I landed in Singapore last night, and as I was expecting it is much different and more first world than the rest of SE Asia. I actually planned it in the middle of my trip for that exact reason--if I needed a break I could have it, and then continue on my journey refreshed from the A/C in every building and coffee shops on every corner. So far I've explored Little India (where my hostel is), and found out they are having a food festival, so I couldn't be happier.
I also went to the National Museum of Singapore and, after only getting 1/4 of the way through one of the exhibits in an hour, will be going back after my lunch break here to continue learning about Singapore's interesting history. I'll be here until the 4th, and plan on seeing the Night Zoo along with some other historical landmarks. I'll go to Orchard Road, the shopping capital, but will do more looking than buying. Overall I just have enjoyed walking around and taking in the different flavors and languages of this bustling city. I can say for sure that if I had to move anywhere in SE Asia, this wouldn't be a difficult adjustment to make.
