It’s easy to imagine someone having a great time in Singapore.  It really doesn’t matter who, because this place has something fascinating, exciting, or simply splendid, for anyone, of all ages, from all backgrounds.  It is an enormously interesting city state with a plethora of activities and attractions, and it never seems to run out of new things to see and do.  It’s probably because the diversity of the population adds extra creative sparks and energy to everything that happens here, and the openness to other nations and cultures is reflected in the art, science, and commerce.  It’s long history as a major world port certainly helps to contribute to its global sensibility.  After splendid just a bit of time here, however, might make you start to wonder if Singapore is the place that gave the definition to global sensibility.

There’s certainly a lot to find here, and a lot of things are possible here that simply aren’t possible anywhere else.  Outside of India, this may be the best place in the world for Indian cuisine, and sometimes it even rivals its place of origin.  It’s very easy to find an excellent Indian restaurant, there’s no question about it, and there’s a very large population here that’s descended from India.  This is a fantastic place to get to know Singapore, but also a great place to get to know about India’s contributions to world culture.  Many people might know about European influences on astronomy, but in the so-called western world it may be less understood how much Indian astronomers have influenced the  way we all look at the starts today.

The Astronomical Society of Singapore is a wonderful place to learn about astronomy in general, but it’s also a great way to learn about the history of this fascinating science.  They are dedicated to promoting interest in astronomy, particularly observational astronomy, for all levels of scholarship.  They are a very lively and active group, and their work helps to bridge the gaps between culture and science, and introduce ways of learning about the skies that we all share.
