in singapore, according to lonely planet, there are about 4,000,000 people living on the 638-sq km surface of the country. (by the way, if you happen to visit lonely planet's website, go to 'explore asia' page. once you roll the cursor over a country's name, it is highlighted blue on the map. try rolling over singapore, the blue colour does not appear on the map. that is how small the country is compared to its neighbors.) with a few city centers to accomodate the number of inhabitants, the result is you almost have to queue for everywhere you go and everything you do. queuing is a practice of everyday life here. get your personal entertainment devices ready if you need to go in town during peak hours!
