Neutrino Supercharged April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 Singaporeans MUST go to places where no other Singaporean has been. I can't understand it. A beach resort is a beach rsort anywhere in the world. But enjoy yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged April 18, 2014 Author Share April 18, 2014 A beach resort is a beach rsort anywhere in the world. The difference is the quality of the environment, service and infrastructure. You wouldn't compare, for example, Sentosa's Beaufort with the resorts in Bora Bora. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya lor...dunno why so many self deluded people bother flying to other countries when their own countries have the same things. Why the Japanese tourists must go to Switzerland to see Matterhorn? Mt Fiji same same right? Why SG tourist go to Niagara Falls? Jurors Bird Park got waterfall also. Oh but that is man made? Kota Tinggi? Why T2 must smoke Cuban? Camel can liao mah...

Want to go there myself after reading some Michener books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged April 18, 2014 Author Share April 18, 2014 You been to the resorts in Bora Bora? How did you get there??? Want to go there myself after reading some Michener books. Yes. I flew to Auckland for a connection flight to Papeete followed by a flight from Papeete to Bora Bora. It's really not difficult to get there at all. I stayed at Intercontinental Le Moana. I heard Intercontinental Thalasso is better and it was under construction when I was there in 08. Of course you can try the famous Hotel Bora Bora now owned by Aman Resorts. Bora Bora is a must go for beach resort lovers. It is really paradise on earth. The water in the lagoon is so warm and amazingly clear and the people there are friendly and hospitable Next stop in Tahiti will probably be Moorea. And I want to try Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia too! Indian Ocean destinations to complete will be Mozambique, Tanzania and Madagascar! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a city worth exploring if it is relatively safe compared to cities such as Mogadishu or Khartoum LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a city worth exploring if it is relatively safe compared to cities such as Mogadishu or Khartoum LOL Only few will speak English and they are rather helpful people. Very low GDP so bring smaller notes. Gifts and tips are always welcome there but if one shown to give too much, you may end up with a crowd. One still can find food around 8pm at Maputo, smaller cities like Nacala, one will starve after 5pm. Medical assistance is third world and do take precaution but if you bring too much, it might be an issue as they might think u r a dealer. In general, it's a safe country, just avoid red light district etc. I recommend you to find out the MZ embassy details and also Singapore's which the nearest one is in South Africa.

My advice to you. Use your brain and quit your stupid assumptions. Bigots like you make me hot under the collar. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could see it would take 38 hours plus minus from Singapore and you have to travel via NZ. Aus or Japan. This is too long for me. Pity no direct ish flight from Sing or KL.

Porker Turbocharged April 20, 2014 Author Share April 20, 2014 Not that long. Singapore to Auckland takes about 11 hours and Auckland to Papeete is another 5 or so hours. Papeete to Bora Bora is less than an hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 Nice. my personal tolerance for a beach holiday is 2-3 hrs travel. Though i do wish to go Bora Bora once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
