Back in 2005 I visited the World's Fair in Japan, outside of Osaka. (as you can guess from my FReepname, I've been connected to Japan most of my life) The one thing I remember most about the Singapore pavilion was the room where you were to experience the climate, which made Panama (where I taught in '99) feel like the Yukon. I would love to experience the city but I'm not sure I could handle the perpetual sauna.
LOVED Japan in 2008. My best friend and her husband are there now.
There is an old joke. We will never be able to go to the sun. No problem, just go at night.
You can go to Singapore at night.
Best wishes
