Location
Singapore has been at the crossroads of East and West for decades - even more so today. The city-state is an ideal place for you to experience diverse Asian Cultures, cuisines and languages within a predominantly English-speaking environment. Singapore is also the perfect 'soft landing' in the heart of a booming Asia-Pacific region. Well established as a regional hub for finance, research, and innovation, Singapore is a great jumping-off point to explore the many cultures, languages and societies nearby, including India, China, Vietnam and Thailand.
Monocle magazine recently ranked Singapore among the "Top 20 Most Liveable Cities" in the world, a charming enclave packed with events, and festivals and greenery. The world's first-ever Formula 1 Grand Prix Night race colled into town in September 2008. And in August 2010, the inaugural Youth Olympics Games was hosted in this exciting city. Green-friendly landscape and never-ending nightlife have attracted the attention of global citizens on the move - and on their way to success.
