Singapore City - Singapore

SINGAPORE

Singapore is an island city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator, south of the Malaysian state of Johor and north of Indonesia's Riau Islands. It is made up of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and many Western foreigners. The official Language is English and it quite an expensive city. Everywhere you look there are shopping centers. We only had two days here, so we spent the first one walking around and taking lots of pictures of the fascinating architecture, and the second one at the Singapore Zoo!

Singapur es una isla y ciudad-estado situada al sur del estado de Johor en la Península de Malasia y al norte de las islas Riau de Indonesia, separadas de éstas por un estrecho. Es el país más pequeño y uno de los mas caros del Sudeste de Asia.

The Ion shopping center located on the famous Orchard Road.
