Singapore
For a tiny country only 548sq miles in size clung to the tip of Malaysia, this eastern melting pot of an island knows how to pack a diverse wealth of cultures, values, religions, superstitions and memory unlike any other Asian island. Technically a city state, the many highlights of Singapore revolve greatly around its primary city and main island, Singapore City.
Yet, while its land mass appears relatively small, Singapore emits a wildly varied allure that far outweighs its size. Thriving on a history of absorption from its Malay inhabitants, immigrating Chinese traders, Indian businessmen and laborers, Arab merchants, British Colonials, European adventurists, and Southeast Asian settlers, Singapore hosts a unique authenticity founded on its superb blending of influencing cultures and traditions.
A premier melding of Western tastes, Chinese superstitions, Malay finery and immigrated refinements, Singapore promises a uniquely Singaporean charm all its own.
