Singapore is in China

I received a letter in the mail from my future University(of Illinoisssssss)...
It was filled with some useless brochures telling me that the Beds in the States are bigger than the Beds in my country(wherever that may be, they had no idea). So I had to buy expensive designer bedsheets, pillow cases, comforters, towels, bath robes and bunny slippers(all in matching pink!) from them, if I were to avoid freezing to death during the duration of my stay over there.

But what's really interesting, is what's written on the letter itself. Heres a pic of the front of the letter...

Apparently, one of the over-zealous postal workers spotted a big mistake on the Address written on the letter. He noticed the sender only wrote "Singapore", the province. The country was totally left out. So, he took matters into his own hands

by filling out the country at the bottom.

Of course, all chinese come from China, so Singapore must be somewhere in China... Its so obvious...

501 Sixth Avenue
Singapore 276585
"The one not in China"

you really shouldn't put your address up there. otherwise people who are obsessed with you might hunt you down and do bad things. even if you were to take that post down, any obsessed people have probably already memorised it, so you should invest in heavy security pronto.
