Singapore is the perfect gateway to Asia for a Cameroonian passport: no visa, one of the safest and cleanest cities in the world, and a concentrate of futurism, spectacular gardens and legendary street food. In a week you go from the skyscrapers of Marina Bay to the temples of Chinatown, all in widely spoken English with flawless transport. Just remember your yellow fever certificate, required for travellers coming from Cameroon.

Nice country, with a very advanced tech side. That said, budget well: everything is expensive there… even food.

💡 Food is very expensive.
