The pearl of Southeast Asia.
Easy to navigate and modern, the streets are pristinely clean and at times I felt like I had bizarrely stepped on to a movie set. Packed with familiar landmarks plus colourful contemporary and colonial architecture, Singapore City is brimming with friendly people and is a popular hub for expats.
If you're looking to visit Southeast Asia and are unsure if you are ready to take on the scenic streets of Laos or the crowds in Bangkok, I recommend a visit to Singapore for a smooth transition to Southeast Asian culture.
