I am just curious of how many myLotters here know about our small garden city, Singapore? Any comments/compliments about the country? Care to share how you know about Singapore too?

Hello!! YEah, i do know about singapore though!! haha =D It's a first world country, with very strict rules!! Also, it's a clean and green country.. THough small, but it's slowly gaining recognition, all over the world, in all aspects.. haha =D But bad thing about singaporeans, it's their 'arrogant' attitude, especially to those ple, one class below them?? hehe ^_^

lol.. one is never 100% satisfied! Oh that is arrogance? I thought it is because of the odour the foreign workers always seems to have... It seems like a "perfume" they wear or something..

When I used to work in Asia, Singapore was a jump off point to where I'm going. Like when I went to Indonesia, the stop over was in Singapore. I got off the airplane, but I couldn't get out of the airport, as I was waiting for my next flight. I wish I could have gone and explored Singapore. I've heard a lot of good things about the place. One specific thing I remember though, is that it is against the law to eat and bring chewing gum in the country.

I see.. If you have a chance, do come by and visit. Yes it is true, chewing gum is banned in Singapore. To say the truth, many of us still eats chewing gum but discreetly... Just be careful, if you are caught, you will be fined.

I forgot to add. Singapore Airlines is my favorite. I like that when they serve, they almost kneel down on the floor. Makes you feel very special.

where are you from? I am not sure about the pay as i am in a different industry... Not sure how you define good, but it is a safe place so far from what I hear for chilling and enjoying till late nights... Hope you have a good week ahead!

I lived here in the Philippines. Territory-wised, Singapore is closer to my native land. I always like Singapore because of its very progressive economy. I have this desire to visit and travel to Singapore. This small but elegant country has lots to offer to tourists, I want to see Sentosa.

Ah.. I suppose as a country-wise, Singapore is successful in promoting herself to tourists. As a Singaporean, I can say it is a place worth visiting and exploring for a holiday or for a short period of time. As long term, the standards of living can be quite high to maintain, which many Singaporeans would agree with me. Sentosa is a small resort island with pack with as many activities she can offer. Though not comparable to other places, as a small island, it is enough to last for a short stay. Do come by and visit when you have a chance. Worth the trip, especially for relaxing. For me, I will work towards my new goals of travelling overseas! I, too, wish to visit your country one day. Any good places to recommend to visit from your country?
