Singapore is officially one of the world's best cities to explore after dark
For such a tiny city, there's a heck of a lot to do in Singapore. We're talking merry jaunts to our numerous parks and gardens, all-day outings at attractions like Universal Studios Singapore and Gardens by the Bay, mad shopping sprees at Orchard – we could go on. But if you're keen to escape the sweltering daytime heat, then Singapore after-dark has plenty to offer as well, and a new study by long-haul travel specialist Travelbag will attest to that. Here's what Travelbag has done: it has analysed more than 100 major cities, examining Instagram hashtag volume, levels of light and noise pollution, after-dark safety scores, and the number of venues and attractions that stay open well after the sun goes down. The result is a list of the 10 best cities for nighttime tourism, and Singapore ranks at a very respectable No. 4 in the world. For one, Travelbag found that this little red dot has almost 450 venues open late at night. We reckon that this covers expected spots such as bars (which number among the best in the world) and nightclubs (both mainstream and under-the-radar). But let's not forget other attractions you can hit up past dinnertime: how about a moonlit ride on the Singapore Flyer or a heartfelt karaoke night at a KTV studio? And perhaps the best part – the sheer number of supper spots where you can fuel up. Check out our round-up of the best late-night dining places from hotpot restaurants to dim sum joints. The real clincher, though, is that Singapore is so damn safe: we score 77 out of 100 on the after-dark safety measure. It's only the sixth-safest in the list after cities like Abu Dhabi (87 points) and Taipei (85 points), but we can say from experience that this is one of the rare places in the world where you can walk freely at night with little fear.

Are L.A. County's Beaches Safe?
A new report from nonprofit group Heal the Bay is warning Angelenos of significant health concerns for both people and marine life along the Los Angeles County coastline in the aftermath of January's deadly and devastating wildfires. "At this time, Heal the Bay recommends avoiding beaches and ocean water from Las Flores to Santa Monica State Beach and exercising caution at beaches further south, at least to Dockweiler State Beach," the nonprofit agency warned. The nonprofit agency's findings sound the alarm for heavy metals found after testing that include aluminum, iron, selenium, and manganese that "were elevated above drinking water standards, sometimes as much as 10x the limit." Along with those heavy metals, arsenic, copper, and zinc were found at levels that pose a threat to marine life, most significantly at Will Rogers State Beach and Topanga Beach, the spots where the Environmental Protection Agency relocated wildfire debris in the aftermath of the blazes that devoured 37 miles of the Pacific Palisades and Malibu coastline. The Palisades fire also left a dozen people the Bay's report also conflicts with findings released by the Los Angeles County public health officials stating that testing on ocean water samples collected on Jan. 22 and Jan. 27 "found no risks to human health." Those samples were taken before this week's significant rainfall, which sends raw sewage and fire debris into the ocean. Last year the City of Los Angeles agreed to pay a total of $20.8 million to fix issues at the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant after a 2021 spill spiraled millions of gallons of wastewater into Santa Monica Bay.
