A small nation host to multifarious cultures and structures, Singapore is an exciting amalgamation of the aesthetic effervescence East and the dynamic modernism of the West. A visual delight for the connoisseur of the jazzy hi-tech world, Singapore has however managed to retain its authentic flavor; Singapore embodies the essence of Asia, a tinge of China, a dab of Malay, a smear of India. It is perhaps the only island in the world where one can find the perfect blend of Oriental and Occidental cultures. This tiny island is home to 4.35 million people, of all races and ethnicities, living cordially and harmoniously.
Singapore is a major tourist destination and in July 2006 alone it has welcomed 9,13,000 visitors from all over the world. Singapore is a peaceful country and enjoys excellent relations with United States, Europe and other countries in Asia.
It is currently hosting the much talked about IMF/World Bank meetings. Singapore is one of the cleanest countries in the world and attracts key foreign investments due to stringent anti-corruption laws, best infrastructure and highly stable business environment. Locals are extremely friendly and helpful. There are plenty of things to see in Singapore and the country continues to develop more theme parks to attract tourists.
