 Singapore!
Located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore's
tropical climate welcomes both leisure and business travelers
year round. The island republic's excellent infrastructure
enables visitors to enjoy its many sites and attractions
in a safe, clean and green environment. Award winning
Changi Airport provides airlinks to major cities around
the world. The train and subway systems are clean, fast
and efficient. In addition, its state-of-the-art cruise
terminal has established Singapore as one of the premier
cruising centers of South East Asia and an exciting port
of call on any Asian cruise itinerary.
In the city, there is no need for a car. Public transportation
is excellent and walking is a good way to explore the
city . All major attractions are also accessible by tour
bus. Since the city is only 60 miles (100k) from the equator,
the tropical temperatures do not vary much. Rainfall is
fairly evenly distributed through the year. No matter
when you choose to visit, warm weather will be abundantly
available. The visitor is struck immediately by Singapore's
abundance of parks, nature reserves, and lush, tropical
greenery.
North of the city, are two nature preserves, Bukit Timah
and the Central Catchment Area, along with the splendid
Singapore Zoological Gardens. The east coast features
good seafood restaurants set on long stretches of sandy
beach. In addition there are over fifty islands and islets
within Singaporean waters, all of which can be reached
with varying degrees of ease. Day trips are popular to
Sentosa, the island amusement arcade which is linked to
the south coast by a short causeway and cable car. Music,
theater, nightlife: all are abundant in this remarkable
city. Singapore used to be considered a "stop over"
on the way to larger Asian cities. This is no longer true!
Visitors seek out Singapore for business and finance and
also for a fascinating and satisfying vacation for the
whole family!
