Get lost!<br />

The big question will always remain, does size matter?<br />

<strong>Singapore</strong> has managed to prove that even the small can<br />

leave you impressed. Perhaps fuelled by a geographical kind<br />

of Napoleon complex, the little red dot’s attempt to<br />

overcompensate has succeeded in making the city stand out<br />

in the crowd. This overachiever has been looking to outplay<br />

not only its Asian neighbours but the rest of the world, by<br />

having a never-ending slew of ‘biggests’and ‘firsts’. But<br />

it’s time to look past the largest observation wheel and<br />

wander beyond the world’s first night safari, and dig deeper<br />

into what this city is really all about.<br />

It’s fair enough that the graffiti-free walls, manicured<br />

expressways and squeaky clean streets can fool visitors<br />

into thinking they’re not in South-East Asia anymore,<br />

but don’t let the clean and tidy exterior dissuade you<br />

from scratching beneath the surface. At the end of the<br />

day, it’s not the size of the city, it’s about all of the<br />

multicultural, ethnically diverse and rapidly developing<br />

layers that have been packed in for you to explore.<br />

So go, get lost – and find the real <strong>Singapore</strong>.<br />
