Formerly if there is people who go to Singapore, it’s a rich people. But now we must change the opinion, because now there are tips & method “how we can go to abroad especially Singapore with low price”. If you want go to Singapore with low price, in here I give you 3 methods for arrive to Singapore, such as:
1. From Jakarta to Batam (Hang Nadim Airport)
2. From Jakarta to Changi Airport International
3. From Jakarta to Johor Bahru
For the first method, or from Jakarta to Batam (Hang Nadim Airport International). Batam strip is a main strip for Backpackers, because cheap price and we can also hangout in Batam island.
_Preapare_
First, we must searching cheap air ticket. The air ticket that I get is Air Asia for departure 27-31 Oct 2009 (return). With the price Rp.418.401 economy class + domestic Airport Tax Rp. 30.000 and international airport tax Rp.100.000. usually if we want get a cheap air ticket Air Asia we must buy 1-2 month before departure via internet or online & we can pay by debit mandiri or all credit card.
Second, we must make a schedule from departure until back to Indonesia again. By the way we must preapare anything about administration, for example: Passport & NPWP. Now go to abroad we not must pay fiscal if we have NPWP, but if we don’t have NPWP we must pay fiscal Rp.1.000.000 via sea & Rp.2.000.000 via air.
Third, after we make a schedule, we must can estimate a price that we need in Singapore. Because in Singapore very expensive, for example mineral water in Singapore Rp.14.000, whereas in Indonesia Rp.2.000.
_ Tour_
I bought Air Asia ticket for return Rp.418.401 and Domestic Airport tax Rp.30.000, the tour from Jakarta to Hang Nadim Batam. The departure is 06.40 am and arrival 08.15 am. More than we arrive at Soekarno-Hatta Airport 2 hours before check-in. the journey from Jakarta to Batam approximately 1,5 hours. After arrive in Hang Nadim Airport more than we buy a fast ship “Batam Fast” for return with price S$ 34 (S$34 x Rp.7.890 = Rp. 268.260), because for the price little bit cheap about S$2, but we must pay Singapore Dollar but if we pay with Rupiah for the price little bit expensive.
After we buy a Ferry ticket we use by taxi to Batam Center about Rp.70.000 & if we want cheaper we can share with our friends or other people that want to Batam Center. By the way Batam have 2 ports there are Batam Center & Sekupang, & also Batam have a Fast Ship there are Batam Fast & Penguin. The journey from Batam center to Harbour fornt ± 1 hour. After arrived in Horbour Fornt Singapore we must preapare Passport & arrival administration for Singapore Imigration. After that we can see Singapore, because Harbourfornt in Singapore connected with Shopping centre or mall Vivo City. So if we want direct to Bugis by MRT (merit Rapid Train). But before that we must buy a card MRT with price S$15 include all. After arrive in Bugis Junction or Bugis Station we can searching a living place or hostel because for the price little bit cheap more than hotel. For /night ABC Backpackers Hostel about S$14, S$17, & S$20 include breakfast. Usually 1 room there are 6 beds.
For the second method, our tour from Jakarta direct to Singapore by Air Asia for departure 27-31 Oct 2009 (return Rp.858.000 + International airport tax Rp. 100.000). for departure from Jakarta direct to Singapore of course little bit expensive, but we can time thrifty, and the trip from Jakarta to Singapore (Changi Airport) ±2 hours. After arrive Changi Airport Singapore we can continue our journey to Bugis by MRT for searching a cheap price hostel.
For the third method, our tour from Jakarta to Johor Bahru by Air Asia for departure 27-31 Oct 2009 Rp.155.000 oneway or if we buy return Rp. 310.000 (promo price) + International Airport tax Rp.100.000. after arrive in Airport Johor Bahru, and if we want direct to Singapore we can do the journey by bus with price $0.8, this bus pass by border Johor Bahru-Singapore if in the border there is a passport check. After arrive in Singapore, we can buy a MRT card S$15 for continue our tour to Bugis and seaching a cheap price Hostel in Bugis area.
So according to me between the 3 strips that I had explain to you, I choose third method (Jakarta-Johor Bahru) because for the price little bit cheap more than the first method (Jakarta-Batam). Maybe the price in third method is a promo price, but if there isn’t a promo price I choose first method (Jakarta-Batam) because if I choose first method I can see & know Batam island & I can hangout in mall of Batam while waiting time of ferry or Batam Fast, because Batam Center near Mall of Batam.

