Although people find this level of spotlessness in a town as somewhat artificial and imposed, it still is satisfying to see people exhibiting civic sense when it comes to cleanness.
2. Changi Airport has won several awards as one of the most beautiful airports in the world. Therefore the minute you set foot in Singapore, you are filled with awe and happiness.
