There are four official languages in Singapore! There's Malay, which comes from the neighboring country of Malaysia, Mandarin from China, Tamil from India (one of the oldest languages still spoken in the world today), and English.
We use Singaporean dollars. One Singaporean dollar (S$1.00 or SGD 1.00) is about $0.78 USD!
A bottle of water can vary in price depending on the place you get it from. Be it from a local small shop or a stand on the side of the road, it may be S$1.30 - S$2.00. However, if you go to a nicer store or restaurant, it can range between S$5.00 - S$7.00.
Most definitely, malatang! Malatang a customizable Chinese street food and soup dish that literally means "numbing spicy hot [soup]." It's so great, because you can pick out your own ingredients that are then cooked for you in the broth. I often pick noodles, cabbages, mushrooms and a variety of meats, all in a spicy tangy broth.
I have been listening to jazz music and lofi while I study! It helps me focus.
