Singapore is an island city-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, with four official languages and a compact, rail-served core. Changi Airport lies about 24 km east of the Central Area and has its own MRT station. Temperatures barely change through the year, so rainfall is the main seasonal difference.
