Manicured landscape, clean streets, not a piece of trash in sight, humidity... no, you're not at Disneyworld, but you might as well be... it's the most sterile city in the world, Singapore. Cliches aside, it's another cool place you can go and try out your Mandarin skills. Listen to this podcast, and get practicing-la. Or just go to Disneyworld... there's Chinese people there too--they love Minnie.
