Singapore

Located exactly in the equator of Earth, south of Malaysia,middle of South East Asia, a small island which is separated from Malaysia by a small distance.Though it's a small island, but it's densely populated by people of different colours - Chinese,Malays and Indians, and it's one of the most advanced and developed countries in Asia, yup that's Singapore.

Been travelled to Singapore for few times,but dont dare to write anything about it cause only a few times.But counting the last time, now i have been to Singapore for about 7 times and i guess it's time for me to write my impression about this country. Most of the times, i travelled to Singapore by train, which takes about 10 hours , from Kuala Lumpur to Tanjung Pagar in Singapore.A pleasant journey,of course.

Personally, Singapore is a beautiful city, where lots of skyscrapers , tall buildings can be seen everywhere and aparments in every part of the country.People here usually live in apartment rather than in a house due to insufficient of land and space ( Though they are now still buliding a casino for economy purposes ). Very advanced, and much developed compared to other countries in Asia. The city itself is clean and tidy, where one can expect the road to be free of papers or rubbish. This is due to the success of the high quality of the education system adapted in educating people and of course together with the strict law enforced.Though it's a big city, but one can still the green trees and small gardens in the center of the city.River running through the heart of the city and fancy stalls along it , as an attraction to the tourists. People here are very friendly, especially in neighbourhoods where people live in the same apartment always give presents to the neighbours when something are in abundance without wanting anything back. Of course, there are also people who are money minded and ready to take every single advantage from the foreigners,which we experienced it ourself.

Peace,prosper and developed , it's a beautiful city in the East where surprisingly you will not find the city is heavily polluted like any other. It shows success in the law and the leading by the current government.Very little vehicles here compared to Malaysia, people here usually get around using the convenient SMRT- fast and easy and basically you can get to every part of Singapore by using SMRT.

Though of it's advancement in technology, in business , in trading, shipping and so on and of course it's good from the point of view of an economist, but the old traditional values of the East are losing bits by bits and this, from the point of view of a sociologist,it shows deterioration. The mind of the young people here are being eaten by the West's thinkings and cultures that they started to lose their identity and cultures. The beautiful values of the East which people believe are missing day by day and the too '' open-minded'' thinkings of the West are taking over. This is something very obvious in Singapore.Pubs,night clubs and girls standing on the streets to provide ''entertainment'' are quiet prominent in the red light distreet.The moral values are missing and of course there are people who try to prevent the invasion of the bad part of the ''West mentality'' but it seems like they are losing their battle. Once upon a time, they took over the lands , and now they are taking over the minds...

In the nutshell, Singapore is a beautiful city, a good place to set up a house, but not to call a home. I will love to live there, as one can definitely feel the taste of living in a clean,pollution-free city where you can live a simple city-life and experience the life force of the city itself...
