I know I'm swimming against the tide ..... but what's new!
If you are a foody .... you may be interested in some background to Singapore
street food and other hawker food which to me represents a decent enough reason to travle to Singapore - and you may also be interested in a discussion a while back
By the way ... Singapore is NOT just a stopover .... . I adore Singapore and now spend around 3 or 4 separate weeks per year there. It's just an antidote to the UK particularly during the worst of winter.
