Excellent food!
You do not need to splurge on restaurants here, as the food courts serve all the best food from the surrounding countries.
A city, island and country, Singapore is seen by some as the most important financial centre in South-East Asia, while others think of it as a sterile city where everything runs like clockwork. Both these assumptions aren't that far away from the truth. This may not paint the most colourful picture in the world though. But don't fret - there is a lot to see. Singapore has a beach to bask on, stores to shop in, sights to snap at, and some of Asia's most fascinating neighbourhoods.

Singapore i think is the very neat and clean country in the world. the law system is very good. shopping is cheaper then thailand or so. i love this country but a little expensive in accommodation here.
Easy to communicate with people around SG. Good food, lots of intersesting place,safe and clean environment. But its little bit expensive around SG.
singapore is quite a surprise if you've been in surrounding countries for long. extremely modern and clean, this city/country is sure to dish out some mild culture shock. as for things to see.... well, there's buildings, and more buildings. it's a great place for city-scape pictures, both at night and in the day. but beware - there are tourist traps for backpackers, and they don't come cheap. overall, as an adventurer, it was cool to see, but 3 days was more than enough.
Insider Tip:don't pay to go to the top of the sands! just walk in the hotel like you own the place, get into the elevator on the right to the 57th floor. you're meeting your friend for drinks up there, aren't you?
