city on a hill singapore

Get your group together for a cookie decorating contest where everyone can show off their creativity and enjoy some sweet treats. Set up different stations and provide them with all the essentials – cookies, icing, sprinkles, edible glitter, and more.

And here’s a tip: make it a friendly competition! You could have categories like “Most Creative,” “Best Use of Color,” or “Cleanest Icing Work”. Also, don’t forget to give away fun prizes for the winners – maybe a holiday-themed gift basket or a fancy bottle of wine. 

📍Where to go: Worried about the logistics? You can find many kitchens for hire , like City On A Hill and DANAMIC , a studio for up to 40 people. As one of the guests from DANAMIC, Dorcas, raved on Tagvenue, “ My guest really enjoyed the space and taking pictures. We felt like our own home. “, the cozy setting at this venue will bring a warm atmosphere as cookies fresh out of the oven.

4. Visit the Museum of Ice Cream🍦

5. Art Jamming Session🎨

Set up a Christmas-themed art station adorned with twinkling lights, and book a session with a professional artist to guide you through painting a festive scene. Paint a classic nativity scene, capture Rudolf being mischievous, or depict Santa and his elves in action. Your group will enjoy creating these holiday masterpieces together.

And if you prefer a more casual approach, you could turn it into a fun sip-and-paint session with eggnog and holiday music playing in the background.

Plus, you all will walk away with a one-of-a-kind Christmas decoration that you made yourself –how cool is that?

💡Pro tip – Hire a studio with plenty of natural light and enough room for all those easels and paint palettes. Believe me, you don’t want to feel cramped while working on your masterpiece.

📍Where to go? Check out PaintBlush in Little India for your creative experience, a top-rated art studio known for its spacious and well-lit studios!

“ Super fun experience to do on your own or with friends! All the materials are provided, and the Paintblush team are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. “ Nica. P from Google Maps.

6. Themed Costume Party🎅

Themed costume parties aren’t just about dressing up – they’re about creating immersive experiences that transport everyone to a different world, even if just for a night. 

From simply dressing up as snowmen and snow angels to going all out with elaborate costumes from a specific time period or movie, the possibilities for creating a fun and memorable holiday event are endless!

💡 Need inspiration for themes? Here are some ideas: 

  • Santa and Friends : Encourage everyone to dress up as Santa, elves, reindeer, or toy soldiers. 
  • Tropical Holiday : Embrace Singapore’s warm weather and invite your group to come dressed in Hawaiian shirts, leis, and sunglasses.

Baltiysk-Kaliningrad cruise port

Region Baltic - Norwegian Fjords - Russia

Local Time 2024-08-31 10:12

Baltiysk is a Russian port town (known as Pillau / Piliava prior to 1946) with population around 33,000. It is located on the northern part of Vistula Spit (a peninsular stretch of land). Baltiysk is Russia's westernmost town, also major naval base and ferry port on the Baltic Sea route to St Petersburg . Baltiysk (Kaliningrad) and Sankt Petersburg are Russia's only Baltic Sea ports free of ice the whole year-round.

During WW2 (1939-1945), the German port town Pillau had a U-boat training facility. Here on April 16, 1945, by artillery fire, the Russians sunk a U-78 submarine docked near the pier. This was the war's only case of a submarine being sunk by land-based forces. As the Soviet army entered East Prussia, over 450,000 citizens from Pillau were evacuated (ferried) to other ports in Germany. The town was captured on April 25, 1945.

After the war, the town's remaining German inhabitants were expelled. In 1946, its name was changed from Pillau to Baltiysk. In 1952, there was inaugurated a Soviet Navy base. As a result, the town was closed for foreigners and accessible by permits only.

Kaliningrad (fka Konigsberg) is a Russian port city on the Baltic Sea, as well as the administrative center of the Russian territory Kaliningrad Oblast (located between Lithuania and Poland). The city has a population of around 430,000. As the East Prussian province's capital, Konigsberg was founded in 1255 and named in honor of King Ottokar II. During WW2, Konigsberg was heavily bombed and damaged by the British in 1944. At the end of the war, it became part of the USSR (Soviet Union). In 1946 was renamed Kaliningrad (after Mikhail Kalinin). In the period 1946-49, the German population was expelled, the city was repopulated with USSR citizens and rebuilt.

In July 2007, Russia declared that if NATO missile systems were deployed in Poland, then Russian nuclear weapons might be deployed in Kaliningrad.

Among Kaliningrad's most popular tourist attractions are museums (Immanuel Kant /on Kneiphof island, History and Arts, Amber Museum, State Art Gallery, World's Oceans), churches, the city gates, Kaliningrad Zoo (since 1896, with 315 species and thousands of individual animals), Lower Pond (man-made lake and recreation park), Upper Pond. There is an anchored U-boat (B-413) hosting a permanent exhibit about Russia's submarine fleet. The city's oldest building is Juditten Church (built 1288).

Kaliningrad has its own brands of vodka (Stari Konigsberg) and beer (Ostmark).

The city has many restaurants offering traditional East Prussian specialties, as well as seafood dishes, pizzas, sushi.
