In the last year or so, I traveled to Hong Kong and Singapore on a holiday, for about the same amount of time each. Hong Kong was amazing, mind-blowing, while in Singapore I felt like I could have been walking through a suburb of Sydney, except where the beer cost $12 instead of $6. And from what I understand, Hong Kong is richer than Singapore, and not a unpaved road through a rice paddy in sight. I am planning on going back to HK soon, whereas I don't even plan on going back to Singapore.
