The Lion City

Singapore is a very vibrant modern city in Asia with enough to do to last a traveller for weeks. In my pages you will see just a small sample of the things to see in SG.

One of the great things about SG is the very active VT community there. Great thanks to all SG VT'ers who greeted me, but a special thanks to imstress for setting up 2 fantastic VT meets for me!
