## Population density

Singapore is 127 times more densely populated than Mexico — 8,500 against 67 people per km².

## Practical differences

- They drive on opposite sides — Mexico on the right, Singapore on the left.
- Different currencies: the Mexican peso and the Singapore dollar.
- Mexico spans 4 time zones, so "local time" there is not a single answer.
- Different continents — North America and Asia.

## Mexico

Mexico has the fourth-highest count of vertebrate and plant species of any country, and more reptile species than anywhere else. Chicxulub, under the northern Yucatán, is the roughly 180 km crater left by the asteroid impact 66 million years ago. The Sistema Sac Actun beneath the same peninsula is the longest known underwater cave system in the world, over 370 km surveyed.

## Singapore

A city-state on one main island plus about sixty smaller ones, and it has grown roughly a quarter since 1965 by reclaiming land from the sea. The port is one of the busiest in the world by tonnage. Changi Airport's Jewel holds a 40 m indoor waterfall, the tallest of its kind.
