Singapore has 5 mill. inhabitants, of which 1,3 mill are foreigners. Of the 3,7 mill local people 77% are Chinese. Their political system seems like an enlightened one man (family) rule system, even if they call it democracy.
Singapore has become a very modern city, but it is hard to find an overall city-plan. They have put a little bit of everything all over the place. One of the most used crossroads – Orchard road x Paterson road – has been provided with underpasses, and if you go down there, it feels like you have entered a 5 storey shopping center and it seems like the underpass just disappeared in a confusing labyrinth.
