The Republic of Singapore (also known as "Lion City", although history tells us Singapore's founder probably meant "tigers") is a very clean and orderly city-state located on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, with Changi airport usually placed at the top of the "world's best" lists. It is the fifth wealthiest country in the world and the smallest state in southeastern Asia, although far larger than Monaco and Vatican City (the world's only other sovereign city-states). It is the only Asian country which has English as its first language, 36% of its population are foreigners, it is the second most densely populated country in the world and its standards in just about everything are very high. Singaporean cuisine is diverse and delicious and like the culture a blend of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Arabic influences. Independence from Britain was declared in 1963 and Singapore gained its sovereignty in 1965. See the Orchard Road, the temples, Singapore Zoo, go on a night safari, eat at the food courts, pay homage to Sir Stamford Raffles (the founder of modern-day Singapore) by enjoying a Singapore Sling in the world-famous Long Bar in Raffles Hotel, see the casinos at Sentosa Resort, the list of attractions is far too long for this small space...
