【推荐2】The recent high-profile movie Crazy Rich Asians shows a side of Singapore that most people-not even Singaporeans — don’t get to see. While the story is largely set in Singapore, filming took place both in the city state and neighbouring Malaysia. Attractions such as Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands and Malaysia’s heritage Cheong Fatt Sze Mansion appeal to people.
Crazy Rich Asians is by no means the only movie to be filmed in these areas. Here are five international films that you may not have known were set or filmed in Singapore or Malaysia.
1. EQUALS (2015)
In this sci-fi romance, Singapore serves as the location of an apocalyptic (世界末日的) society. Viewers can catch glimpses of the Marina Barrage, Singapore Botanic Gardens, and the spectacular Henderson Waves at Southern Ridges bridge.
2. ROGUE TRADER (1999)
Based on the true story of British investment broker Nick Leeson, it is about how he lost $2.2 billion through risky trades in Singapore and brought down Barings, Britain’s oldest merchant bank. Leeson wrote the book that the film is based on while serving a prison sentence. The movie has scenes of Rales Hotel and the Central Business District.
3. SAINT JACK (1979)
This controversial adaptation of Paul Theroux’s novel was groundbreaking in that it was the first Hollywood movie to be filmed entirely on location in Singapore — without government approval, though.
4. LUST, CAUTION (2007)
Directed by Oscar-winner Ang Lee, this spy thriller, set in Hong Kong and Shanghai during the 1930s and 1940s, is about a group of students who plan to assassinate (刺杀) an intelligence chief. Locations in Ipoh and Penang in Malaysia were used for this time period due to their prewar architecture.
5. ENTRAPMENT (1999)
This thriller shows Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Twin Towers several times. However, the then Malaysian Prime Minister was reportedly displeased that the film showed the great landmark next to small dirty houses — in reality, they are surrounded by large, luxurious gardens.
1. What can be learned about Nick Leeson?| A．He acted in the movie ROGUE TRADER. |
| B．He was put into prison after his risky trade. |
| C．He was asked to write a book for a movie. |
| D．He was one of Britain’s oldest businessmen. |

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
33, 000 acres of forests wait between Cleveland and Akron, all along the snaking Cuyahoga River. The park will delight you with plenty of outdoor activities suiting every interest, but do not climb over the fenced areas, rocks, or Brandywine Falls.

Extending some 160 miles along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, this series of parks includes a historic building, untouched barrier islands, and sugar-white beaches. Don’t miss the Fort Pickens area, which is a perfect spot to observe wild animals living in the scenic natural environment. With an average high of 79°F and a low of 60°F, the fall weather here is exceptional.

【推荐3】Here is' a collection of the best travel apps.
Best for planning
PackPoint
The app customizes (定制) packing lists based on weather forecasts and a questionnaire about your trip — where you're going, when you're going, what you're doing, etc.
You can get all these features with the free app; but with a $ 2. 99 in-app purchase.
Best for your body
Timeshifter
The app offers advice about when you should expose yourself to bright lights, when you should avoid caffeine, and when you should nap. The best part? It takes into account your habits, routines, and sleep patterns as it devises a personalized jet lag plan for you. The downside? You only get one free plan. After that, it's $ 9. 99 per plan or $ 24. 99 for a year of unlimited plans.
Best for managing your money
GlobeTips
Different countries have different tipping customs. GlobeTips can help with navigating different tipping norms across countries.
Once you select a country, you have the choice to either manually enter the bill amount or let the app's bill recognition technology do it for you. Use the sliding scale to adjust tip percentages based on the app's suggestion, and it will calculate and display both the tip and your total. You can look at tipping basics for each country on the free version, but you'll have to upgrade the app for $ 4. 99 if you want to read the tip guide in full. This app is for iOS users only, however.
Best for local experiences
Meetup
Great minds think alike, and they get together with the help of Meetup. The platform is all about connecting people with similar interests. It has more than 44 million users and more than 333,000 meet up groups, so you’re bound to find something. Once you find a group that interests you, you can request to become a member and attend its events. The app is free unless you’re trying to organize groups and events yourself-in which case you'll have to pay for a subscription (订购) starting at $ 9. 99.
