Singapore: the city of tomorrow

Singapore can fantastically amaze you or completely disappoint. But it will never leave with "so-so" feelings. Personally I was surprisingly for myself charmed by this city. From first sight, it can give an impression of the city without any history or spirit, or special mood build by the centures. But it is not quite so. The only truth is that Singapore is young city. And if europian cities already have strong spirit, history behind and "stereotypes", Singapore is in the process of creating it's own, like Rome in times of Roman Empire, like Paris during French revoultions.

And Singapore has already its specific character, like futuristic city it's modern but made for people, clean though crowded, green and full of skyscrapes.

Intercultutal. It's easy to see MIX of east and west on every corner. And usualy it is reflected in the better light, interculture mix of "best" from different civilizations.

 

Green and Clean. Pretty sure that you wont be afraid of sanitary, it seems line there even pedestrian roads are washed with shampoo. Every corner is clean and repaired. Even there are a lot of building, you'll be surprised how many green spots around.

Made for people. Comfort is priority - that was my impression regarding any construction in Singapore.

 

Sportive. A lot of people running on the riverside in the evening up to 10 pm.

 

Chilling-out. Even in weekday evenings almost all restraunts are full of office-people.

 

Tips for travellers:

* food is cheap in cultural districts, but check if there is no touristic tax, than it will be even much cheaper;  

* sentosa is recommender: there we've found real paradise for two - lonely beach and palms... but there are also many crowded beaches with lots of entertainments and family places
* little India is great experience for staying at hostel in this district, Indian mood in Singapore style - colorful but modest, safe and neat.
