Seriously? Singapore is hot and humid every day of the year. We called it the 90/90 island because it was always at least 90 degrees with 90 percent humidity.

I was just at Sentosa tonight...and I was on Sunday night as well.

They have beach bars (with swimming pools and beer and drinks and such)...all over the place. A lot of fun.

Actually Singapore is fun in general, it's just expensive.

My only bad experience were those horrible Indian and/or Pakistani men on every street corner pestering people to buy clothes.
I am originally from Pakistan lol

There are lot of Indians in Singapore also.

Growing up in California which is known to the world's best climate for all 4 seasons. Hot and humid is the last place I want to retire in.

Well, I had been there on Vacation in 1987. I don't like the hot and humid weather though.

I'm not saying all Indians and Pakistanis are horrible. The ones In HK that pounce on tourists and try to either get them inside their shop or buy clothes are. I would see them while walking down the street and cross so as to avoid them. They would cross also and come up to me and start their sales pitch. Trying to ignore and avoid eye contact with them was useless. I noticed they left the Asians alone and concentrated on westerners.
Anyway, it was the only low point in my visit to HK. The rest was fabulous.
