All I have to say is Singapore is really a good place to visit. MOST of us are very friendly :) The others you can just ignore them :) Do visit us often.

Hey guys I’m from New Zealand here, just wanted to say that I visited Singapore a few months ago at New Years (2006 — 2007), the only place i’ve been overseas!! I was there for about 2 weeks on holiday and loved it heaps. I want to go back there and work if I could but I think they have started only hiring people from their own country or something. I loved the weather, everyone is saying how bad it is but it’s sunny all the time, well it actually rained heaps but was hot still! Everyone was friendly, maybe even more than people in my country, places were clean and it felt pretty safe overall. I loved the place, lovely cityscape (if you’ve been here you’ll notice that buildings are about 2 to 3 times taller!!) thought the girls were beautiful haha and generally loved the convience of everything. I went to everywhere, the markets, zoo, restaurants, this and that. The MRT is easy and efficient, you can get anywhere really fast.

Anyway just thought i’d mention it because it was a great experience. So go to Singapore ok.

Hey you,

I have been to Singapore at least four times. The city is definitely pretty, safe and extremely clean. The locals are friendly & genuine. Luckily I didn’t encounter any shrewd or annoying sales people. If you ever get a chance to go back, find a sidewalk cafe on Orchard Road, just sit there and do some people watching. You’ll find notice how vibrant, productive, fast-paced yet relaxing this city truly is. I can’t say enough about this place. It’s one of my favorite cities (after London, England). Best of luck to you.

Hey,
I’ve been a frequent visitor to your site. Been exploring on some of those CSS stuffs you posted and I’m still lousy at that actually…haha

nevertheless, nice to read about your post on Singapore. Yeah..the humid weather is unbearable even to us during the humid seasons. You may try visiting the HDB areas and visiting hawker centres to get the most of our the country. I love all your shots. It just made me feel proud as a Singaporean :)

Happy Chinese New Year to all who reads this post!

Davey, being Serbian in Singapore is real eye-opener. It shows what can happen to a state when government is actually doing its best to make the life better for citizens. When that happens, I couldn’t care less is it communism, capitalism, monarchy, republic or whatever. I don’t know what it was 30 years ago, but what I’m seeing now is impressive.

Next I will try to find those makan places. :)

Excellent description of your trip to our home.

I’m so glad that you have such a good impression about Singapore. The weather is bad but it’s pretty predictable like what some of my country men have stated. Choose the right time to step out of your hotel and you will have a better time strolling and shopping down the streets.

You did excellent photo shots, hope you will come back again. I’m very glad whenever someone praise my country because I feel so proud of being part of it.

Best Wishes.

Hi Aleksandar

You took really pretty pictures. I am glad that you enjoyed Singapore (somewhat?) :P

Perhaps next time if you ever come again, some locals might take you to other places that you have not visited? The Mandai Zoo is a great place– seeing that you so like dolphins, you probably love animals in general too.

ps: the weather is kind of shitty. Even us Singaporeans complain about it all the time. My personal belief is that it takes at least 6 months to acclimatise to the weather here if you come from temperate or cold regions.

Aleck — Your views on Singapore make an interesting read. Being a UK’er working out in Singapore I find the buildings also air-conditioned to the max. Maybe we just happen to work in a similar office?

Having been here for a while though Singapore warms to you and you get used to it’s little idiosyncracies. Except the humidity. I don’t think I could ever get used to that. Not even if you stick me in a block of ice and wheel me around.

Must have been strange being Serbian here. Singapore to me seems like a country where Communism suceeded and marries succinctly with controlled market forces. Interesting to see what will happen if democracy and freedom of speech ever really hit home here.

If I ever make it to Belgrade I might have to come say hi… :-)
