Singapore is expensive by Southeast Asian standards with everything costing about double what it does elsewhere in the region.

While most people come here for a couple of days just to “do” Singapore and check it off their bucket list, over the past few years, the city has shed some of its stuffy nature and become a much more fun and cosmoplitian city.

There’s a growing cocktail and foodie scene here. Lots of activities are popping up too.

Singapore is one of my favorite cities in the world and a destination I love looking forward to so I can all the hawker food, Indian food, delicious seafood, and wander the lovely hiking trails in the north and sit on the beaches in the south.

Singapore rocks – and deserves more time than you plan on giving it.
