Singapore

Is by far the cleanest city we have ever been to and I think actually the cleanest city in the world. Everything in that city is beautiful and kept so neat and tidy. The weird thing though, is that you never see anyone out cleaning. The road from the airport to the city is lined with these old beautiful trees and all the flowers and grass is perfectly manicured. It's definitely not as nice as the Deerfoot in Calgary, but a close second. HA HA.

Singapore is like Pleasantville. We learnt that the locals aren't rule breakers. If they are told not to do something they won't do it. No one  litters, J-walks, spits etc etc. Huge fines are given to those who break the rules, so I think it keeps people in line, but it works because the city is perfect.  They are also all about proper queues - no one cuts in front or pushes. It's pretty cool.

We went to Singapore to visit our friends that moved there earlier this year from Calgary. We weren't really sure what to expect because everyone had always just told us that it was nice and VERY clean. But we thought it was a great city and had a blast - I know it was probably better because we were there to see friends. We would have never have gone to Singapore otherwise, so I'm glad we got to see it while they were there. I was sad to say good bye to them and wished we had another couple of days to spend with them. They took us to some of their favourite spots to eat and drink and gave us a great tour of the city. It was nice to be shown around by a "local" and see some things we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Definitely a great vibe there and would love to go back for another visit while they are still there.
