Singapore has traded in its rough-and-ready opium dens and pearl luggers for
towers of concrete and glass, and its steamy rickshaw image for hi-tech
wizardry, but you can still recapture the colonial era with a gin sling
under the languorous ceiling fans at Raffles Hotel. One day you're in a hawker stall melting over a bowl of Indian curry, the
next you're enjoying high tea in whispered environs complete with air-con,
starched linen table cloths and gliding waiters. Super-safe and mega-clean
Singapore may be, but its sultry rhythms wash inexorably beneath the
regimented beat of big-city life.
Singapore is an island of 646 sq. km, about the size of Chicago. It is
located at one of the crossroads of the world. Singapore's strategic
position has helped it grow into a major center for trade, communications,
and tourism. Its geographical location is 96km north of the equator, between
longitude 103 degrees 36' East and 104 degrees 25' East. Singapore is often
touted as a concrete jungle with close to 90% of the population living in
flats and an ever-changing skyline of monumental buildings. Government and
private enterprises also conduct an orchestra of automation that makes
Singapore one of the world's most efficient societies. Yet Singapore has
also been known as a green city. There is a wealth of flora and fauna here
that is beyond our own imagination. |
Two causeway bridges link Malaysia, which is just north of Singapore. The key islands of the Riau Archipelago of Indonesia are also just a quick ferry trip away, whereas Thailand and the Philippines are a short plane journey away. Singapore, with an airport served by more than 69 airlines, is very much the gateway to Southeast Asia
Singapore's climate is warm and humid, with temperatures ranging from 23 degree Celsius to 31 degree Celsius. This makes it ideal for those who enjoy sunbathing, swimming, sailing, and other water sports. For those who do not enjoy the tropical climate, Singapore is sheltered from the worst effects of the sun with air-conditioning in almost all of its buildings, including restaurants. Rain falls throughout the year with more consistent rain during the monsoon season from November to January. Showers are usually sudden and heavy, but brief and refreshing.
