Overall

Singapore is a beautiful country. Its people love their country, which is reflected in its residents picking up trash as they walk around without a second thought. When I arrived in Singapore at 3am local time, the main part of the city was pretty vacant but was pristinely clean. It was almost like a model home where everything is furnished but the house is spotless because no one lives there. The city is the same way, but millions of people DO live there! Public transportation is accessible everywhere and is relatively inexpensive. Even doing something like just walking around town looking for new and interesting venues was fun. The arts district on the east coast is particularly beautiful and has great clubs and other night life. There is a riverwalk that has shops, restaurants, and night clubs on both sides of the water. It's particularly beautiful at night. If you don't mind big, densely-packed cities, Singapore is a wonderful place. It has all the benefits of a large city like New York without the dirtiness or crime. Oh, and leave your chewing gum at home -- it's illegal in Singapore. Check different websites for Singapore's stringent laws before arriving.
