It's true what they say about Singapore. It's a nice clean and safe city. With that said, it's damn expensive! We spent three nights, four days there in a cute hotel in Little India. The decision to stay in Little India was a strategic one, as we are both huge fans of Indian food. We were able to eat Indian food at least 3 times (once for breakfast) and satisfied, our stomachs were full of delicious samosas, dahl, korma, paneer, and most importantly - GARLIC NAAN BREAD!
We did most of our exploring around Singapore by foot and by MRT (there rapid transit system). It was easy to get around and people were so friendly, often stopping to ask if we needed help with directions. Our favorite spots (besides the curry houses) were two Quays we found on the river. The first one had restaurants lined along the river, each with someone standing on the walkway trying to entice you to choose their restaurant (this can get annoying). The second Quay was even larger, with buildings in pastel colour and lots of patio seating. The lonely Planet described this area as "Dr. Suess like" and it was.
Overall we enjoyed Singapore very much.
