Moving to Singapore
I work in the Bay Area but recently received an offer to work in Singapore. I enjoy traveling there but don't have a sense of living there. Any insights? #expat
I just got back from there (for work). It’s super safe and super clean. The downtown is really modern and the rest of the area (at least what I saw) feels pretty rural. There are some cool bars that I would compare to SF bars. Also maybe it’s just because I was around my work colleagues, but there seemed to be a bunch of expats there.
TC? And does it change moving to SG?

Doesn’t feel like Asia. Super expensive.
It’s expensive but super well connected and also super hot. It is a good jumping off point for travel in SEA. I’ve taken several cheap flights out of there. It’s one of the best airports in the world, if not the best !
The weather is very humid, come for a holiday and test your sweat tolerance level first
Food is half the price of sf, I would say quality is better for the price
Better urban areas, streets are way cleaner, but less natural landscapes like in bay area. 0 tolerance for drugs, high taxes on luxury items (cars, alcohol, smokes), essentials are cheap (food, public transport), also applies to housing (condo vs flat)
