Singapore is a country that is 1/3 the size of Benton county (where I grew up) and has a population of 5 million people. (Benton county has 26,000 people... and, again, Benton county is 3x the size of Singapore.)
So coming to a country that is smaller than the Benton Community school district was a little mind blowing.
However, for such a small country they have really learned how to get around.
What I loved most about Singapore was the train system. The trains went everywhere and there was a stop every couple of blocks. They had routes going north-south, east-west, southeast-northwest and even a circle line around the downtown area. It is so amazingly simple to get around I am still shaking my head at the simplicity. There is no reason to own a car in this city. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
