The suburbs look like a giant lego town and the city is basically one massive shopping mall.
I have been there about 4 times now but to be honest never for longer than one day.
It's just that it's so...so..so...clean! It feels like Disneyland rather than a city. I feel no soul there, it's as if the plastic wrap has just been taken off.
I spent 11 hours there on my way home. I wandered around the Orchard Rd area watching the general public overloaded with shopping bags for several hours, tormented shopkeepers by window shopping but not going inside. Then finally went to the movies to kill a couple of hours. ("Blindness" - don't rush, it makes you wish you were)
It doesn't help the place that it is usually the last stopover before getting home, which doesn't really help enamour the city to one.
However, their train system makes Sydney's look like Kazakh State Rail.
