I’ll be the first to admit, before moving to live in Singapore<\/a>, I can’t say I knew much about this tiny country.<\/p>\n

I had a friend living there who gave me a quick low-down on what areas to look for apartments in and told me how safe it all was…etc but that was about it.<\/p>\n

I moved to Singapore to undertake research as part of my University work at Cambridge<\/a> that I was so distracted by that part of it and didn’t focus as much as I should have done on the city itself.<\/p>\n

I don’t even think I found my feet properly in Singapore until a couple of days in though that was probably the end of term time exam stress, an assignment deadline in 48 hours from when I arrived in Singapore, all mixed with some serious jetlag!<\/p>\n

Once my assignment was in and I got the chance to step outside to explore the city properly, it’s safe to say I fell in love with the city straight away.<\/p>\n

Singapore will do that to ya.<\/p>\n

There’s so much on offer here and living here for almost half a year only served to further re-enforce that.<\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/p>\n

Without further ado – here are (at least) 10 reasons why you need to visit Singapore.<\/p>\n

1.) The food<\/strong>
\n\"Hungry<\/a><\/h3>\n

There’s so much variety on offer here<\/a> and you’ll struggle to get bored with the amazing delicious choices available across Singapore.<\/p>\n

It’s also quite cheap so there’s that too!<\/p>\n

2.) The nightlife is amazing<\/strong>
\n\"Take<\/a><\/h3>\n

Seriously, we’re talking about starting your night with cocktails right at the top of the world’s tallest infinity pool<\/a>, heading over to bars with stunning city views<\/a> and then choosing from a whole variety of clubs or night time shows.<\/p>\n

3.) The city is very VERY green!<\/strong>
\n\"12<\/a><\/h3>\n

Despite its shining skyscrapers, Singapore is actually quite a green city.<\/p>\n

Heading over to places like the MacRitchie Nature Trail<\/a> or even places like the Flower dome<\/a> depict a little taste of how green this amazing city is.<\/p>\n

4.) Singapore actually has some pretty good beaches<\/strong>

Case in point – Lazarus Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5.) There’s a more rustic part of Singapore, Ubin Island<\/strong>
\n\"Going<\/a><\/h3>\n

Here the pig roam wild<\/a>, the monkeys swing from tree to tree and you can only get around on foot or via a bike which you can rent for the day.<\/p>\n

6.) The shopping! There’s nothing you can’t find in Singapore<\/strong>
\n\"Orchard<\/a><\/h3>\n

Now, I’m not much of a shopper but even for non-shopper like me, there are those times when you’ve finally decided to get yourself new lens for your camera or perhaps even new swim-shorts because your post-Christmas dieting plan didn’t quite play out like planned.<\/p>\n

Point is, you’re bound to find anything you need<\/a> to buy quite easily in Singapore.<\/p>\n

7.) Singapore is an amazing hub for you to explore Asia<\/strong>

This is more for long-term travel but Singapore is a great place to be located to connect to other Asian destinations, like Ho Chi Minh<\/a> or Bali<\/a> and see more of that part of the world.<\/p>\n

The connections at the airport are great and it’s so easy to get to!<\/p>\n

8.) Public transport is pretty good here<\/strong>
\n\"First<\/a><\/h3>\n

Plus the taxis are also so cheap so really, the choice is entirely yours here.<\/p>\n

9.) There’s Universal Studios here and it’s amazing!<\/strong>

I can’t even pretend – I got myself a 6-months pass<\/a> when I lived here and went almost every free weekend.<\/p>\n

10.) Singapore is safe<\/strong>
\n\"12<\/a><\/h3>\n

You could walk home on your own at 3 am in the morning and you’d be perfectly fine.<\/p>\n

In fact, in all my time there, I don’t think I ever saw the Police once! And the police station was right next to my nearest train station.<\/p>\n

And here are a few more reasons why you’d probably want to visit Singapore…<\/p>\n
