The project is 95% complete, phew, especially after 2 weeks of nagging and protests from the prime candidate. We have a social studies project due this week, a presentation on a country of choice. Easy lah, this one has to be SINGAPORE mah. ( do I hear laughter from Fred?)
All the research, cutting, pasting, searching, we are done!! Fortunately the engineer in the house had to help too. SOme interesting facts we have arrived at:
Singapore is only 270 square miles, with a population of 4 Million and GDP of $124 Million (2006). Comparable to Hancock county, 570 square miles, and about 70,000 population.
Even Disneyworld is bigger than Singapore!

A merlion, half mermaid, half lion, symbol of Singapore.

Here are other interesting facts the candidate arrived at: Singapore is almost similar to USA, the same sports are played, similar cuisines (I grew up with MacDonalds too), similar languages.
National flower is the orchid, we used a picture of the houseplant.
For extra points, we listed the most popular person from Singapore, who else, MOM!
Total cost of project: $20.00.Time spent on project: lost count.
Free lessons to a 9 year old on Singapore: Priceless.
For everything else, there is the library or the web.
PS: I will update on my final grade.
