Honest review after 17 days — mostly great, a few gripes

Visited Singapore for 17 days. The positives are real: Gardens by the Bay is every bit as impressive as advertised, and the food scene around Chinatown is genuinely excellent — try laksa if you haven't. fascinating blend of cultures was an unexpected bonus.

That said, very expensive for accommodation and alcohol. It's not a dealbreaker but worth knowing before you go. I'd still recommend Singapore to most travellers — just manage your expectations on those specific points and you'll have a great time.
