SINGAPORE
Singapore, an island city-state, is located at the crossroads of the Asia Pacific. It is a welcome blend of sophistication and multi-racial traditions as old as the cultures themselves. Confined within a land mass of just 639 square kilometers and lying just over one degree north of the equator, Singapore is a dynamic, modern metropolis where skyscrapers tower high above the world's second busiest port.
Singapore's strategic location and fine harbor made it ideal for a trading port during the 1890's. The city attracted enterprising merchants and hardworking immigrants from many places.
