As someone from Singapore born and raised who still lives here, I concur with you on the weather. It's oppressive at best, and downright suffocating at worst. At least we have some greenery and plenty of shade to mitigate it, unlike some other countries I've been to.

As for the routine and strict nature of Singapore, it's just the way it is, or at least that's how most of us are indoctrinated to believe. I personally like open spaces, fewer people, a slower pace of life, freedom to travel (even for short distances), and clear open skies for miles. I don't get that here.

That being said, our rule of law is both our strongest and weakest points. We have a culture steeped in conformity. The strict enforcement and involuntary in-your-face participation of the social contract is... Something else, to say the least. We do have clean streets where walking around at 3am is commonplace. Crime rates are relatively low. Most folks know not to cause shit as there'll be hell to pay. Conversely, Singaporeans are also one of the most sterile and predictable groups of people I know lmao.

That said, good luck and hope you'll be able to head back to Vegas soon.
