There are many places in Singapore and Hong Kong to go to and its depends on what you are interested in and how much time you have etc. For Singapore, you all can visit the cultural aspect of Singapore. Little India, Kg Glam and Chinatown can all be visited without breaking the bank to tour around. Tech stuff and games, head to Sim Lim Square or Mustafa Ctr. Museums like the National Museum, Philatelic Museum, Asian Civilization Museum etc. can let your learn lots about Singapore and the region. For nightlife, there are lots of night life entertainment in Singapore like Boat Quay, Clarke Quay like MOS and the Clinic are all there etc. Zouk near Kim Seng Bridge is another popular hangout at night with famous guests visiting. World renown Esplanade has many arts shows and performance on the bloc every week. As for Hong Kong, many places to visit as college student. For sightseeing, you can join a tour organise by various tour agencies or you can visit lots of places, like the world renown the Peak, Hong Kong Park, History and Science Museum, visit the old Hakka villages and houses at New Territories etc. As for doing, take the peak tram up and/or down the peak for HK$22/33, take the tram along HK Island for HK$2 per person per ride, take the star ferry from TST to Central or Wan Chai for HK$1.7 or 2.2 etc. As for tech and gadget, head to Mong Kok or Sham Shui Po Golden Computer Arcade to find lots of. Night life is plentiful and you can visit HK's most renowned Lan Kwai Fung or SOHO for pubs and bars, TST East for Karaoke, HK Art and Cultural Ctr at Wan Chai and TST for performing Arts, watch old HK movies and alternatives at Sai Wan Ho's HK Museum of Moving Image etc. The list just goes on and on. Hope those list really helps your on deciding on where to go during free time and have a nice visit and learning experience in both Singapore and Hong Kong. Welcome to Asia, btw.

two major tourist area! victoria peak, go in the morning. then come back down to the downdown district by the river walkway in the afternoon. You'll see performances and check out the Star's walk way, bruce lee and what not. The fare ride is only $0.50 USD. yeah, 50 cents. and 10min ride, so check that out too. At night, go back up to Victoria Peak. Make a reservation at any restaurant with good city night view. You will love it. :) The night and day view from Victoria Peak are completely different. Enjoy. *also, they don't speak English well surprisingly, so when you are at hotel, get them to write down all the places where you want to go. :)
