Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Wonderful to visit, but if you told me I had to live here forever I'd be wistfully sad. You could not be devastated, just having the feeling there is more to life. Still, for a week or two, it's just fab. Highly recommended.
Singpore is a bit too clean for me but I liked each of the few times I'ver been there in the last few years. For me, the tourist highlights included the two major botanical gardens & the orchid garden - breath-taking & stunning.

The Muslim area - for the sights, smells (at times) & food.

& aspects of China Town - although much too touristed these days.

I avoided the zoo (sorry Lazza) after reading a hilarious & sad entry on Trip Advisor last year by a guy from the UK about how tourists were simply ignoring the guides request not to take photo's, not to disturb the animals which they kept on doing during thus guy's entire trip with his wife to the said zoo.

Maxwell's food / hawker market has some great food. In Chinatown we found some great small places to eat. Prawn in Tofu hot pot & Pork hotpots were especially yummy. Of course it's hard to go past a good ol' chicken rice - the Chinese staple in Malaysia & Singapore.

I hadn't been bold enough to try Fish Head Soup, also a national / regional tour de force / tour de fare :wink:

Have a good time, Mugwump
Thanks WPT, that all sounds like good advice. Unfortunately it's a work trip, so far too much will be spent in identikit meeting rooms but we'll escape for a few evenings and I'll try to hunt some of that down. I have heard that the fish head soup is fantastic, though I've never tried it, and I can confirm Lazza's advice that the chili crab at Clark Quay, eaten outside in the drowsy heat of the evening and washed down with a few tiger beers is one of life's pleasures.

How funny is it that one of Sydney's draftees had 'liked' several facebook pages labeling Adam Goodes as a wanker and as the flog of the year.

Almost as funny as the Carlton recruit who sledged Malthouse's coaching on twitter

It's ok, I'm sure their new clubs will beat any remaining individuality out of them. :P
