Living and Studying in Singapore

Singapore is located at the southern tip of the Malaysian peninsular. It consists of the island of Singapore and some 63 islets within its territorial waters. The main island is about 42 km from west to east and 23 km from north to south. It is a mostly undulating country with low hills. The highest, 540-ft/166-m is Bukit Timah Hill to the northwest of the city).

Singapore's Central Business District actually spreads across both the central and southern parts of the island. You can get a good visual orientation to the city as you cross the Benjamin Sheares Bridge on the East Coast Parkway, which links the airport to the city center. The Singapore cityscape looks magnificent, particularly at night when buildings are brilliantly lit. Offshore, there appears to be another city all lit up because of the many ships anchored there - Singapore is one of the busiest seaports in the world.

Many of the city's attractions are clustered closely together. Orchard Road, the shoppers' haven, is located in the northern part of the city center. Chinatown, where you'll find Boat Quay, is just to the southeast of Orchard Road, while Little India is northeast. Sentosa Island, with its many amusements, is directly to the southwest of the city center.

Climate

Singapore is generally hot and humid. It's warm and humid year round, with the temperature almost never dropping below 20°C (68°F), even at night, and usually climbing to 30°C (86°F) during the day. Recent times, it even reached till 35°C.  Humidity is high, mounting over 75%.

November and December is the rainy season. June-August is considered to be the best time to visit, but even then it rains often. Don't let the climate stop you from going, however. Most buildings are air-conditioned. When it does rain, it is generally only for a short period.

For those who enjoy the sun and the beach, Singapore is an ideal place for beach lovers, as you get the hot sun throughout the year. So when you're in Singapore, just bring along your cooling apparels and hats.
