Singapore

Both Colin and I loved Singapore. We'd heard about it being clean and modern and all, but had no idea as to just how clean and modern! Singapore became an independent country very recently - mid-60's and has since gone through an amazing boom. The infrastructure and architecture beat many, if not all American cities, in my opinion. And to think about where the country started from just a few decades ago (and compare it to other places on the Malay Peninsula) is even more mind boggling.

We were in Singapore for a few days and it didn't stop raining, but we had a wonderful time regardless.
