So I was looking at my Geographic Analytics and to my surprise a lot of my viewers and readers have been or are from Singapore. I want to pay tribute and give thanks in a way to my readers there today and try to present a brief history on the beautiful country, but also I wish to present ten facts about Singapore today.
