Singapore is more of a city than a country. Conveniently linked to Malaysia, it’s a great place to start an Asia tour due to the mix of Western and Asian cultures or as a stop-off on the long journey to Australia. Although it initially seems unlike the rest of Asia - modern, slick, clean, efficient - it essentially retains its roots in Malaysian, Chinese and Indian heritage that adds the diversity it needs. Chinatown, Little India and Arab Street show Singapore’s different cultures perfectly. Another must-see is Sentosa Island, a huge national park full of aquariums, sports facilities, walks, rides and museums.
Singapore is a country of great affluence compared to other Asian countries, partly due to an unwritten agreement between the government and the people. In return for a healthy, controlled economy the city lacks the freedom of many Western civilisations. It’s a happy balance for the moment, and the country’s economy has greatly improved since the depressions before the 1960s. Crimes such as chewing gum in public, jaywalking and eating on the subway carry sizeable fines; but this does mean the city is clean and safe.
Chinatown is the heart of Singapore, providing a glimpse of the city's heritage. There are many fascinating temples, and the place is buzzing with merchants and shoppers. The Muslim centre is Arab Street, and is the hub of the textiles industry. You’ll find shirts, sarongs and Indonesian batiks. The largest mosque in Singapore is found here, the grand Sultan Mosque, but the prettiest is the tiny Malabar Muslim Jama-ath Mosque. The Singapore Zoological Gardens are defiantly worth a visit, especially for the night safari.
Orchard Street is what epitomises Singapore’s consumerism, and all that is Western. Shops line the street, surrounded by luxurious, elite hotels and expensive restaurants, bars and lounges.
Situated just 136km north of the equator, Singapore’s climate is pretty similar year-round. Temperatures hover around 30°C, and rain is more likely to fall in November, December and January. The month with the lowest rainfall is usually July.
