Singapore is known as the Lion City of Asia. It has four official languages: Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, and English (including Singlish). The country has many religious influences including Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, and Hinduism. Culturally, it is considered rude to point with your foot and polite to address elders as "uncle" or "aunty". Some interesting facts are that Singapore is one of three surviving city-states, has some of the fastest walkers, and one of the smallest countries in the world.
