Hello there!

Have you guys ever been or heard of Singapore?

Its knowns as the Lion City. Personally, I live in Singapore. Its a really cool place. Singapore's well known for it racial harmony and racism is a strict no-no here.

There are 4 main races in Singapore, namely the Chinese, Malay, Indians and the Eurasians.

There are lots of nice food here. This is because of the years racial mixture, there are really interesting types of food here. Its usually a combination of different cultures and races. Signapore is known as 'Food Paradise' when it comes to food.

Singapore's a tourism hub so there are sure lotrs of stuff to do here. Alot of tourists attractions.

The tagline for Singapore this year is 'Uniquely Singapore'. If you guys have any questions, do feel free to post them here.

I would love to stop by and visit Singapore one day. Half of my family lives in Thailand, so maybe the next time I visit them I will hopefully get a chance to stop by.

That's interesting. One thing you guys might like to know is that chewing/bubble gum is banned in Singapore...and that the authorities are really strict, especially with littering.

I bet you would find it an exciting experience if you come here on a tourist visit...I won't say much about if you come here to work....

The government is afraid that the people would stick the gum everywhere.... Imagine going onto a train and find chewing gum on your seat.....

singapore is a good country for foreigner to visit and work, but DO NOT take up the citizen and permanent resident, its crap. The gov prefer foreigner than its own citizen, so do you think its a good country to live in? B)

I once saw a TV-show claiming that pavements in Singapore are washed with soap every night. I have always found that hard to believe.
