Conpared to many cities that we consider diverse (NYC, Amsterdam, London, etc), Singapore is by far more diverse, perhaps only second d to Dubai.

Their metro lines have announcements in 4 languages, and you can even get away without speaking English as a middleman langage. Majority of the people speak at least a little of other languages. It's always a mix of languages (Chinese, Malay/Indonesian, Tamil, Sinhalese, etc).

It still has to mix with the European culture though. There are far more Indian, Chinese, Indonesian, and Australian influence.




Singapore is highly multicultural but the depth is shallow. Strong national conformity tampers down the extremes of individualism.
