Singapore

Singapore is a big city on an island at the end of the Southeast Asia peninsula. The city is very, very different to other one's in this region (only Kuala Lumpur is similar). Everything is well organised and clean, by metro it's possible to reach every place quickly and all is modern (buildings, shopping centers, etc.)

Inside the city are many different quaters, like Chinatown, Little India, Colonial District, Kampong Glam (muslim), etc. Modern skyscrapers are next to old coloniail buildings.

Hindu and buddhist temples, mosques and churches (St. Andrew's Cathedral) are very close to each other.

One day we spent in the Singapore Zoological Gardens, a nice place with a lot of animals. Finally we could see all this big cats and other animals in real, which we didn't have the chance to spot during our trekking tours in different National Parks!! The Zoo has an open concept, the Orang-utans are free! And apart of the animals is also the forest very nice, jungle! After the zoo visit we went to the Night Safari, another park with animals, but this one is only possible to visit during night time. It's something special to see the animals by night and drive along by tram.
