Singapore
We visited Singapore during a two-day stopover on our 6-week trip to New Zealand and Fiji in December 2004. Even though it does not have Hongkong's setting or Shanghai's rich architectural heritage, it is very easy to visit (Singapore Airline's stopover packages are a great deal) and definitely worthwile to do so.

Dunlop Street, Little India
File size 98 kB. Choose JPEG or Java
Viewer. Dunlop Street was orginally a sparsely populated area outside
Singapore with European bungalows. The area was built over
in the 1920-1930s with Singapore's (previously) typical shopfront houses.
Today it is part of what is being marketed as Little India (if you look
around you
know
why),
a charming
neighborhood for a sightseeing stroll.
