Local Color

• Singapore is only 1 22N. It has two seasons: Hot & Humid and Very Hot & Very Humid.
• It has a population of approximately 4.7m but 5.7m cell phones!
• It has the 9th highest GDP per capita at USD 51,500 (2008 est).
• It's a "fine" city with over 40,000 illegal offences, including littering, having still water lying on your property or in your house (though this is prevent the breeding of dengue carrying mosquitoes) and of course, no chewing gum!
• Singapore means "Lion City" in Sanskrit.
• My personal best in Changi Airport is 12 minutes from stepping off the plane and into a taxi. This includes picking up luggage and going through immigration and customs.
