Browsing through a famous social networking site made me discover how I have a lot of friends which are already staying in Singapore. No, they are not only random cyberspace acquaintances; I am talking about friends who I met in high school. There are even some childhood friends who I have not seen for about a decade now. All of them are, just as I am, taking up college in some of the world's best schools in Singapore. Whenever we talk about it, they are evidently proud to be studying in a beautiful and successful country.
Singapore is an island city state in Southeast Asia. Being in the southern edge of the Malayan Peninsula, the country relishes the typical tropical rainforest climate which its neighboring countries go through all year round. Without distinctive seasons, the country's beaches, theme parks, zoos among many attractions, draws tourists all year round. Not to mention the yearly influx of businessmen visiting the country and enjoying the sights and pleasures in the process.
But Singapore's beauty does not only lie with the natural attractions. Dubbed as the cleanest city in the world, walking in the streets of this country is like walking in a big theme park where skyscrapers and neatly maintained roads are the attractions. The culture is also remarkable. Almost every citizen upholds utmost discipline. These attitudes are eventually passed on to tourists who learn to respect the country by following its rules tightly. These rules pay off in the end, by providing everyone a wonderful place to stay in.
So for Asian students like me who dream of going to successful schools in successful cities, Singapore should top the list. Certainly, Singapore has a bright future. A future that is symbolized the
flag of Singapore which features the moon and the stars, this beautiful country's flag shall one day reach the top of the world even beyond, as far as the stars.
