"The financial center of South East Asia" Singapore by cachaseiro

Singapore Travel Guide: 4,509 reviews and 10,201 photos

Singapore is an odd country in the way that it's just a tiny piece of land set in the middle of south east asia and the place caters to most of the banking buisness in the region.
It's full of high rise buildings and the place just smells of buisness.
It's a very international place with many nationalities as many foreign companies have branches here.

Some people love this kinda place and some people hate this kinda place.
I am one of those who love it.
I like the cosmopolitan feel of the place and would love to go back any day.

    How can you not love a place that smells of business? Some people are just strange if they can't appreciate such a thing. ;p

    Another fabulous new page of yours. I haven't heard about the Singapore Flyer before. Especially your accomodation tips are very helpful.

    I never knew the London Eye is now an 'also-ran'!! I'm not much of a big city type of guy but my brief stay in Singapore was not bad - way back in 1981. I like the looks of the ferry ride to Indonesia!

    Very good accomodation tips! I remember Singapore as very slippery on rainy days wearing flipflops.
