Singapore is another fast paced city in Asia. With cultures from all over Asia, Singapore is a city that has a lot to offer. I really loved Singapore because it is such a modern city with an Asian feel.  It is one of the most expensive cities to live in however.  I'm lucky I got to stay with a friend while I was there but the public transportation is cheap and so is the food!  While I was there, I went to Universal Studios and had a blast.  If you're a little kid like me, then you'll love it!  Then of course hit the touristy spots of Gardens by the Bay, Raffles, and Marina Bay.  It wouldn't be Asia if there was a huge street of expensive, name brand storms.  On Orchard Ave you can window shop all the name brands.  I would definitely go back to Singapore also because it is such a clean city. They have good upkeep with housing but the only downside is the expense to live in Singapore.

Accomodations
