Singapore travel and vacations in Singapore
 Singapore travel At one point of time in history Singapore was named as "Syonan-to" which means Light of the South. A unique nation in the oriental world with a tiny geography and a great treasure of riches in all its folds, Singapore is truly in the centre stage as Southeast Asia marches. A perfect blend of past and future, ethnic diversities, tradition and modernism, art and business, east and west, serene landscape and skyscrapers, religions diversities and places of worship that are architectural marvels, a kitchen of world's exotic cuisines, Singapore bestows the world a tourist destination of tranquillity and retreat.A small nation host to multifarious culture and structures, Singapore is a peaceful amalgamnation of the effervescent East and dyanamic modernism of the west. A visual delight of connoisseur of modern hi-tech world, Singapore has however managed to sustain the essence of Asia, a tinge of China, a dab of malay, a smear of india.
Singapore vacations Cultural melting pot and dazzling example of the region's economic successes, wealthy Singapore assails the senses of the first time visitor.
The former British trading post and colony has carved a unique niche for itself in its two short centuries of existence, nowadays offering a vivid combination of ultra-modern skyscrapers, remnants of tropical rainforest and colourful ethnic urban areas, each with a character very much of their own.
One of the most noticeable features of this tiny but bustling city-state is its cleanliness - indeed, it is sometimes criticised for its many seemingly petty regulations, such as the banning of chewing gum - but crime is virtually unknown, and it is one of the world's safest places to visit.
Singapore vacations Travel to Singapore It's popular to dismiss Singapore as a kind of Asia Lite - blandly efficient and safe, a boringly tasteless, disciplinarian and unadventurous place where citizens are robbed of their cherished freedom to spit on the street and chew gum. Utter nonsense. Singapore is in fact one of the most enjoyable cities in Southeast Asia. As you zoom in from one of the world's best airports along the lushly tree-shaded expressway or on the zippy MRT train line, you'll quickly realise this is no traffic-snarled Bangkok. And as you stroll through the fashion emporiums of Orchard Rd, poke around antique shops in Chinatown or take a walk around one of the dozens of beautiful city parks, you'll know the city bears no comparison to crime- and poverty-ridden Manila or Jakarta.
