The tourists are seem to be enjoying their time as seem from the large smiles on their faces . I feel that i would also enjoy this activity because it seems rather meaningful, having spent most of our time in urbanised areas where we have rare encounters with animals . This would be an overall unique experience for someone like myself .]]> 2018-04-18 00:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252808614 https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252808657 I would bring the international exchange students to S.E.A Aquarium. It is the largest aquarium in the world. It showcase over 100000 species of marine life. It is a place where most tourist go to because they have alot of hands on activities like touching some types of marine animals and can learn about sea creatures. Another place of interest that the international exchange students can visit is the Old Kallang Airport ,where it is hawker center home to many Singapore local dishes like Char Kueh Tiao , Laksa , Carrot Cake . Whereby students get to have a taste of local dishes in a environment like never before .

Firstly, we are exposed to new culture & heritage. Each country has its own distinct culture and heritage . This allows one to know that there are myriad of cultures around the world and they are not restricted to only know about their own. This definitely broadens one knowledge and mind about other parts of the world. However , some may contradict that travelling does not broaden the mind . This is supported by some travellers who are overseas for other purposes.Without leisure time,one would not be interested to explore the heritage and culture of the place. Although this may be true, I still believe that travelling would allow the travellers to learn new things. ]]> 2018-04-18 00:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252808717 https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252809838 Places of interest mean locations where people are interested and attracted to visit. Such as the honeypot tourism and MICE tourism which attracts tourists to come forward to take a look or enjoy.

I would bring the exchange students to Marina Bay sands. There are many facilities such as band performances that are perform for the public. There is also a floating platform. On some occasion, the floating platform are decorated with facilities to cater to the tourist and public. Facilities such as carnival and lamp decoration are often set up. On special events, people would stay up late just to watch the firework performance. For example, on new year Eve, many people would stay up late just to watch the firework show which lasted a few minutes. Not to mention, television show are being broadcast live from there too. Hence I would bring the exchange students to Marina Bay sands.

I would also bring the students to gardens by the bay. Garden by the bay have many facilities. It has a brought space and many species of flowers. Famous flowers such as orchids can be seen. Garden by the bays also have facilities such as the special dome which has waterfall inside and near by there is even an water park which kids can play at. For example, my brother would used to go there just for the water park as it is free and fun. My dad would bring us to see flowers or just take a walk. Hence, I would bring the students to garden by the bay as there are so much things they can see and experience.]]> 2018-04-18 00:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252809838 https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252809856 Yes I agree that travelling broadens the mind. As they get to travel around the world, I get to learn about the different cultures and ethnics groups. There are different cultures such as food culture, different languages and different history. Different countries have different cultures of doing things such as bowing as a greeting for Japanese people. ]]> 2018-04-18 00:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252809856 https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252809868 The first place of interest is Marina Bay Sands.

Yes, 5. Bring them to the construction site. Wooooot. We are known for having the best airports in the world. We are called garden city for a reason and bringing them to Gardens by the Bay would make them amazeballss! Ferris wheel to enjoy the bird's eye view of our city. Hawker centre to let them experience our local culture and life. You know, expose them to the good and bad part of Singapore. Gotta make this experience practical and not just having good memories yo!]]> 2018-04-18 00:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252809934 https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252810050 When we travel we are forced out of our comfort zone to explore new cultures and traditions that other countries offers. They would have new experience that their own native country might not have. When they go to less fortunate country, they would see until people who are suffering from proverty and live in harsh environment such as slums. Thus , they would be more appreciative of their own home and may be motivated to help people that are less fortunate than them. ]]> 2018-04-18 00:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/252810050 https://padlet.com/tampinessec/4e4_oral_SI/wish/253257558 b)
