Questions about Singapore
I am going to Singapore by myself in October for about four days and I was wondering 1) how safe is it for a young woman to travel alone, are there any areas in Singapore I should avoid? 2)where can i find a cheap but nice hostel or hotel in singapore- i haven't had much luck finding places on-line. <BR>It'll be my first trip to SE Asia and I'm terribly excited, but a little wary. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I don't know where you live, but I'd say that Singapore is the safest city I've visited. I always enjoy Singapore as a nice stop on my way in or out of someplace more remote. Singapore is the most expensive place to visit in SE Asia, so there aren't hoards of inexpensive hostels like there are in Thailand.

Singapore is eerily safe. I lived there this summer and am a 33 year old women - was there as a (masters) student from the states interning with Yahoo. 1) Stay at the YMCA on Orchard Rd (not the other one). They have 4 bed dorm styles rooms or I stayed in a nice, regular room. Great location, tons of buses and fab staff (ask for Bino). 2) yahoo.com.sg for other Singapore info. 3) its extremely hot. I found it the most warm of the 8 asia countries, no breeze. 4) I use asia-hotels.com for accommodations in Asia.

These days you can actaully get quite deent accommodation in Singapore for around S$50-80. The YMCAs are actually expensive compared to a large number of smaller almost 'boutique' style hotels. Agree www.asiatravel.com is a good site. The 'Inn' is excellent value at I believe S$80-100. The MRT system is cheap, cheaper than Bangkok's Skytrain.<BR>Singapore is actually more 'liberal' than many would pressume.
