Singapore city

For some travelers in Asia, part of the appeal is feeling richer than the local population. Well, in Singapore forget it. Its a wealthy place and has the prices to match. It is clean, modern, organized, and efficient. It is, in other words, a comfort zone where there is almost zero chance of getting food poisoning, pick-pocketed, or even bitten by a mosquito. And yet it retains the variety of flavor of Asian from its ethnic neighborhoods to its funky food stalls, temples, markets and colonial architecture.
