I have been in Singapore for last 3 weeks and here some of my observations about this city:
1. City is very clean and amazing the way it is maintained considering the population density here.
2. The public transport system works like dream. Most of the buses have 15 minutes frequency and there are mobile applications that provide decently accurate status of buses.
3. In spite of so many people around it is still not noisy because people hardly talk to others in trains or buses.
4. There are places to eat everywhere around (less vegetarian options)
5. Government offices rival corporate offices in terms of infrastructure and operations.
6. There is lot of greenery around even though there is huge space crunch in the city.
7. For Singaporeans, any commute more than 30 minutes is far.
8. There are community sports complexes that offer activities like basketball, badminton, table tennis etc and the courts can be booked on hourly basis. Needless to say this system also works effectively. You find people playing even till 11 PM. I have played more badminton and cricket under lights in these 3 weeks than ever.
9. Rents are super expensive and are tough to find with lot of demand.
10. Traffic gets heavier during morning and evening times but rules are followed and hardly anybody honks.
