Singapore with its tropical friendly climate has a unique blend of the modern and the ancient setting. Named originally as Singapura by a Malayan prince in the 14th Century, Singapore is often referred to as the Lion City, which the name means. Being one of the most prosperous countries in the world people travel from around the world for both business and pleasure.
Tall skyscrapers, modern subways, busy streets, and vibrant nightlife make up its contemporary mood. You can feel the Chinese, Indian, and Malay influences when you taste their savory dishes, visit their ethnic communities, and interact with residents. One thing you will absolutely love about Singapore is their astounding hawker centers where you can find almost any Asian food for a very affordable price!
Shopping is equally extraordinary in Singapore where you can find cheap items sold in stalls to the most expensive and branded products in posh boutiques.
Although Chinese comprise most of the population, Asia is filled with a range of ethnical cultures including Malays, Indians, Burmese, Filipinos, and Indonesians comprising a minority of Singapore’s population. Although alcohol is very pricey in this metropolis, it will not stop you from having a fantastic time in the Lion City. Bars and night attractions provide entertainment all night long, you can visit their island destination, Sentosa, where you can see live shows, the famous Merlion, and fun and exciting water activities, and experience a safari mood with their wildlife attractions. Gambling and casinos are soon to open this 2010 and surely there are more to look forward to in the future.
