Singapore

Like nearly everything else in the city, the Singapore Changi Airport is a miracle of efficiency. All services are provided locally and it is recognised as one of the best airports in the world. Both its terminals are linked by a skytrain which operates at the transit and public areas as well as Terminal 3. Obviously, the shopping is high class here and the waterfall trickling down the atrium is a refreshing sight. Transportation to and from the city is excellent as the last station of one of the routes on the MRT tube is at the airport. The tube is also the cheapest and fastest way to the city whereas a taxi to the city takes around 30 minutes. Bus and train terminals are located at the basement of airport terminals 1 and 2. Prepare the exact fare for buses as no change will be given. If you choose to go by train, you would have to switch trains at EW4 - Tanah Merah MRT Station to get downtown. A Ground Transport Centre (GTC) is available at the Arrival Hall of both Terminals. For more details on time tables and fares, pick up a copy of the MRT brochure at the Changi Airport MRT Station.

Singapore Post offers most common postal and telecommunications services to customers and businesses. They have 13 offices operating worldwide, 56 domestic post offices and over 7000 PopStation lockers where deliveries can be held and claimed.

There are pharmacies in most supermarkets, department stores, hotels and shopping centres and they are usually open from 9am to 6pm. They sell everything from paracetamol to prescription medications and many offer some novel, natural treatment options. Many high end hotels have their own in house doctors that are available 24/7 whilst other doctors are listed under Medical Practitioners in the Yellow Pages.
