My recommendations are always carry an umbrella, get a Tote a Luxe Guide, visit the Night Safari and to stay at The Scarlet: excellent location and contemporary decor at a value.

Also, eat at the food stalls and buy a Makansutra if you can find it, or read the Calvin Trillin article in the New Yorker to determine which food stalls to visit.

If you're flying in and out of Changi, and just staying overnight, stay at the Changi Village Hotel. Check out the shops on 33 Erskine Road. Treat yourself to a foot massage in Chinatown.

It's an atmospheric podcast that lasts an hour and a half and covers all the colonial centre of Singapore. Lots of characters and music and growling lions etc. There's a ghost, a Malay king, an Indian convict and Lee Kuan Yew himself!! Actually, I bet this is the only dramatic representation of Lee Kuan Yew ever performed, let's see if it gets banned!
