Thinking of /trv/ing to Singapore, can you guys who have been there tell me about the place?

How easy is it to get around? How's the public transport?
What are some nice places to visit?
Are the people nice? Can they speak good English?

Eat. Food is cheap and excellent. Seriously excellent. Hawker centres ftw. Also, SG is useful as a base for travelling around SE Asia.

Fun for a few days.
Then it becomes boring as fuck,
unless you like to spend money in big malls for shitty brands like Louis Vuitton etc.
food is good and definitely a plus; if you enjoy cuisine, stay a bit longer perhaps.
furthermore, it's clean (really, really clean) but also quite the nazi regime when it comes to certain "rules" (not a bad thing per se), like chewing gum, smoking, drugs, etc. but you're probably fine anyways

Get an EZ-Link card. You can use it to pay for all buses and MRT (train) fares and can even be used in some taxis. Buses and the MRT can get you almost anywhere.

They're generally nice people and most can speak English.

Jurong Bird Park, the aquarium, hit some food centers a.k.a. hawker's stands.

Singapore is small, crowded, and fascist, but very clean.

If you say anything negative about the political situation, expect to be deported and possibly sued. I'm not joking. A friend was working there, went out and got drunk with his coworkers one night, and apparently did not agree that Lee Kuan Yew was the best of all possible dictators. (It's not clear how vehemently he stated this, but his memory was that he was pretty mild about it.) He was deported by the end of the week and permanently prohibited from returning.
