[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s complex and I say this as a mixed Asian person, but I would choose Singapore because it is so friendly to children and very international, transient and very diverse. You’ll need to look for an international, American or Canadian school and you do have to choose carefully to avoid too much privilege. But people are very open and welcoming and as a society it does a lot to support happy families and children.[/quote]

+1. We're American expats, currently posted in Singaopore.  Other than the heat, I love it.  It's been the easiest of all the countries where we've lived in integrate, including UK.  It's clean, everything works and there is a sizeable expat community whom you will meet when putting your kids at an international school, but also, English is one of the official languages here so it has been super easy to make Singaporean friends too.  In some other countries where we've lived, we were in an expat bubble and it was really hard to get to know locals.  Singapore for the win.

Other places we've lived have included Germany, Dubai, Moscow, Saudi, UK.[/quote]
