English at its most exotic
Singapore is booming, with new restaurants, downtown skyscrapers and boutiques opening more often than most people can keep track of. And while Singapore’s modernization is always progressing, the traditions that shaped the city remain intact. Signs of a British colonial past can be seen in many of the civic buildings and traditional places of worship such as the Thian Hock Keng Temple sit in the shadow of towering skyscrapers.
Cultures have been rubbing shoulders here for centuries, and the descendants of Chinese, Malay and Indian peoples blend with a substantial Western expat population to create one of the most multicultural urban areas on the planet. The geography of Singapore is dominated by crystal blue waters, as the city consists of one main island and 63 smaller islands. The climate here is uniformly tropical, and Singapore’s white-sand beaches are some of the most idyllic in the world. During your English courses in Singapore, hop on a cable car and take in the views of downtown on your way to Sentosa Island, a favorite beach and party spot of locals.
