Singapore

Captivating and culturally rich, Singapore is a location worth having on your bucket list any time, but would make for a particularly special holiday in 2015 as the country celebrates 50 years of independence with a year-long cultural celebration featuring events such as the Southeast Asian Games. the Republic of Singapore, is a modern city-state and island country in Southeast Asia. It lies off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula and is 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. The country's territory consists of the diamond-shaped main island, commonly referred to as Singapore Island in English and Pulau Ujong in Malay, and more than 60 significantly smaller islets; land reclamation has been used to expand Singapore's land area, which is highly urbanised. Singapore is separated from Peninsular Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to the north, and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to the south.
