Q. I'm interested in being a foreign exchange student to Singapore, but am unable to find any information on this. Is it even possible?
A. Sorry...I used the "Getting Started" tool on the website for the Council for Standards for International Educational Travel (csiet.org) and it listed no programs to go to Singapore from the USA.
CSIET routinely audits programs for quality. While it is possible that a good organization is not listed with them, it is less likely and I would advise doing more research on anyone that is not listed with them.
Good luck to you!!

How much would an open ended plane ticket to anywhere in the world cost around?
Q. Looking for a possible gift, what do I need to know?
A. you need to be in a city which is a travel hub to really get a direct ticket to "anywhere" in the world. that would be London, NY, LA, Tokyo, HK, Singapore, Shanghai, other european capitals.. in general.. furthest direct flight is usually about 20 hours.. which would be around 2500 euros depending on where you are.. hard to reach places like antartica, ends of south america, tips of archipelagos will require lotsa planning.. good luck!
How large is the number of Japanese tourists in China?
Q. Today in Beijing while coming down from the elevator I saw a family of a Japanese mother and daughter talking in their language. I've heard of Chinese tourists in Japan, but never vice versa.
Thank you!
