This is the Future
Did you think Germany is a highly developed and sophisticated country?

Compared with Singapore we are sort of Cavemen.

For example:
you all know these new gigantic lcd-monitors used for concerts and footballmatches in stadiums?

Imagine there are several of these all over the city showing ads and teasers to the people who are shopping, on their way to work and so on.
I don´t talk about two or three, I´m talking about one every houndred meter (specially on Orchard Road, the high-end shopping and hotel quarter).

You have the up to date cellphone?
Throw it away, people there have the newest...

I mean almost everything there is high tech, even the MRT (Mass Rapid Transport, their Underground) is the most modern all over the world and it´s amazing!

Oh You´re looking for nature?
Something what´s not manmade?

Go to Malaysia or Indonesia...

Even the beaches on Sentosa Island are manmade, Parks are similar to nature and beautifully handshaped.

I don´t say anything negative about all that!
It´s really amazing There and you should go there for a few days to experiece this beautiful city.
It´s about twice as big as Munich but there are living about 4.5 mio people (1.3 mio in Munich), so it´s very crowded.

There you can have cultural shocks several times a day:

Our hotel was quite near the centre, directly next to Orchard Rd with all the super modern Shopping MAlls where you can buy everything, where it´s loud and crowded like in New York.





Take a cab and go to Chinatown, it doesn´t take more than 10 minutes and costs about 2,50 €.
Suddenly there are no more skyscrapers but little houses, tiny roads, small chineese shops, markets and restaurants with tasty and original chineese food which is very tasty. Try the Chilie Crab!













Then take a cab and go to Little India.
3 MRT stations away from Chinatown.

Arrived there you really are in India!
Indian styled and painted houses, indian shops and markets, indian restaurans where more people eat with their fingers than with chopsticks or cutlery. This is easy to learn and when you once tried a fishhead curry, you dont want to eat european food any longer.



Then go to Sentosa ´s beaches, or to the Botanical Garden.







The whole world in one city - fantastic!

Also people over there are very nice!
In my opinion, they are more friendly than german people.

I found some new friends and i wanna visit them again.
I went to a Halloween Party with them in a stylish club and we had much fun.

- Big City Nights -
