Parking fees in Singapore are far from cheap and finding a carpark lot near your desired dining destination is definitely not the easiest task. We have also heard a fair share of embarrassing stories where drivers found themselves stuck in the carpark’s gantry due to their cashcards’ insufficient balances.

As avid drivers ourselves, we understand the hassle of finding convenient car parks and the need to constantly top up our cashcards. It seem almost brainless that one should top up your cashcards when they are nearly depleted of value – but trust us, this trivial errand never fail to slip off our minds.

Fortunately, there are actually several restaurants and dining areas in Singapore that offer free parking to guests and we are thrilled to share these exciting places! Read on more to find out where these dining destinations are.

Finland AuroraSource: Visit Finland

The aurora is a jaw-dropping natural light phenomenon that has been fascinating human civilisations since medieval times. These stunning displays are not related to the supernatural, but are simply a result of the collision between earth’s gas atoms and charged particles from the sun’s atmosphere.

Auroras take place in high-latitude regions and one can witness these spectacular formations at either of the magnetic poles during specific periods each year.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the auroras are known as ‘Aurora Borealis’, while auroras in Southern Hemisphere are called ‘Aurora Australis’. There are many aurora variations and they could exist in blue, green, pink, red and/or ultraviolet colours. Similarly, the shapes of the Northern and Southern lights could vary from curtain-like arcs to diffused flickering patches.

In this installation, we share more about Aurora Forecast for 2016 and the 5 Best Places to Catch Them.
