An island, city, state, and country all rolled up in one.. A picture-perfect, tropical business center known for their crazy laws and penalties.. As long as you’re not importing chewing gum and forgetting to flush public toilets (fines of up to $5000 and jail time), or smuggling drugs (death penalty), you should have a great time here.. With a population dominated by the Chinese, Indians, Indonesians, and Malays, Singapore is amazing cultural melting pot, and you know what that means: AWESOME FOOD!
