We landed in Singapore about 11:30 PM From SF with a two hour stop in Tokyo. The hotel wanted us to pay for the night we were booked the next night. We checked our bags and walked around. They gave us a room at 10 AM wth no extra day charge,
We were there 3 nights and days and never saw a cop except at the airport.
My wife’s friend from Manilla works there and writes for Tye Financial news of Asia. We saw everything, it’s not a big place and took a bus tour to Malaysia
I recommend people put this on their list.
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.
