Singapore is a small city-state in Southeast Asia. It is a lovely place to
visit. The attractions are quite close to each other, so travelling between
them is convenient. The food here is varied- all kinds of Asian food. The
outdoor food markets are fun and affordable. You order your food, and it
is cooked right before you. Then you go and eat it at a table outside. It's
a great way to meet people. But what I like most about Singapore is that
it is multicultural- Chinese, Malay, Indian, European, and Vietnamese.
For me, that's the best thing about Singapore.
