The MRT (train network) is crowded
But also a cheap and easy mode of transport - it's incredibly organised and punctual.
Security do carry large machine guns
They may seem intimidating, however as a result everyone behaves themselves. There was not one time I felt unsafe during my time in Singapore.
It is a shopping destination
Think of shopping centres so large you can get lost in them. When it comes to shopping, Singapore offers the very latest in fashion and technology from all around the world. My favourite stores to visit were H&M, Forever 21, Sephora and La Senza. The markets on Bugis Street are worth a visit for cheap clothing (petite sizes!) and phone accessories.
It's not that expensive!
Word on the street is that Singapore is an expensive destination. Of course it is more pricy than the likes of Indonesia and Malaysia, but when compared to my hometown Perth, prices are very similar. The price of your trip depends highly on your personal taste - fine dining restaurants are popular, and on the other end of the scale so are hawkers/food courts.
Food is everywhere
From the fine dining restaurants and hawkers/food courts I just mentioned, to high tea, buffets, street stalls, cafés and restaurants - there are food options everywhere. All cuisines are on offer.
After leaving Singapore in the early hours of yesterday morning, there's no doubt in my mind that I want to return again soon.
