The National Museum of Singapore is a great place to learn about Singapore's history. It is the oldest museum in Singapore but all the galleries have a unique modern flare, which I loved.

I highly recommend their current exhibition Singapura: 700 Years. It commemorates Singapore's 50 years of independence and is the perfect way to learn how Singapore grew from a small village to the financial capital that it is now.

Everything was good, hospitality and breakfast was great but if you are coming from North America, just know the room is real small and the bathroom may suffocate you. I could barely fit myself in the shower and I am not even a big person.
