There is only one city in Singapore...Singapore. Therefore, the country description and city guide is one and the same.
If I had to use one word to describe Singapore, it would be "tidy." Unlike other countries in Southeast Asia, everything here is well organized and glistening-clean. Although I was disappointed by its serious, consumerist attitudes, this is a country worth stopping over in. It is just one big city, with an easy-to-use metro system. It is a multicultural nation, so you get to experience cuisine from all over Asia. It is also one of the busiest transportation hubs in the world, so flights tend to be cheap from here. Singapore also has the nicest airport I have ever seen, and reportedly has a movie theater, lounges, and other fun amenities.
Budget (2014): Despite what a lot of people told me, Singapore can be traveled relatively cheaply. A budget of $30 per day should be fine, assuming you can book a cheap dormitory online. I stayed in one for roughly $13 per night, so it is feasible. Food is also very inexpensive. If you eat at food courts, meals can be easily had for $3-4. Additionally, Singapore has an affordable metro system, so you should be able to get anywhere in the city for a couple of dollars.
