I have been to Singapore and it hasn't been a very good experience. I thought the place was all clean, but once you go to the forbidden districts where various kinds of people wander at night, with all the trashes on the streets and people eating gums and smoking on the street. Try visiting the alleys of Geylang. Plus, stuff there are very expensive. In contrast with Malaysia where we stayed longer, commodities are not that expensive. We've also visiter the Merlion, and went to places like Midnight Safari and Sentosa. The travel group I went with there enjoyed the tour, I didn't. Their Chinatown, though, is nice. You can buy many things there, especially clothes which are sold at low prices. Food are also great. If there is one thing about Singapore that I won't forget, it's the fod around Chinatown.

Carl, am sorry to hear of your experience. Geylang alleys is "a red light" area. Most of the people who frequently visit that place is foreigner. The "worker" there is mostly foreigner who is trying to make big buck in a fast way. That is why you find that place dirty with rubbish. Mind you, should you have visited shops outside the tourist area like tampines, jurong, woodlands and others housing estate, then you will find that the commodities are reasonable. Of course compare to Malaysia, their money is half of Singapore dollar. But try quality wise, I bet you will agree with me that product available at Singapore is much more of better quality.

Singapore is the best place for me. For a developing country that remained to be clean and green. It's amazing. I am supposed to live there soon and do business but I can't take the fast paced life and the "too much walking" routine there. But talking about the place, it is the best for me.

Singapore is a very clean and a very nice place to be with for a vacation but for me not a good place to live because it's a very small and has very expensive cost of living, even owning a car in Singapore will cost you a lot of money plus the parking space will cost you trouble. The good thing also in Singapore is you dont have to give Tips on getting a service since they discourage giving tips.

I think Singapore is an amazing place!!! I have been there twice and am planing on going back again this coming summer. Such a clean and friendly place. All those different religions, but still being able to get along as one people is amazing!

If you are a tourist, yes it is a nice progressive place, clean and they are strict with their rules and the law is being reinforce so beware...

Hehehe, right! And, of course Singapore can remain clean, is it not so hard keeping a very small island clean?

Thank you for your comments. It not quite true though. Wonder what make you give such comments?. I have a lot of frens and tourist who became my frens just so because i approached them when seeing they are lost with a map in their hand. Sorry that you face such a bad experience. Perhaps you find the people a bit snob just by looking at their appreances. Mind you, u need to get to know a person first b4 giving such comments.

its a nice place to be! if i will be given the chance to travel again, singapore would be on my list still. sentosa was quite an experience and going thru my pictures taken brings back happy memories of my stay there. bought some cds, too which are cheap. oh no, not the "pirated" cds.:)

my sister and i went there for our first trip a couple of years ago. basically, it's a clean and safe city to visit -- an ideal place for fledgling tourists. it has well-lighted throughfares and well-developed structures. a bit pricey if you mean to stay long though. i wouldn't mind going back there again

My family and I spent our christmas vacation in this place last year. It is true that this place is very clean and people are disciplined compared to my country. I read about their culture and I really admire their economic development. This place is just a small one but look how fast they progress. My country is such a beautiful one and we have every resources that we dont have to import from other countries however I wonder why we cannot cope up and adapt Singapore's economic/government system. However, lifestyle in Singapore is quite expensive.I love shopping in Mustafa where electronics and groceries are cheaper. Their MRT is really the best.
