Singapore is an interesting place.  It's one of the smallest countries in the world due to the fact that it is only a city.  There is no such thing as rural Singapore, unless that's what you want to call it's parklands.  It's just south of peninsular Malaysia, so it's a usual spot for tourists to visit.

Our good friend Tay / Ivan / Hock Keong who we met at a bible study group back in Canada where he was studying at the University of Saskatchewan is a native Singaporean, so in him we had an excellent tour guide!
