First Impressions of Singapore

On my way to Sri Lanka I had a forced stop over in Singapore.I was only in Singapore for a day but from what I saw during my short stay, I absolutely loved the city and could easily imagine myself living there. Known as the Garden City, Singapore is green and lush and there are many parks and green spaces, despite its large population (4.5 million) and well developed infrastructure. The architecture is diverse and interesting with many modern buildings including the tallest skyscrapers in Asia. Singapore is likely the cleanest city I have ever seen or likely will ever see. I only saw two pieces of garbage on the street the entire time I was there and one had just dropped from the hand of a teenager. In some places sidewalks have been tiled and are washed daily.
