Part 2/8:
Prior to visiting, many people voiced hesitance about traveling abroad, particularly to Asian countries, mostly due to fears surrounding the language barrier. However, one of Singapore's most remarkable attributes is that it serves as a welcoming environment for English speakers. The two main languages spoken are English and Mandarin Chinese, facilitating communication significantly. Once I arrived, I found that language was far less of an obstacle than I had imagined, with most locals speaking English fluently enough to facilitate understanding. For anyone considering a visit, understanding that English is widely spoken should certainly ease any reservations.
