how big is singapore?
when i travel and people ask me about my country, i always say it’s a small place.
but exactly how small?
the answer - 704 km² or 272 square miles.
it’s always useful to compare so i did a bit of research and found the following:
- Sydney is 17 times bigger
- Shanghai is 9 times bigger
- Dubai is about 6 times bigger
- Tokyo Metropolis is about 3 times bigger
- Bangkok and Greater London is about 2.5 times bigger
- Singapore is 3/5 the size of Los Angeles
- Singapore is 4/5 the size of New York City
why i created this website
more than once, you have heard adults blame their lack of knowledge and ability on the educational system.
so i thought i set up a website to be a resource for adult learners, who are keen about learning and want to share their knowledge and ideas.
what exactly that means, i’m still not sure. but i’ll fumble along.
there will be mistakes, terrible writing and general silliness but it’s all in the name of learning and a bias for action.
do share with me your ideas, especially if you want to be a contributor. my email address is isaiah@ihadapooreducation.com
stop the blaming, start the learning.
