Singapore is absolutely one of the cleanest cities in the world. You could actually eat off the side walk.

After the following photo scroll down to the next paragraph. Tried to crop.

The city itself is so modern, but yet some of the old type mode of transportation was still going – the Trishaw which is a combination of richshaw and tricycle. Robbie is right behind me.

Scroll down to the next paragraph.

When we were approaching the landing strip the stewardess inquired over the intercom – if you have any chewing gum with you – you must put it away and DO NOT USE IT DURING YOUR VISIT IN SINGAPORE – it is against the law to chew gum and you will be arrested.

Is Chewing Gum Against the Law in Singapore …

Chewing Gum. One of the most highly talked about laws in Singapore, is the “Chewing Gum Law”. In 1992, after years of vandalism in elevators, mailboxes, and on sidewalks, the government of Singapore decreed all gum illegal to stem the amount of sticky stuff on elevator buttons and on stair railings.

The city is so pristine with foliage and flowers,especially, hybrid orchids.

A must is a tour of the Raffles Hotel – Raffles Hotel.

Feel welcome to their elegant and luxurious hotel where they will make your stay an unforgettable experience (especially your wallet).
