  hi

  I suspect they may have ad's loaded by region not by country, so if there is nothing else available, you may see that. it's purely a guess though.

  LOL, funny, not tyvm, but an Eastern.....acceptable !

  No slight, just an observation between the Oriental and Occidental..

  More Germanic / Teutonic  in its tone ??

  Again, no offense....

  I seem to have the knack of doing such ...:)))

  Hmmm I lived in Singapore for 5 years and Chinese ethnicity has the largest percentage with over 74% of the population belonging to this group. Therefore it makes marketing sense for the ads to be in Chinese.

  Officially recognised languages are Mandarin, English, Malay and Tamil.

  Unofficially Singlish is used - a hybrid.

  Local schools (Government run) have Mandarin as a compulsory standard and the quality of English (also compulsory) is pretty dire (but better than Hong Kong).

  Hence why many ex-pats choose International Schools (where Mandarin and other languages are optional).

  The international school my kids went to have a diverse range of ethnicities - over 60 countries by memory - including Singaporean.

  You really must be at the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel for a real Singapore Sling - not that I actually like them.

  But when in Rome do what few Singaporeans can afford (or willing) to do   lol
