Singapore Island was once a safe haven for hundreds of
pirate boats that preyed on passing ships, it was inhabited by traders, fisherman
and robbers, I think I would have preferred it back then compared to the
commerce driven city that it has become today. It’s undoubtedly an amazing place….
it’s neat, clean and organised and if you scratch a little under the surface
you’ll find some interesting places. I spent a just under a week here and that
was long enough, perhaps if I was a keen shopper I would have enjoyed it more
but for me this island metropolis lacked some soul. Thankfully I was fortunate
to have met a number of very nice locals during my stay and had some great
company at many of the quality restaurant and bar areas that the city has to
offer. “Sanitary” is the best word I could use to describe Singapore but I think
a city is a little like a woman… better if they’re a little bit dirty, full of
character and have plenty of attitude.
