Staying in Singapore

Spent a few quick days in Singapore and found it to be a beautiful, clean and multicultural city. People from all over the world live there so you feel like you are in more of a global community. We arrived and went on the Night Safari in which we took a tram through the night going past different animals, it was very nicely done, a bit Disney-esque even. The next day we went to Sentosa Island, a major site in World War II. We went through the fort there and enjoyed all the other tourist attractions in the area as well. Took a river boat tour through the city and met friends of ours for dinner on the river. Singapore is only an hour from Jakarta and flights are cheap so I am sure we will get back, there were a few things we would like to go back and do.
But a cab ride back to the hotel, shared with an embassy employee from Bejing summed it up for both of us. Singapore is lovely, clean and cosmopolitan, but after a couple of weeks there, I would be bored, it is too much like home. Jakarta, although dirty and crazy and out of control is still interesting to me and I look forward to going back.
