Singapore is a small city-state in Southeast Asia. It is a lovely place to visit. The attractions are quite close to each other, so travelling between them is convenient. The food here is varied - all kinds of Asian food. The outdoor food markets are fun and affordable. You order your food, and it is cooked right before you. Then you go and eat it at a table outside. It's a great way to meet people. But what I like most about Singapore is that it is multicultural - Chinese, Malay, Indian, European, and Vietnamese. For me, that's the best thing about Singapore.
