2D1N Bintan Anmon Resort short getaway from Singapore review

If you are looking for a short getaway from Singapore, you can check out Anmon Resorts in Bintan, Indonesia. I chose Anmon Resorts because I wanted to try out glamping! I booked my stay via Klook and my ferry ride from Bintan to Singapore via Grab Ferry. Transport (Bintan Ferry Tickets on Grab) We took the 1110H Bintan Resorts Ferries from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Bandar Bentan Telani and a 1435H Ferry on the way back to Singapore. It took an hour to reach Bintan but do note that the Indonesian time is one hour earlier than Singapore so you will reach at 1110H Indonesian time.  A complimentary shuttle bus from Anmon can be arranged to fetch you from the terminal by emailing your ticket to iwanttostay@theanmon.com. Once you have reached, look for the signboard that says Anmon and there will be a person in charge to check for your name and reservation. The shuttle bus (1250H) can also send you back to the terminal.  complimentary shuttle bus free buggy rides around the res...

9 day Japan itinerary with JR Rail Pass to Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Osaka

Here is a 9-day itinerary to Japan Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Osaka, Miyajima, Hiroshima, and Kobe, hope this helps. Includes Tokyo to Osaka itinerary, Osaka Kyoto itinerary.  Was Japan expensive to travel to? Best time to visit Japan? We went in mid-March to see the Cherry Blossoms so the flight prices were relatively pricier.  On 4th March 2023, I exchanged SGD$60.81 for 6113 JPY so Yen to SGD was reasonably affordable.  However, the exchange rate dropped when the Cherry Blossom season approached so do exchange your SGD before the Cherry Blossom season starts.  Costs for 2 people: Accommodation: $691.14 Transportation: about $690.46 inclusive of the Japan Rail Pass ($301.49 per pax) Entertainment: $260.72 Travel insurance : $89.42 (managed to claim $50 so incurred cost is $39.42) Pro-tip: If you lose an item on the train or station, please make a report to JR online. This will serve as evidence that you are unable to find your item.  Total damage: $1681....
