Reflections of Singapore

• A very modern, clean and successful city
• Very easy to get around, either by MTR (subway), bus or foot
• Apart from the MTR it's a very expensive city, with beer at £5 a go and an average meal in a restaurant at £35 to £40 each.  However the street food was both tasty and good value
• It felt very safe even on a night when it was well light up with lots of people around
• Very busy especially in the tourist area (although it was the Xmas holidays)
• A fantastic mix of cultures which meant there was lots to see (temples, districts, attractions)
• Fantastic range of cuisine and all of what we had was very tasty
• Tiger beer tastes its best here (we suppose like most beers do in their home place!)
• Simon really liked it here and put it just ahead of Hong Kong.  For Diane it surpassed her expectations but HK just nosed ahead for her
• We really saw a lot of the city both the main attractions as well as some sense of everyday life. That was thanks in the main to our generous hosts and 'tour guides' Georgiana and her family on one day and Ollie on the other
