Singapore

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.

Singapore skyline at night — 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.
