Despite nicknamed "Lion City", there are no wild lions in Singapore ever. A prince saw a creature and he thought it was a lion. It was postulated that he had seen a tiger instead.
it is unknown where st. Patrick was born, some say he was born in Brittany.Well, since little is known about Wales I'll start with this opening fact. Saint Patrick was Welsh! Not Irish. However, he was the patron saint of Ireland and therefore it became a thing and people still think he's Irish. He's Welsh :)
Also, there's been so much debate as of late about who actually discovered America. There's been evidence for the Vikings, Norse, etc. But one person is rarely mentioned well... ever. Prince Madog ab Owain Gwynedd. Some people around here (mostly scholars and historians, and rarely those under the age of 60) believe that he discovered America. This was based off of a Poem, a Ballad, and a story used by Queen Elizabeth I to convince the English to explore for themselves. There's been evidence of Welsh influence on the Native Indians, and armour had been found there as well bearing the Welsh coat of arms. This being said, it's basically just a rumour as far as I'm concerned!
Actual Welsh history has to do with one of my favorite holidays of all time. Calan Awst is essentially the first day of Autumn and it's one big festival with drinking and fun :)) In different shires/counties it's different, but in Caerphilly it's pretty much just a day to get really fucking wasted. Go Wales!
This is the strangest thing about Wales, and it's our history for shagging sheep. This really didn't happen all that often, except in the country. Never call a Welsh person a sheep shagger unless you want to get fined £150. Seriously. Although, some farmers when we first joined the UK found out that the fine was lower for having intercourse with a sheep that it was for stealing it. So.. they shagged it and then stole it. Ladies and gentlemen, Wales.
