Singapore
While in Singapore you will not find ancient monuments and historic tourist attractions that you would in most other countries of Asia, this technologically advanced nation is entirely worth visiting for its fabulous food options, festivals and events, all of which draw from the country's resident mixed population of Chinese, Indian and Malay cultures. It is also a terrific staging point for inexpensive trips to many other places in southeast Asia.
