I think that Singapore although small is a very interesting city to go to. It has superb shopping, Sentosa Island, a bird park and a national park where monkeys can be seen. I loved going to Hong Kong and whilst there I stayed at a youth hostel on the top of Mount Davis. I got amazing views over the beautiful city. The harbor is spectacular and I liked the outer laying islands. Have you ever been to Singapore or Hong Kong? If so what did you think about it? If not would you like to go?

No, I've never been... I think a second cousin lives in Singapore. I'm curious how it's like, I heard it's really clean. But Singapore nor Hong Kong are not the top on my lists to places to go.

I have been both to Hongkong and Singapore. Both are nice cities but I prefer Singapore more. Singapore is the type of city that offers new attraction every now and then. That makes many tourists come back for more. If you think Singapore has many to offer now, visit their tourism board in a few months time definitely they have something new to offer. But of course, I will go back to Hongkong to bring my nephew and nieces to Disneyland. :D

I've been to Hong Kong twice. The first time we have a tour guide and the second time we just did a DIY tour. We have visited Ocean Park but I haven't rode anything except for the cable car since we have stayed there for just around four hours. We also went to Jewelry City were I have bought my white gold necklace and after that we have visited Avenue of the Stars. I have also been to Singapore and stayed there for three months since my Aunt lives there. On my stay there, we have able to visit Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and Batam, Indonesia.

I live in mainland China and have to go to Hong Kong to renew my visa. I love to hike the fantastic trails they have there Where is Mount Davis? I stay at dive hostels om Nthan Road. They are clean and cheap, about 25 dollars a night.

I haven't been to Singapore yet, but if one day I will have a travel to the countries like Malaysia, then I will visit Singapore by the way. It is famous for its cleanness. Since I live close by Hong Kong, so I like to go there. Especially when the RMB rates increase, it seems that it is better to go shopping in Hong Kong. It is a shopping heaven because you can find products come from any countries. And the service is good. The people are polite there. Few months ago we traveled there. My son especially like the swimming pool, science museum and the Ocean Park there. Be sure we will go there again when we have time. I love China

I would love to go to either one or both. But travel in this economy and the fact t hat I would have to go through scans or get patted down very personally, I think I'll stay home. Don't have the $ anyway. Take care

I've never been to either place but I live in Hawaii and both of those cultures converge here in Honolulu, Hawaii. I have learned so much about both cultures and how they eat and what they eat, which is mostly rice and fish. I'd love to visit their cities because they look very beautiful.

I like Malaysia. There are a lots of wonderful foods to feed your appetite and Petronas Twin Towers to visit. A lot of shopping places like Bukit Bintang too. Wonder if you ever think to come to Malaysia?

yes, Singapore is a shopping town. Shopping in Singapore is very pleasant. And that makes me more impressed when I visit there is the problem of security and order which is guaranteed

Singapore is definitely on my list of places to visit - friends of ours that have been rave over it and I have a distant relative who lived there for years but missed my chance to visit at that time.. Still it is a great place to dream of seeing one day :)
