I spent the last ten days in Singapore and I cannot express how wonderful the experience was. We all had a blast and are yet to come out of the holiday mood.
What I loved about Singapore:
1. The well planned city with its amazing infrastructure. One can easily rely on public transport alone and can roam the entire country without having to ask anybody for help. Clear signboards, helpful travel brochures available at the airport itself, maps and route information at every bus station and train station.
2. The city is clean: dust free, pollution free and the roads are so well maintained and clean. Not a single speed breaker, can you beat that India? Traffic signals at every junction, vehicles actually give right of way to pedestrians and everybody follows the rules (can you beat that Indians?).
3. The amazing people. They would hardly look at you or even acknowledge your presence, but if you ask them for help, they will go out of their way to help you. They are courteous and hospitable.
4. The various options for sight seeing and food is another plus point. No matter what kind of a tourist you are: adventure or leisure or shopping or entertainment, Singapore has everything.
5. Tourism is a big deal here. You can see so many instances of the country pushing tourism as mush as possible. And why not? Singapore is a country worth visiting.
The only thing I did not like about Singapore is the weather. It is hot and humid (much better than Bombay though) and it rains when you least expect it to. This is a minor complaint since all public transports and malls are air conditioned and you need to spend very little amount of time outside these, so it’s okay.
Since it is not fair to cram my 10 days trip in a single post, I will be doing a day-by-day tour update. Keep yourself signed in.
