Singapore is a mystical place, meaning in a positive way. Mood, like feelings for people, for nature, for the subconscious itself, change very quickly and imperceptibly.
But I personally, having visited many countries and cities, children's camps and English courses, I cannot help but notice that Singapore, namely MDIS, is the best place to meet people, namely people, in our time it costs a lot, everyone is so friendly there. , whatever you want or not want, but you will definitely meet someone or make friends. Your curator won't let you get bored, I can't vouch for everyone (curators), but I'm talking specifically about Maria - she is a wonderful person and a great curator ...
... in these 3 weeks I have learned a lot, both in English and in a psychological-educational sense. Here you can get to know the life of a student, get to know the locals, and stuff like that. For myself personally - I learned stability and understand, I also learned to say no to myself more often (a useful thing, we take it, it will come in handy).
I will greatly miss this place and even more for the people I met there, as they say: "the world is round, we will meet .."
