What is Singapore? Is the modern, booming American-like business city, beside Hong Kong and Tôkyô just the financial center and "shopping Mecca" of Asia? Or is it a Southeast Asian city? Actually, it's both. Precision and perfection, glamour and glitter, skyscrapers and the modern Orchard Road belong to Singapore just as the ethnic quarters of Chinatown, Little India and Arab Quarter. If you dare to take a look behind the scenes, you gonna discover a mosaic of tradition and modernity, of Western and Far Eastern elements. Singapore - a fascinating phenomenon full of contradictions, that aren't contradictorily at all in the Asian way of thinking.
