On the 28th January 1819 Sir Stamford Raffles landed in an obscure fishing village in Asia. Just 200 years later Singapore is a thriving metropolis with children and gardens at its heart.
Singapore puts its energy into raising smart and environmentally aware children, they regularly top the list of ‘smartest children in the world’ for math and science and the Jacob Ballas is the first garden in Asia dedicated to children. They also have two national days a year, in July & October, dedicated to children – to celebrate their achievements and show appreciation.
The city zoo has been named best in Asia and third best in the world and is open at night where you may take a train around the zoo and see the nocturnal creatures at play.
Singapore was also the first city to host a Formula 1 race at night, in 2008, this continues annually and the next race is in September 2019 and packages are already on sale, including race tickets.
The country is a business powerhouse and has more millionaires than the rest of the world. To thank the country the National Bank has encrypted the whole of the National Anthem onto is €1000 note.
