Yes the scenery around it is lovely but as we were talking city I thought the urban side would be paramount to the answer. I find it an ugly, shallow, superficial, environmental nightmare of a place with all the appeal of mouldy cheese. And hugely BORING. To ME.

The whole place felt like a big theme park to me really.

While you would like to think otherwise, its unfortunately true.

Because of its lack of land area and hot and humid climate all year round, the variety and quality of its places of attraction are severely limited. Apart from shopping and the variety of food, there is really nothing distinctive about Singapore. Oh and have i ever mentioned that shopping is relatively expensive here too?

That is why the government makes up for it by recently having the Marina Bay Sands casino and Universal Studios established here.

I'm familiar with Singapore, so I know what I'm talking about. Sure, if you confine yourself to shopping malls you might get that impression, but there is an eclectic range of very interesting places to visit. From Little India, Clarke Quay, Bugis Street, Paya Lebar, Chinatown, around the zoo. Singapore is distinctive, where else is there such a mix of cultures, cuisines.etc?

Where's Indianapolis? I can't believe that city hasn't been mentioned.

Houston is not a boring town and has some of the best food and restaurants in the world

[dunno what to put here]

Everyone says that about their home city but it's usually untrue

...but not much else. Houston is the definition of a boring city.

What are people considering to be a "major city"? Indianapolis has around 2.1 million people in its metropolitan area.

There are 30 cities with that total population or higher in the U.S.
