The city/state of Singapore
This target is linked to a travel business that in recent years led me to know the city state like Singapore and other locations just east of particular interest from the point of view as Shanghai in China, Taipei in Taiwan and Korea in Taegu South
Singapore (along with Shanghai) among all these is the destination that probably struck me most and impressed. Landed in mid-November in his hyper futuristic airport, I was greeted by a real botanical garden of orchids, which invaded the corridors, nearly a man lying on the ground with so much elbow grease off every stain on the carpet where we were walking (imagine the go via a earoporto come carpeting and floor !!!). Released outdoor air ..... but what !!!!! In mid-November, the humidity was sky high and the barometer marked 92%: crazy. The following days have elapsed for the visit of a fair but went out at 3 / 4 in the afternoon, I was devoted to sightseeing. Backpackers on the streets, I inbattuto in a series of circumstances truly outside world. I state that Singapore is, or rather was, the world capital of finance with a per capita income is very high. The services for the population esigiente are really high level but some of these .... have the maniacal. One of them (laugh that we had put a bit to understand what that gentleman did) is a "municipal employee", which fitted with spray insecticide plant was going to plant elimeinando all the ants! The skyline that rises over the bay is the most modern and you can imagine, as far as the historical monuments and public, almost everything is intitolatoa Sir. Stamford Raffles considered the true author of the fortunes of this city.
The heat and humidity were oppressive but really, given the population of 7 million inhabitants, I had expected more people around. The response was "are all under the earth", because in order to escape the heat there was a pedestrian underground network linked to the subway, which connects the main places of the city.
For me, Singapore is meant to live for a few days in the city of the future and has allowed me to have the first contacts with different cultures in the same city, for the first time I had to do with the smells of the Chinese market in Chinatown and entered into a Hindu temple in Little India.
DO NOT MISS: the spectacular Underwater World on Sentosa, probably the biggest "aquarium" in the world and the garden of orchids.
