Singapore

Excellent to visit.

It is still an attractive place to visit, especially when you have a lot of money :D

it is visitor friendly, people can speak fluent english
and taxis are avaliable in plenty.

i live here…

i feel very safe walking around in the middle of the night.

there are numerous 24-hour mcdonalds and 7-11s all around… so no worries. transport is SO easy to comprehend.

go to sim lim square for really cheap electronic goods, but check a few stores before settling for goods in the first store.

don’t forget to try the various local food at hawker centres or food courts, it’s a good and inexpensive experience! its the one-stop place for asian food!

there are people of all kinds of ethnic origins here… so you will never feel left out!

if you’re planning to come to singapore, you gotta come during the Great Singapore Sale… almost everything is on discount!

To learn about how they put their progressive social policies into practice.

A very clean and nice city. not much else to it though.

The zoo is nice.

yes, worth visiting. But I would never want to live here. So many rules, so many fines. Like a local commented with a sarcastic tone, ‘Singapore is a fine city’. On the other hand: very friendly people, clean city, efficient. But its not for me. They say this is a very safe place, but that safety comes at a price. Granted, I came here smack bang in the middle of an IMF meeting so there were lots of security forces around and extra checks and closed-off roads and such.

Be that as it may, I am in two minds about Singapore. I stayed with some locals and we had many interesting discussions about freedom (of various kinds), politics, laws, and races living together.

On a lighter and consumerist note: this is an excellent place to buy your electronic gadgets and gizmos. Also a good place to have a suit tailored.

It will be interesting to see how Singapore solves its problems in the near future with a ever-growing population and lack of land for developing new housing. In that respect Singapore is a preview of one way to handle a large population and little land. Which, sooner or later, is something a lot of countries are going to face.

So, again, yes, interesting place, was fun to visit (you can see most of the main attractions/famous places in a couple of days) but I prefer the more free/chaotic places, even if they have their own signature problems like higher crime rates and gum on the street and whatnot. But Singapore is certainly a place to go see on this planet.

Ive been here for 3 years and this is IMHO the best place to be in…and I have been to over 90 countries ….

Theres loads to do..always something happening music, nature, museums, great food…and you dont need lots of money for it.

Its clean, its green and its definitely NOT sterile.The locals are the best thing about the place is the friendly, honest and really nice people one meets.

I’m not Singaporean but I am proud to be a part of this wonderful country!

I love Singapore

are magnificent.
