Any nice meals are with your clients/big bosses so it wouldn't be fun.
You'll be so busy with your projects you won't have time to take extra days of leave to tour the city because your boss/clients want your back in singapore NOW.

i mostly agree with this. at my peak period i can be flying off somewhere every week at months at a time. my wife thinks i'm having a ball of a time but no. even if i travel alone a lot of time is spent in transit, thinking about the meeting before and after the meeting, formulating reports and strategy, etc.
of course there are exceptions, especially when u attend trade shows which u can sneak in a tour of the city if u do not have to meet people on the side or deal with your daily day-to-day issues.
i would say traveling once in 3-6 months can break the monotony of sitting in the office. but at an entry level position, u won't enjoy any trip if u are with your bosses.
