For many people Singapore is just a transfer point after a 12-hour flight to Australia. It is situated at the south side of Malaya, just is 140 km north of the equator. It has tropical climate with an average temperature of 27°С and humidity of about 85%. In Singapore it is raining all the year round, so you may face two or three showers a day. But despite all this, Singapore is more, far more than a transfer point! It is a very modern, lively and picturesque city-state. It has so many places of interest, that a week won't be enough to visit all of them.
