I'm mostly recovered from the long flights home and wanted to write down a few little things I discovered about Singapore...
First, there are virtually no bugs. How can that be in such a tropical climate? I think I saw three flying insects during the week I was there. They must have been very lonely.
There are absolutely NO electrical outlets in bathrooms because "it's not safe." (So how safe is it going to be when I string an extension cord to the bathroom from another room?)
No matter how many times I read or heard about the food/restaurants, nothing in my head imagined how many there really are and what a variety of food there is.
I know that Singapore has one of the highest population densities in the world, and it DID get crowded at times, but it seems to me that it's a much more organized crowded-ness.
It's a hot climate. I've heard that over and over again. It's hot here, too. Pool water and the water in the Gulf gets very warm. The pool water in every pool I tested over there was COOL and I'm sure it's not up to my minimum required temp of 86 F. ;-)
I'll write down some more thoughts when they come to me but overall I think Singapore is going to be a great place to live for a while!
