Singapore is very safe, clean and friendly (ideal for expats), a place where everyone speaks English, and close to other countries so it\'s inexpensive and easy to travel elsewhere. Plenty to see and do: dine out in the very reasonable hawker centres, Little India or Chinatown, visit the temples, explore the stunning marina and malls, visit the beautiful Gardens by the Bay, the National Gallery and Singapore zoo in your downtime.
