About Singapore

Leo is in the capital of Singapore, Singapore, where the population is 5,943,546! Leo knows that the currency of Singapore is the Singapore dollar.

Singapore's land is very shallow since it is a very small island. Nearly two-thirds of Singapore's land is within 50 feet of the water. Singapore is very hilly, since its a small island nation.

Leo visits the docks of Singapore, a very busy trade route in the world. He goes swimming in the ocean next to the docks, seeing all the fish around the island. Leo then goes to the busiest part of Singapore, with a lot of businesses in the area. With Singapore being a big part of trade heading from China to India and beyond from the sea, there is a lot of economic wealth gain in this nation.

Buddhism is widely practiced religion in Singapore, followed by Christianity, Islam, Taoism, and Hinduism. This means the Leo can practice any religion he wants to practice, which is very good for him since he doesn't have a religion yet. Leo decides to learn the most popular religion in Singapore, Buddhism.
