Before going to Singapore, I only had a rough impression of Singapore, which can be summarized in three words: developed economy, strict laws, and a garden city.
1. The biggest impression is that Singapore is a tropical city! It is so hot that if you wear a gray cotton T-shirt and walk around outside, your armpits will be soaked with sweat to the point of discoloration!! It seems that when I visited Thailand, It's not that hot.
2. Secondly, it turns out that Singapore is not just the cold high-rise buildings and financial and commercial streets that I thought before. It turns out that the architecture here has very distinctive personality, and there are also many old buildings in the old city. In these buildings Hidden delicacies of various ethnic cultures.
3. The melting and collision of multiple cultures. Chinese, Malays, and Indians live together and influence each other in this country whose territory is about one-tenth the size of Shanghai.
4. It turns out that there are so many Chinese in Singapore, and the Chinese account for about 70% of the total population of Singapore. Sometimes you ask for directions and prepare an opening statement in English, but the other person will tell you: "I don't know English." Then you can chat with him in Chinese, and everyone will look at each other and smile.
