Uniquely Singapore - An Insider’s View (“;)
With a population of 4 million on a land area of 682 square km, and land being scarce which means about 80% of the population have to live in apartments / flats, Singapore is a relatively small country and a young nation having attained her independence o... more
Orderly and clean, but a little paranoid perhaps?
This city-size country did not particularly impress me. Well, let me rephrase that. It did not meet my expectations. What I found in Singapore was a big shopping mall. There was not really much more to it. Nevertheless there were specific elements of the... more
East Meets West in Singapore
Singapore, the small, ultra-modern city-state off the Southern tip of Malaysia, proved to be the perfect stepping-stone from San Francisco to Rangoon, Burma in that it offers all of the Western amenities you could ask for yet stills retains its sense of t... more
Singapore photo hotspots
It's a beautiful city, which cannot be appreciated in a great hurry. It really is a bustling metropolis, but the people will amaze you with their laid-back and helpful manner. Even those who do not speak your language (English for me) are willing to bend... more
Visiting friends in Singapore
Singapore is often just a city on your way to your destination. Many backpackers try to get away from the city as fast as possible because it is too expensive. But we got to experience a bit more of Singapore since we had friends that could take us around... more
Few Days in Singapore
I took a bus from Penang Malaysia down to Singapore for a few days. Crossing the border overland was very easy with no problems encountered. I did make the mistake of leaving my bus once at the border to change some money and find my own way to Chinatown.... more
Suprising city

My Birth place

Singapore - Island city
Singapore is a small island off the southern tip of Malaysia. It is a modern westernised Asian city with tall skyscrapers. Lots of excellent food and shopping and all very cheap. The public transport is efficient and cheap, and the city is very clean and... more
A beautiful and very very clean city. The locals really do make you feel at home. Many people who have not visited this country say it is expensive but it is quite the opposite as long as you find the right places !! more
Working in Singapore
Singapore is a city and state at the same time. Although over 4million people are living there, I always had the feeling of being in kind of village. The climate is hot and humid with average temperatures of 25-30°C throughout the year. The rainy season i... more
