Früh übt sich ...

Will man sein Kind in Singapur in den Kindergarten schicken, hört sich das folgendermaßen an:

I am a foreigner. I would like to register my child in one of the local kindergartens. How do I go about doing it?

Any child who is not a Singaporean needs to have a valid student pass to study in Singapore.

Wie gesagt, wir reden hier von 3jährigen, deren einziger "Job" doch darin bestehen sollte, spielerisch groß zu werden, oder? Singapurer Pustekuchen, geht gerade so weiter.

Da fehlt noch:

* Love the mother country above all else for it will comfort you until you die...
