π€οΈ Weather
Singapore
Singapore sits just 1 degree north of the equator, giving it a tropical rainforest climate with uniformly hot and humid conditions year-round. Expect sudden afternoon thunderstorms that clear quickly. There is no cool season.
Yerevan
Yerevan has a continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters. The city sits at about 1,000 meters elevation on the Ararat plain. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons for sightseeing.
π Getting Around
Singapore
Singapore has world-class public transit. The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) rail network and extensive bus system cover virtually the entire island. Get an EZ-Link card or use a contactless Visa/Mastercard for seamless travel across all modes.
Walkability: The city center is very walkable with covered walkways (5-foot ways) protecting from rain and sun. Marina Bay, Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam are all best explored on foot. Air-conditioned underground malls connect many MRT stations in the CBD.
Yerevan
Yerevan is compact and the central core is walkable. The metro is limited but clean and cheap. Ride-hailing apps are the most convenient way to get around, with very low fares by Western standards.
Walkability: Excellent in the Kentron district β Republic Square, the Cascade, and Northern Avenue are all within easy walking distance. Sidewalks can be uneven and drivers don't always respect pedestrian crossings.
