At the young age of 18 I have visited 10 different countries and 2 continents. The very very large majority my age will not have seen that.
Now please stop. I do not get you middle age/old people who get at young people/teenagers for being adventurous and criticising us for our knowledge when you were in-fact a teenager before and probably had poorer knowledge of worldwide countries.
Oh and by the way my grandparents are both in their 70's and they have not been to any near the number of countries that I have visited so experience does NOT come with age.
The UK is one country so you're down to 6, and Ireland is in Europe so you have visited 1 continent )

Well despite Mummy & Daddy taking you on holiday lots it hasn't broadened your horizons, or indeed given you any knowledge about other cultures (apart from what fast food you can get in theme parks)...
You don't even have the most basic knowledge about the UK, let alone other countries...

Pretty much. For someone boasting about how many countries he's visited at such a young age, he seems pretty clueless/ignorant at times...
I'm just not seeing how Singapore is similar to the UK besides superficial similarities and fact that Singaporeans use British vocabulary when speaking English? Like my mom's Singaporean friend calls the portable light a torch, not a flashlight. Besides that, pretty much Chinese through and through.
His entire life
English widely spoken, an official language and medium of most things? Check
Common Law? Check
Westminster style parliamentary system? Check
Colonial buildings? Check
Presence of Christianity, specifically Anglicanism? Check
Country clubs? Check
British street names? Check
Plus it's not only Chinese. Don't ignore the significant Malay and Indian influence.
Of course there will be differences, we're talking about the similarities. One could say the say about many parts of the Anglosphere.
For instance Los Angeles...different landscape to the UK, far away, religion - majority Catholic, surnames, a lot of Hispanic names, blah blah...
