Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
I live in a fairly quiet neighborhood next to Singapore River. There are numerous restaurants in the area and Orchard Road is within walking distance. I enjoy walking along the river in the morning. There is a promenade along the river all the way past the Parliament to Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.
Singapore is clean and crime free. It is safe to go anywhere.
Cars are not necessary as taxis are cheap and plentiful. Public transport is probably the best in the world.
