Overview
Activity details
Multi-ethnicity, multiculturalism, multiracial and interracial.
Singapore celebrates it all.

The highlights:
Not 1, not 2, but all 3 ethnic quarters

Background Story (to date):
With colossal buildings, hurried development, and incredible economic growth that thrives as much as its greenery, this bustling cosmopolitan Singapore overflows with opportunities, businesses, and trade. But what's pulsating within the city is beyond what most eyes see. Made up of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and various other ethnicities, cultural heritage is what makes Singapore, Singapore — a gathering of different cultures coexisting in one agreeable space.
