I Like Singapore

Imagine my surprise. Everyone told me all there is to do here is shop, and that three days was more than plenty to see everything. And while that last bit is pretty true, this city is actually really liveable. Streets are clean, public transport is efficient, bus maps actually exist and are easy to read, people want to help and talk to you, not in a two-legged shark kind of way, but just to be nice.
Yesterday I found the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, one of the nicest Buddhist Temples I have been in to, including 100s of gold Buddhas lining the walls, a photography exhibition, a museum showcasing the life of Buddha and a roof-top garden with gorgeous flowers and a giant prayer wheel.

Chinatown is clean and has plentiful food options. Little India is somethin'. The river is nice, the Durian (the performing arts center) has lots of stuff to see; there are tons of restaurants, shopping, or just places to duck inside from the heat or rain, etc, etc etc. It's a good place. I am pleasantly surprised.

Just thought I'd share.
