Impression of Singapore

¡¡

First week I arrived in Singapore, I fell in love with this beautiful and clean city. It is a country has multiple cultures and races, but people here are generally polite and warm. One thing that surprises me is that there are so many people who can understand and say fluent Mandarin, even they are not Chinese. That really made my first week here easier.

 

Small city

Singapore is a small city, so small that when I first got here, I often got fooled by the street map. The places, which seem very far on the map, are usually just within 10 minutes walk.  

 

Weather

Though Singapore is a tropical country, but the weather here is not unbearable, probability because it rains a lot here. So if you decided to walk around the city, you¡¯d better take an umbrella with you all the time to block the sun or rain. Also the buildings, trains, buses are all air conditioned here, and the temperature is usually low, so to stay in the building for a long time, you may want to bring a warmer coat.
