    Wikipedia has a better overview of the place.  I’ll just give you my observations in pictures (the rest, as usual, here).

    Chilli crab dinner

    Long-time foreign residents (and good friends) say there's only 3 things to do in Singapore: eat, shop and visit the rest of Southeast Asia. I wouldn't really mind, especially given their awesome weather.

    The place looks absolutely stunning at night.

    En México y en Singapur, la cerveza es... Corona

    In Singapore and the rest of the world you can find Corona

    Raffles Place

    Their Financial district didn't appear to have suffered the recession too much. Furthermore, everywhere is spotless.

    Art Noveau building

    There is very, very interesting architecture.

    4 languages in Singapore

    The place is almost a textbook case study of multiculturalism. Not surprising given that it was forced on them by the government a few generations ago.

    All new casino

    The economy is still going strong.

    Singapore doesn't believe in climate change

    The place seems to be slightly constrained on the political freedoms front, juding by the level of discourse in the country's media.
