As a student I spent a year living in SE Asia. I emphasise the word "student" as I do not want people to confuse this year with the infamous 'Gap Yah!" Till the day I die I shall maintain that I was living in Singapore to study.
If a potential employer was to ask me (and it is a common question in interviews) why I chose Singapore over any other country in the word I would probably have to lie and say:
"It was because it was a long term decision to improve my career prospects as Asia has a growing economy which many businesses are expanding into."
In all honesty I doubt anyone believes it; I'm still not sure that I believe it. To my eternal shame (of which I'm not really that ashamed) the honest answer to the question is that I chose Singapore for it's food and location. My choice had nothing to do with the Law Modules I could study, I simply ate exotic food, in exotic countries, and butchered their language (much to the local's amusement).
