My goodness. Singapore IS a country in all respects. It’s not that complicated after all. And no it’s not part of China. It’s near Malaysia and Indonesia (far south of China, Thailand, Vietnam, etc).

I have a question: I was born in Singapore in 1967 in a British Navy Hospital. I have since moved to Canada. I know nothing of my birth place. What would my nationality be? What is the most common language spoken there? If I were to visit Singapore where would the best places be for me to visit?
Thank you for help in advance.

I have a question; my family having a discussion. Is Singapore in China?

Thank you.

I’m not surprised at all with your title. When I left my country to Singapore, my friends asked me the same thing : “Where is Singapore?” plus some bonus ones like: “Is it very cold there?”, “So can you speak Singapore language?” or “Which city will you stay in Singapore?”

That highlights that Singapore is probably well-known but pretty poor-understood.

Hey Andrea, Pop Quiz Answer…

1. Lets say when I started my quiz i was in the midst of the culture shock crisis and didnt know back and forth…this is over long time now…but the name is easy to remember and sometimes im still angry…so I just kept it :)

2. There is no “best” place for me, I love the Indonesian restaurant ‘Vila Bali’ for dinner, i love the ecp for blading, my rooftops infinity pool for relaxing, settlers cafe for boardgames, china 1 for pool, zouk for parties, KM8 for a lazy sunday afternoon, vivocity golden village for a nice movie…my Malaysian food stall for nice supper etc etc :)

Okay, AngryAngMo,

Pop quiz: =)
1. Why are you angry??
2. What is the best place in Singapore for you?? Like for me, I like Clarke Quay and the vicinity around Esplanade the most.

Most Singaporeans who travel, study or work overseas are Chinese and Indians. The Malays in Singapore follow a very strict rule on their halal food…. so it gives a false sense that Singaporeans are mainly Chinese… Thanks for Travel Channel Take 5, (program has stopped since), highlighting mainly the Indian part of Singapore.
