It's nice when things just work

Singapore was such a contrast to Indonesia, we were in culture shock. For the first day I was marvelling at the presence of:
- Sidewalks
- Pedestrian crossings
- Traffic lights
- Barriers separating people from holes you can fall into

The second day I was marvelling at:
- Efficient metro system (why can't we have one like that in Melbourne?)
- Amazing customer service
- Restaurant quality foodcourts (instead of the other way around in Indonesia)

The third day it was getting a bit too expensive, so we left for KL.

My take on Singapore is that it's a very livable city of you can take hot and sticky weather all the time. It's somewhat sanitised... you feel like if anything broke or went wrong it would be rectified within the hour. I mean, how can a city not have a single run-down looking building? And there are signs regarding "gracious behavior" and trains and other public spaces everywhere. I found them funny, but I must say I enjoyed the results :)