Ecuador
Republic of Ecuador is a country in South America west of the sea, bordered by Colombia to the north, by Peru on the east and south, and with the Pacific Ocean in the west. The country also includes Galapagos Islands (archipelago Colon) in the Pacific, about 965 km west of the mainland. Ecuador is located on the equator (Ecuador is Spanish for "equator") and has area of 272,045 km.
Quito is the capital of Ecuador. Republic of Ecuador is one of three countries that emerged from the fall of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the other is Colombia and Venezuela).
Tourism
TVGalapagos island is famous in ecuador and the landscape is also a very interesting tourist attention.
Money
Ecuador adopted the United States dollar (USD) as its currency in 2000.
Climate
Tropical along coast, becoming cooler inland at higher elevations; tropical in Amazonian jungle lowlands
Transportation
By plane
Quito's airport has an executive lounge shared by all the airlines with drinks, snacks, and seating areas. The view is not of the airplanes and runway, but there is a view of the airport entrance and the surrounding mountains. Business class travelers get a free invitation. Economy passengers may enter by paying USD $15 as of August 2006.
Another port of entry is Guayaquil, which has a modern airport that includes the typical amenities such as restaurants and duty-free shopping. The airport is located north from downtown.
The Galapagos Islands are one of the Ecuadorian provinces and have two airports, one of which is on Baltra and the other is on San Cristobal. Aerogal is the name of the airline which flies to Galapagos. There is no way to get to the Galapagos without first coming to Ecuador.
The Quito airport charges an international departure tax of $40.80. The tax is $26 from Guayaquil. This tax usually is not included in the cost of the flight.
Drink
Aguardiente, often made from fermented sugar cane, is the local firewater. If possible, have some ground freshly into your cup from the sugarcane.
Bottled mineral water is very common and is guaranteed safe to drink; it comes in both carbonated (con gas) and noncarbonated (sin gas) varieties.
Coffee and tea are widely available. Herbal teas are also common. Probably needless to say, but Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other types of soda can be found everywhere in Ecuador.
Fruit juice is plentiful and good. Ask the server what kind of juice they are serving and you are often presented with a long list: piña (pineapple), mora (blackberry), maracuya (passion fruit), naranja (orange), sandia (watermelon), naranjilla (a jungle fruit), melon, taxo, guanabana, guava, etc. You can get them made with milk if you ask for a batido. Fruit juice and yogurt are available at some street stands. However, not all juices are served cold as many people expect; it's more than likely a lukewarm juice will be served to you.
Eat
Throughout the country there is a lot of variety as to what is typically eaten, depending on the location. In the Sierra, rice almost always accompanies lunch and dinner, and in the coast potatoes are popular. Soup is also a big part of lunch and dinner. Breakfasts often consist of toast, eggs and juice or fruit. Batidos, or fruit shakes, are popular breakfast items or snacks.
Restaurants run the gamut in terms of menu, quality, hygiene, hours and price. Basic meals can be had for less than $2, or it is possible to pay close to U.S. prices in the tourist areas, especially for food from the American chains.
If you're on a budget, your best bet for a good and local meal is to order an almuerzo (lunch) or a merienda (dinner). These normally consist of a soup, a meat main course and a dessert for $1-$2.
More expensive restaurants (say, ones that charge $4 per meal or more) often add a 12% sales tax and a 10% service fee.
Coffee or tea (including many herbal varieties) is typically served after the meal unless you ask for it sooner.
Except at places that cater to foreigners, it is the custom not to present the diner with the bill until it is requested. While many servers are used to rude tourists, rubbing your fingers together isn't as accepted as in Europe although it's not considered downright rude as in the United States. The best way to get the check is to tell your server "La Cuenta, Por Favor."
Smoking is allowed in most restaurants, but the lay explicit prohibit smoking in closed areas, so it's a good idea to ask for a smoking section, or ask if the restaurant allows smoking.
Locro de papa is a famous Ecuadorian soup with avocados, potatoes and cheese.
Ceviche is a common dish found on the coast. It is a cold seafood cocktail that is usually served with "chifles," thin fried plantains, and popcorn.
Encebollado is a hearty fish soup with yuca, also found on the coast: A tomato-fish soup filled with chunks of yucca, marinated vegetables with "chifles" thrown in for added crunch.
In the Highlands, Ecuadorians eat cuy, or guinea pig. The entire animal is roasted or fried and often served skewered on a stick.
Empanadas are also a common local food that are usually consumed as snacks in the afternoon. The most common varieties of this filled pastry are cheese and/or chicken.
