Vietnam - Taiwain - Korea - Japan Singles Cruise Itinerary
Cruise Day 1: Singapore (Saturday: March 28, 2020 / 8:00pm )
At first glance, this diamond-shaped island just off the coast of Malaysia gleams with modernism and commercialism, making it seem more Western than Eastern. But as you continue to discover the city-state, you'll uncover the eclectic mix of cultures, religions, ancient treasures and British colonial impressions that give rise to a unique Singaporean identity. The cultural fusion is perhaps best expressed in Singapore's unofficial language, Singlish, a unique patois of English, Chinese and Malay.

the mud bath center and changing clothes, we will be instructed on how to clean the body with hot water, followed by a main stage with a mud bath. Lying in pools of mud, apply on the face, bouncing up and body hair. Soaking in the mud about 15 minutes, we will be directed to sunbathe so the minerals will be absorbed by the skin. Then rinse with clean water and soak in the hot mineral water pool, waterfall or pool. To achieve high efficiency mud bath, do not shower with cold water or soap which will wash away layers of mud minerals remaining on the skin, reducing the effectiveness. After each soaking the whole body should dry and rest 10-20 minutes.
