As well as innovation, Singapore is also known for cleanliness, low crime rates, high quality of living, and – largely thanks to excellent public transport and the high cost of owning a car – surprisingly little traffic and pollution.
Much like Hong Kong, Singapore is also frequently characterized as a place where ‘east meets west’ – making it a popular destination for visitors from all around the world, who are keen to explore a new culture, without leaving their own behind altogether!
English is very widely spoken here, recognized as an official language alongside Mandarin, Tamil and Malay, and – like larger neighbour Malaysia. While there is no dearth of Indian food, culture and presence, Singapore also has a very vibrant night life, with a number of pubs and hang-out places.
