I've heard quite a few people dismissing Singapore for being too modern and overly built up compared to all the other countries in South East Asia. As it's normally rich, middle class white people saying it I've always found it a bit hollow as if they should all be living in mud huts and walking round barefoot.
It is far more commercial tahn anywhere else in that area and there are lots of shopping centres and international chains which is a bit of a shame, but's there's also loads of well preserved old buildings and natural areas.
Although you don't need to stay there all that long I thought it was really interesting to see the contrast between here and other places in the region.
