A bustling city where twenty-four hours seems to flash by your eyes. If you are not quick enough, you might just miss the sights, sounds and flavors of Singapore.

     Singapore is a cocktail of culture where you can find almost anything about Asia. The good, the bad and the ugly.

     Here's my top 10 list (not in any order):

1.  The Esplanade.
It's a place for arts and cultures. The international events organized is not to be missed. One of them is Womad. An international music event featuring acclaimed artist that is held yearly. You'll be treated with high class performances.

2.  China town.
There is a China town in most, if not all, country in the world. Here you will find Chinese artifacts, culture and food. The landscape and buildings reflects its heritage. After a long walk around China town drop-by a Chinese massage parlor to relieve your aching feet and body.

3.  Arab Street.
This is where Middle Eastern and Malay cultures come alive in the streets. If you love Kabab's and other Middle Eastern cuisine, you will find yourself spoilt for choices. The smell of these delicacies will surely make you salivate. Textile shops are predominant in this area. I believe many of them came from a tradition of traders who traveled from the Middle East to trade. Another gem that you can find here are perfume oils. Pure perfume oils which compliments any occasion or event. It's a perfect gift for the love ones.

4.  Little India.
We've walk-through a China town, Arab street and now another Little India, an Indian town, to complete the multi-racial facade that is distinctly Singapore. Painted with spices, the streets are lively in the day and at night. Here you will find the one and only twenty-four hour shopping centre in Singapore. Mustafa Centre is where you can get just about anything under one roof. If you are not tired from your day just drop-by Mustafa Centre or the Indian restaurants around it and indulge yourself in the spices of India.

5.  Fort Canning.
Amidst the busy city lies a hidden fortress. Situated on a hill near the shopping area, here you can have a stroll and enjoy the tranquility that it offers. Fort canning is filled with historical events. It was a military base during WWII. Artifacts dating back to the 14th century have been unearthed and the Fort Gate, remnant of the fortress built in the 1860s, is a reminder of Singapore's colonial past. 

6.  Night Safari.
Singapore's very own safari. It is the world's first wildlife park built for night visits. It offers guest a one of a kind experience of exploring the tropical jungle at night. There are over 1,000 nocturnal animals of 100 species in vast naturalistic habitats.

7.  Sentosa Island.
Situated just off Singapore. It is enveloped by dreamy white sandy beaches and unpolluted sea water. You can unwind on its soft sandy beach or enjoy the atmosphere of the many bars and cafes around the island. If you are feeling adventurous, hike around the island and experience the many attractions that is available on the island such as the brand new Universal Studios. Be prepared for a day fun filled with adventures.

8.  Orchard Road.
Shopping enthusiast strap on the most comfortable shoe you can find. Here you will spend hours shopping for designer goods. Internationally recognized brand names are spread out in the many shopping centres along Orchard road. You can enjoy great bargains on branded items during the Great Singapore Sale which is held yearly during the month of June to July. Almost every items in every corner of every store is on sale. So get you credit cards ready for a one of a kind shopping experience and don't forget to leave some cash for the excess baggage that you will bring back.

9.  Sim Lim Square.
This is the electronic and computer hub in Singapore. You'll find the latest electronic gadgets, computers and computer parts under one roof. If you are a season bargainer then you might just get a good deal but if you are an amateur then be careful not to get cheated.

10. Last but not least, Clarke Quay.
Here the night is forever young. The many varieties of pubs, clubs, bars and cafe will keep you entertained the whole night. Set along the beautiful Singapore river, Clarke Quay comes alive when night falls. With the vibrant lights, entertaining live bands and cuisine that tingles your taste bud, Clarke Quay is great place to unwind and relax or just to catch up with friends.

A multi-cultural and multi-sensory city. Where you can find just about anything to suit your need anytime.
