Kent Ninomiya Singapore

Kent Ninomiya. Singapore is the Disneyland of Asia with all the exotic musings but without the squalor and abject poverty. Here's how Lonely Planet describes this wonderous place.

"Singapore has traded in its rough-and-ready opium dens and pearl luggers for towers of concrete and glass, and its steamy rickshaw image for cool efficiency and spotless streets, but you can still recapture the colonial era with a Singapore Sling under the languorous ceiling fans at Raffles Hotel.

At first glance, Singapore appears shockingly modern and anonymous, but this is an undeniably Asian city where Chinese, Malay and Indian traditions from feng shui to ancestor worship create part of the everyday landscape - colourful contrasts that bring the city to life."
