Singapore consists of many islands,
mentioned yesterday Kusu Island is only one of them.
Singapore – Islands

Singapore – Kusu Island
Kusu Island (Tortoise Island) is a lovely place for a day trip
(unfortunately, staying overnight is not allowed).
Singapore – Hotel
Marina Bay Sands is a famous resort in Singapore,
that’s almost a symbol of the city.
Singapore – Lion City
The lion head (today’s picture) is a symbol of Singapore;
and Singapore is even called as a Lion City.
Singapore – Cycling
Singapore has its own special rules,
e.g., chewing gum was forbidden in Singapore, but later some exceptions were added.
Cycling is allowed, but as you see, not everywhere.
Singapore – Still Growing
In Singapore, you’ll see buildings under contraction,
the city is still growing and getting more and more modern.
Singapore – Modern City
I heard someone comparing Singapore with New York,
but you cannot really compare them.
New York is rather old, Singapore is rather new; they are different.
Do you agree?
Singapore – Nature
Singapore is rather known as a modern city with many skyscrapers.
But there are also green areas and parks, so it’s not so bad.
Singapore – Zoo
As I already mentioned, I don’t like zoos, but sometimes, while traveling, I visit a zoo, especially if they have some typical animals for a given place.
The zoo in Sinapore was big and looked quite good.
Singapore – Orangutans
Men of the forest, i.e., orangutans (orang utans), can be seen in Singapore, but only in a zoo.
I’m rather against zoos, but the one in Singapore was quite nice.
Singapore – Little India
If you’re not sure are you still/already in Chinatown or Little India,
check the menu in any nearby restaurant – it’ll answer your doubts. 😉
Singapore – Chinatown
While being in Singapore and exploring all modern areas, don’t forget to visit two special districts – Chinatown and Little India.
Singapore – Districts
Singapore has 28 districts.
You don’t have to visit all of them, but check different places in Singapore to get an idea of its diversity.
Singapore – Contrasts
Singapore is a very unique country,
it’s very modern, clean and safe,
but you’ll also find here many different districts that don’t really fit to this description.
“A bit of everything”, as I mentioned before. 🙂
Singapore – Flag
The flag of Singapore consists of red (for equality) and white (for purity) horizontal stripes (my picture may be confusing).
In the upper-left side a white crescent moon and five small stars are placed. Stars represent democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.
Singapore – Is it Worth Visiting?
I think, it’s worth to visit Singapore;
at least to see how it really is.
I wasn’t very impressed by Singapore,
but it all depends how and with whom you’re traveling.
Singapore – Religion
Singapore is also quite mixed when we talk about religion.
You’ll meet here people who practise Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Taoism, folk religion etc.; plus many non-religious people.
And, I’ve never heard about any “religious problems” in Singapore… Have you?
Singapore – Official Languages
Singapore has four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin Chinese, and Tamil.
So as a tourist, you can easily communicate using English.
Singapore – International Country
Singapore is a very mixed, “international” country,
where you can find “a bit of everything”.
Singapore – Population
Singapore is a country with one of the highest population density;
and it’s growing and growing.
