Singapore is an unbelievable city! It is big, busy and highly efficient! It is one of the most cosmopolitan cities that is buzzing 24/7.
We arrived and toured the city by night on the river and enjoyed great local food, beverages and ice creams. Singapore was 3 seriously busy days... we explored the whole island and took in the city shops and sounds . One of the multitude of highlights has to be the botanical gardens and the zoo, both of these places are such a contrast to the rest of the city that they capture your imagination. The gardens are like central park with a twist, because you get lost in the gardens filled with orchids and rain forests. The taxis are replaced by birds and the trendy fashion malls are completely out done by the plants. This city is one that really works - super efficient and a must see for anyone heading out to South East Asia. The zoo is a great mixture of each continent and every aspect is interactive and entertaining.
In both Malaysia and Singapore keep an eye on the culture - East meets west. There are these hectic metropolis centres that have amazing 1st world areas and the country that would remind you of driving through the back roads of Africa. The religions here vie for attention and air space and would seem to be predominantly Muslim with the Blue Mosque in KL having an attendance of 40 000 people at a time.
