So one weekend, I asked one of the Singaporean attendees to take us all out of the city centre and out to the 'suburbs' where Singaporeans actually live and socialize. She was absolutely blown away by the various places we visited, especially the ethnic places - the variety, the colors and the friendliness of the people (almost all speak English), the food, the shopping, the clubs where we hung out until the wee hours - and the complete feeling of safety at all times. There is nothing quite like being in a club being served great food, great drinks, mingling with the locals and listening (& dancing) to a Filipino band playing. She has never ever described Singapore as boring since then.
If you want boring, try Auckland city from a tourist perspective!
