The Lion City must be one of the most user-friendly destinations on earth and, while I know the island nation isn't completely crime free, there is a very good chance the average traveller will have a no problems while in town.
When I'm doing solo trips I try to be back at my hotel not long after the sun disappears, but here I am happy to stay out and enjoy the balmy Singapore evenings.
Tonight I took a ride on the Singapore Flyer just before dark - it's similar to the one they have in London, providing surprisingly entertaining vistas during the 30-minute ride - and then had dinner at The Hawker Trail in the building below this popular tourist attraction.
Hawker food is popular in Singapore, with many people eating three meals a day in market food courts, and the folks from the Singapore Flyer set up a tourist-friendly complex right below the big wheel.
Cooks, who have lost their spot in other neighbourhood as gentrification happened and they could no longer afford to pay rent, have been brought to The Hawker Trail to cook the culinary delights that have been in each family for generations.
Each stall holder specialists in one dish or cuisine, using recipes that have been in the family for decades, and the name of the street where they originally worked is listed on the sign above their cart.
While the food is magnificent, it is also a little sad to learn that theses unique dishes will soon be extinct with a family's next generation not interested in carrying on the clan's business and the older cooks not willing to share the prized recipe with outsiders.
After dinner I walked across the Helix Bridge to the new Marina Bay Sands development - I'm sure you know it, it's the three towers linked by a long surfboard-shaped deck at the 56th level which provides a platform for one of the world's best infinity swimming pools - to catch a bumboat to Clarke Quay.
It had been raining all afternoon, and the thunder clouds provide an ethereal backdrop for the city skyscrapers.
