Singapore's history in a few lines:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

Origins:<\/strong><\/h3>

Singapore was a small trading port known as Temasek in the 14th century, part of shipping routes between China and India.<\/p>

Modern Foundation:<\/strong><\/h3>

In 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles established a British port, turning Singapore into a strategic center for international trade.<\/p>

Colonial era:<\/strong><\/h3>

Under British rule, it developed into one of the most important ports in Asia.<\/p>

20th Century:<\/strong><\/h3>

Occupied by Japan during World War II (1942-1945). After the war, it returned to British hands and in 1965 became independent, separating from Malaysia.<\/p>

Present:<\/strong><\/h3>

Today it is a prosperous city-state, a leader in finance, technology and transportation, famous for its cleanliness, safety and cultural mix.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It's a very new city, barely 60 years old, so everything looks very clean and new. The people are friendly, everyone speaks English, and you can get around everywhere by public transport (we used the subway a lot).<\/p>

The city is full of juice machines, and the orange juice is delicious and very refreshing in this heat and humidity. The soft drinks they make at various establishments are also highly recommended; you can add sugar to your liking.<\/p>

A large ice cream cone costs $1 and you can pay by card, very tasty.<\/p>

The pedestrian traffic lights are a real nightmare; they take forever to turn on, then they're only on for a very short time, and cars don't even give you a few seconds of courtesy. When it reaches 0, they accelerate like there's no tomorrow, regardless of whether you're crossing or not.<\/p>

The hotel has no reception; online check-in is the only way to arrive and that's it. The room had no window. There are three entrances; we were put in building C. Our room had the bed against the wall, which was a bit awkward when going to the bathroom. The kitchen had everything we needed except a ceramic hob. There was air conditioning. They don't give you a key; everything works with an app, and without Wi-Fi, you're lost. However, they send you an email before your arrival that you need to read and follow the instructions. In building A, there's a tablet with direct communication to the staff if you have any problems. They'll resolve them quickly if you manage to get into the building. There are washing machines and dryers for shared use in the hallway of this building, free of charge.<\/p>

Street food markets are highly recommended; most accept card payments as they are commercial establishments. There are a few other places where payment must be made in cash.<\/p>

The Marina Bay area, where the huge lake with the famous hotel in the background and the Lion Fountain is located, is a very lively area; in fact, when we went there were live performances.<\/p>
