttons bay nearby, and there are three malls surrounding the hotel.
For sure you won't go hungry in Singapore. For wi-fi, not like Jakarta where you get free access everywhere, the best bet is "ngopi" at Starbucks.
If needs help just do a shoutout as I am sure many will be willing to recommend you places to feed your hungry soul. Glutton By The Bay only opens at night if I am not mistaken.
any good accommodation for a low budget folk like me, i currently booked a backpackers near kallang, but i think it's quite far from the expo zone
Kallang / Geylang is stone throw away from the expo / Suntec area. Just couple of MRT stops away. If you can share your budget, I am sure some of us can recommend some places for you. Alternatively, you can check out website like www.asiatravel.com. Or use the hotel $$$ for some new toys at the expo
currently locked on joyfor backpackers, but i am not familiar with Singapore so only worried on staying in the "cold zone" that has literally no POI
Just googled joyfor and that area is really "joyfor" men zone especially in the evening...you won't go hungry as Geylang got plenty of good local food. As you know, Singapore is very small and very safe, any POI can be easily accessible with our public transports.
oh i will be hungry, for babes, food, music and attractions
Not sure that I would describe the female inhabitants of Geylang as 'babes' and you might be happier in BKK if nightlife is your priority. Dont even get me started on the price of alcohol in Singapore, although the would-be upscale nightclubs in many Asian cities are now just as bad (Jakarta leading the way, IMO). Singapore is a city where 'sorry for your wallet' applies, the upside being that Geylang is probably the safest red-light district I've ever stayed in. That said, I'd avoid flashing Tag Heuer watches and diamond-encrusted iPhones when you wander down the street to get some noodles
i picked joyfor for the sole reason of morning wake ups to a green scenery, i hate opening up the window and see a dead white wall, yish, thats a mood killer
When are you heading down? I'm probably going to be heading out on the morning itself. And will be staying in the hotel, so dead white walls are very likely
