Singapore

A country that can be described with 4 Words: Spotless, sophisticated, efficient but expensive. It’s hard to express that this tiny, booming Asian country is speckled with sky high buildings and posh shopping malls, which was once a colonial backwater. 

Description: 

Singapore is apparently very different compared to the rest of Southeast Asia. It is a modern, well organized, and spotless city where everyone speaks English. In some ways, it is more comparable to cities in the USA and western European towns than to other Asian cities. Singapore has a well-functioning public transport system, high-quality restaurants and cafes, beautiful architecture and art, great shopping, and stunning parks.

If you a planning to travel to Singapore during peak seasons i.e. January- February, June-July, September-October, better book your stay in advance as popularity of this city is not just for tourism but for business and conferences too. Singapore is a rather compact city, which is divided into several districts each with a unique and very different atmosphere, culture, people, and food. A visit to Little India feels like being in real India, while Sentosa Island makes you wonder if you have come to California, USA.


Singapore is probably best known as a country that “banned gum and spitting” as it is illegal to spit on the street, sell or own chewing gum, and gum can only be bought with a prescription from a doctor .
