Singapore
This place is unreal! Everywhere is immaculate, all neat, tidy and well groomed. There's no litter, no heaps of rubbish by the side of the bins, no old cars dumped by the edge of the road and not a sign of any abandoned dogs running around. The whole place is groomed to perfection and even though we were on a shuttle bus to the hotel it felt like a ride through the park because everywhere is landscaped, turfed where possible and the road is lined with trees.
Ok it's a little bit different now we are in the city centre, still beautifully presented but less greenery and obviously well built up but on saying that every available piece of ground is planted in some way. The buildings are so tall you have to strain your neck to see the tops and the shapes are incredible. It's exactly what you see on the TV but bigger, I feel like someone has picked me up and deposited me in the middle of a picture postcard.
Decided to have a drink whilst we were waiting for our room at the hotel - 1 large beer and 1 fresh orange juice = $24 (approx £12) Thought it might be hotel prices but appears not and we were told that the high price was because it was imported. We certainly wont be getting drunk here and we're not even looking at a wine list!!
