On arrival, visitors are quickly exposed to Singapore’s ultra-clean and efficient atmosphere. The whole place seems brand new, sparkling windows and squeaky-clean surfaces at every turn. This is due in main to the enormous building scheme that has taken place. Vast swathes of Singapore’s older areas have been demolished and gleaming high-rises now dominate the skyline. But if you think that Singapore is simply all concrete monoliths and enormous shopping centres then you would be making a mistake and missing out on some of the most exciting sights the country has to offer. For amongst the towers and recent architecture there exists another side to Singapore. Narrow alleyways and incest-filled Temples are at stark contrast to the more sanitised modern areas. There are the culturally diverse areas of Chinatown, Little India and Arab Street; all steeped in their individual inhabitants’ histories and cultures. These are places awash with their own colours, charms, sights and smells. No visit to Singapore would be complete without experiencing these places.
