Welcome

to the

2016 CELC Symposium

A warm welcome is extended to all presenters and

participants of the 2016 CELC Symposium. In anticipation of

your visit to Singapore, you may have many questions not directly

related to the presentations.

This guide aims to anticipate some of your questions and to

serve as a quick reference for you. The following pages contain

information on transportation, communication, dining, shopping,

and entertainment options. For those accessing this through a

computer, tablet or smart phone, the Visitors’ Guide includes

links to assist you.

In addition to this Visitors’ Guide, when you arrive at the

symposium, you will receive a copy of Your Quarterly Guide and

a free map of Singapore published by Where Singapore and the

Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in your symposium welcome

materials. These STB publications contain current information

about events, shopping, dining and other attractions in Singapore.

At the end of this Visitors’ Guide you will find a brief section

on what to do in the event of an emergency. We would like to

suggest that you take a few minutes to peruse this page. Should you

fall ill or need assistance while you are attending the symposium,

please seek out our representatives at the Hospitality Table located

outside of the auditorium and they will do their best to get you the

help you need.

We hope that your time here at the CELC 2016 Symposium

is both professionally and personally enriching.

General Information for Visitors For those who are visitors to Singapore, welcome! As you may already know,

Singapore is a vibrant multi-racial city-state-country. We hope your stay here is a

pleasant one.

Singaporeans have achieved a great deal in the last 50 years and while you are

here, you will enjoy the benefits of these efforts. Singapore has a well-deserved

reputation as a clean and green city. From the establishment of a water management

system that provides clean tap water, to a network of public transportation that

efficiently moves people around the island, Singapore has successfully developed into

a nation that offers “green” alternatives on environmental issues. In an effort to

decrease the overuse of disposable plastic bottles, NUS has installed drinking water

dispensers which offer both hot and cool water. Please feel free to fill and refill your

own water bottle at these dispensers. With this in mind, CELC staff have endeavoured

to live out these values with good environmental practices. These practices include

applying a minimalist approach to the use of natural resources and the generation of

waste. Therefore, presenters have been encouraged to provide their handouts in an e-

format to reduce the printing of materials that can easily be accessed online. If you are

so inclined, we would like to encourage you to utilize re-usable drinking and

tableware whenever possible. Please seek out the waste bins that offer recycling

options conveniently located in and around the Stephen Riady Centre.

When transiting around during your stay, we encourage you to use Singapore’s

efficient public transport system. However, the buses and trains can become quite

congested, especially during peak commuting hours. If you are traveling to the airport

during a peak travel period, it is recommended that you leave for the airport a bit early

to avoid crowds and traffic. In addition, as the trains and buses can be quite crowded

during the morning and evening commute, we recommend that you refrain from riding

the commuter trains or buses with luggage. Taxi fares are reasonable, especially if you

are traveling with others. Additional information regarding local transport is detailed

in this guide.

As stated previously, Singapore is a multi-racial, multi-cultural society which highly

values harmonious co-existence. While you are here, we encourage you to forge new

friendships with those attending the symposium and enjoy the variety of cultural

exchanges you will have with your fellow participants. Savour the unique encounters

which emerge within this amazingly diverse collection of World English speakers.

Singapore Botanic

Gardens The efforts to create the Singapore Botanic Gardens date back to the time of the early days

of Singapore and Sir Stamford Raffles. In 1859 the Gardens were established at their

present location and over time they became the locus of successful horticultural research.

Located within the Gardens is the National Orchid Garden. While there is a charge for

admission, the fee is nominal and the beautiful orchids are well worth the cost. 1 Cluny Road Singapore 259569 http://www.sbg.org.sg/index.asp Hours: Daily 5am to 12 midnight

Exercise

NUS is a great place for outdoor exercising. If you are staying on campus you may wish

to use the athletic field or the footpaths for brisk walking or jogging. There are many

stairs and hills that can assist you in your cardio-workout. Please be mindful to proceed

at your own risk. Some of the roadways are very narrow in NUS and traffic travels at a

brisk pace. In addition, the weather here can seriously affect those exercising. Please

plan for hydration during and following your workout. Lastly, for your safety and

assistance, we urge you to exercise with a partner.
