It’s hard not to love Singapore.  Even the most world-weary travelers perk up when they realize that they’ve just set foot in one of the most unique and lively places in the world.  The island city-state is a conglomeration of cultures, ideas, and attitudes, and they come together in interesting ways.  It also has a fascinating and rather complex history, that speaks of a major trading port that has seen a lot of the events and peoples of the world.  Today, it’s still a very active port town, and you can get most anything here.

This is very true for seafood, of course, and lots of other fresh ingredients, and that makes it a great place for a good Japanese restaurant.  There are lots of opportunities to try fantastic food, and the Japanese influence on local food here is very strong, and it’s a wonderful way to get into the rhythm of the city.  If you’re coming in the spring, you may want to time your trip with the Richard Poon concert.

This singer from the Phillipines is a Chinese crooner who has wowed audiences all over the world.  His father is a restaurant owner, and his mother is a big singer in Taiwan.  He’s been impressing people with his ability to make very sweet sounds in the tradition of the classic singers like Sinatra and Martin
