Tokyo and Singapore are very different from each other. First off, the weather. The average temperature in Singapore is 80 something degrees each day. But in Tokyo it is a lot colder, and it snows during the winter months. Most people in Singapore speak English, but it Tokyo, very few people speak English.
We use transportation on buses and taxies a lot more in Singapore than we did in Japan. In addition to English, Singaporeans speak Chinese. Of course that is different than Japan, where the common language is Japanese.
We live on the 16th floor of a huge apartment complex in Singapore. In Japan, we were on the second floor.
There is a lot more wildlife here in Singapore than in Japan. All we saw there were pigeons. Here there are water monitors, snakes, turtles, very large fish, and many dogs.
The dollar is worth a more here. Singaporean bills look different than American bills do, but they still call their money dollars and cents.
