Singapore � The �Lion city�

If there is one word that best captures Singapore, it is “unique”. Singapore is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets.

Sydney opera house

Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most distinctive 20th century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world. Situating on Bennelong Point, which reaches out into the harbour, the building and its surroundings are one of the best known icons of Australia.

Osaka Castle is deep-rooted in the minds of citizens of Osaka as the symbol of Osaka, as is the "Taiko-han" (founder of Osaka Castle, Hideyoshi Toyotomi). Originally called Ozaka-jo, Osaka Castle is one of Japan's most famous castles, and played a major role in the unification of Japan during the sixteenth century of the Azuchi-Momoyama period.
