Plenty to see and do, even for non-shoppers. Examples: Take the 30-minute river cruise. Walk (and eat) around Chinatown. Do likewise around Little India. Go on the zoo "night safari" (a truly unique and worthwhile experience). Go to Pulau Ubin, an island (off the northeast coast of the main island) that still has the old "kampong" (village) atmosphere, which has disappeared from the rest of Singapore because of modernization. Visit Sentosa Island (a leisure island just south of Singapore) and: ride the neat aerial cable car for the views; see Underwater World (tropical aquarium); visit Fort Siloso (WWII history lesson); walk the beach; visit Dolphin World; and numerous other activities. Visit Jurong Bird Park. Just off Orchard Road, walk up Emerald Hill Road to admire the classic shophouses, another vestige of colonial Singapore, and stop in at the BeadHub store (string-it-yourself beads). Walk around the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the National Orchid Garden. Take the 2-1/2-hour harbor cruise (with stop at Kusu Island). And don't forget the obligatory Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel! Also, there are some good museums, such as the Singapore History Museum.

And of course, eat and drink!
