If we could mark one of the unusual places to travel, it'd probably be Singapore for a few reasons. To begin with, let's say that Singapore is a fairly young and rich country,that was incredibly poor and underdeveloped less than the century ago. Singapore is one of those countries that is gradually expanding through the reclamation of territories. The country, like the capital itself, surprises with its ethnic mosaic of Asians, who believed in the future and prosperity of their state, as a result of which the whole world knows what the Singaporean economic miracle is. There are no unearthly beauties and amazing nature that will strike a man's eye on a rampage, but there is a high standard of living, high technology and hopes that the ideal state does exist and its created newly by human beings. Of course, you don't need months to travel around the country, but today we will tell you just about the Top 10 places to visit in the eponymous capital of Singapore.
