Yes, you certainly may ask!
I lived there from 1975 to 1978 as a missionary kid.
I have been back four times since then (doing church work). It is one of my favorite places on the earth, and I've been to most every place on this earth for comparison! I just wish it wasn't as far away from Houston, Texas as a place could be located on this planet.
But I'd never move there to reside. My parents did it again in the late 80's and it was simply too expensive, too crowded and too friggin' hot and humid of a place for me to live when I visited them.
My memories of Singapore are wonderful... but I always forget it's located too close to the equator when I step off the plane into that outrageous humidity. It's actually worse than Houston.
You know, one would think that with the incredible taxes on cars, there wouldn't be that many and the cars on the road wouldn't be fancy, but one can easily count dozens and dozens of BMW's, Mercedes and even Rolls Royces in the business district in a matter of seconds.
Singapore is one of the wealthiest nations on the face of the earth, and their sole natural resource is their people. They're a brilliant nation too... I have never met a dim-witted Singaporean. Every single person I came across on the street spoke at least two languages fluently and most have a university education. I just wish the place was a little cooler, located closer to Houston, Texas and not so enthusiastic about taxing their people the way they do. It keeps the country from attaining all it could if you ask me.
