Money wise, Malaysia offered more in purchase power using the USD. For me to chill out in this region, one must travel far North. At my age, being a party-animal is a No-Go!! I\'ll visit with friends both in Singapore, Melaka, and KL. Since Singapore is very tropical, this visit...more Money wise, Malaysia offered more in purchase power using the USD. For me to chill out in this region, one must travel far North. At my age, being a party-animal is a No-Go!! I\'ll visit with friends both in Singapore, Melaka, and KL. Since Singapore is very tropical, this visit strengthens my desire to bolster by fasions in more tropical wear!!close

As a single woman I felt completely safe roaming the streets late at night and it was wonderful to have places that stay open all night like the Mustafa Plaza. The variety of food is mind boggling...the gardens..if you are into that...to die for..definitely worth a v isit plus many bus trips you can take ex Singapore very cheaply...close

However in the crowded streets of Chinatown, fortune tellers, calligraphers and temple worshippers are still a part of everyday life. In Little India, you can buy the best sari material, freshly ground spices, or a picture of your favorite Hindu god. In the small shops of Arab Street, the cry of the imam can be heard from the nearby Sultan Mosque.close

Easy access to transportation.....Metro Transits are literally scattered throughout the city...and cheap too.

Often before making the question many of this singaporeans said"sorry i don,t know" they refuse to help you. Is the only place i found that,people in singapore in general are really unfriendly..maybe because they are too proud of having skyscrapers?it,s a pity.close
