Q: I love travelling, but I am not the wealthiest person in the world, so I always travel to Asia. Which I love, but I want to go somewhere different next year. I have been to Europe, but way way too expensive for my budget. Any ideas. For instance, Turkey is meant to be quite cheap. What do you think?

A: Okay... this is only because I LOVE it so much... Singapore. I have travelled there (by myself) waaaaay too many times. (Lived there for a time too.) Singapore is safe, clean, friendly - the weather is always great (being on the Equator - more or less). JetStar have cheap flights to Singapore - great flight over; horrendous flight times coming back. And there are so many places to stay; to suit anyone's budget. I love the shopping there; I love the food there; I love the culture there. For around AU$1,500 - you could spend a week in 5-star luxury (including airfares). And providing you're not afraid of trying different cuisines, AU$50 is more than enough for breakfast, lunch, and dinner PLUS a couple of drinks. And the public transport system (especially the MRT) is brilliant. I have wandered the streets of Singapore late at night, by myself, and have never once felt threatened. I'd recommend Singapore as a great holiday destination.
