(like Hong Kong) is a very well-known little southeast Westerners seem to find Singapore the place to live and work. In my three-day trip there, I ran into well over a dozen expatriates who live in Singapore and do business all over Asia. After all, Singapore is clean, with an ultra modern infrastructure and a major airport. Its outskirts are populated with beautiful villas with all the modern conveniences. And, as Asia goes, Singapore's climate is not so bad. Tourists and visitors will also find Singapore a great alternative to Hong Kong. Places like Sentosa Island, the shopping centers and Clarke's Quay, and decorative traditional boat cruises give visitors plenty enough to do. The nightlife in Singapore is great, and although no place is perfectly safe, I felt completely comfortable wandering the streets at night. I've really hit the country about as much as I need to, so my "list" for Singapore is empty. But if I do return, I plan to get away from the city and see the national parks in the northwest.
