Singapore is listed at the top when it comes to ‘world’s firsts’. Suntec city is the biggest man made fountain and is located in Singapore. Night safari is the world’s first night zoo and also the world’s highest man made waterfall at Jurong Bird Park is also located in Singapore. China town, little India and Geylang Serai are among those which illustrates the local culture. Singapore’s successful economy is very much attached to its tradition and this can be felt really closer after visiting these spots. Singapore is not all about urban landscape, but natural beauty is also very much prevalent in this city, as it is also known as the ‘Garden city’.

Fast, easy and efficient could describe life in Singapore. You don’t stroll along the streets in a world of your own with time to spare and you definitely do not walk when a taxi is waiting nearby. Life in Singapore is geared towards the making of money and any spare moment given is put to that task. So if one should need to get to work or get to the office, go shopping or attend the cinema (because the children insist on it) then transport is essential.

Private cars are good and super efficient. The MRT or underground system is also a perfect feat of Engineering: fast, clean and cheap for the average punter, but life also seems to include an inordinate number of taxis. They seem to be required and used whether one owns a car not and even when one is standing right next to the entrance to an MRT station. In an average week one can use a taxi about seven times and that in anybody’s books is a lot. [Read more]
