| Let's Explore Singapore! |
Hi everyone!
This week we'll be embarking on a live, interactive walking tour of…..
Singapore!
Join us online this Friday, May 19 at 7:00pm EDT to learn about the story of Singapore, from its founding in 1819 as trading outpost and a British colony to the cosmopolitan global city it is today. This one-hour tour will cover the historically-rich Civic District in downtown Singapore. You will have a chance to marvel at an eclectic mix of colonial-era, modern and futuristic landmarks that make up the Singapore skyline.
Registration is required for this online event and space is limited. Click here to sign up and reserve your spot today!
