I have been to Singapore earlier on a tourist visa for 3 days where we did visit the places of interest and flew back.
This time, I got an oppportunity to come on an Employment Pass for 3 months and this post is about my quick review of what this place is all about...
The City ranks very high among Citizens/Expats and Mobile crowd for 2 distict reasons. 1. Cleanliness 2. Security/Low Crime rate
This is particulary true and have observed females going about without inhibitions alone past midnight.
The Public transport is outstanding considering the tie up with MRT(Train) and SMRT buses.
People are quite cordial and helpful and everyone speaks English. But you cannot get away with "la" at the end... Ok la... :)
Rentals are pretty exorbitant and the residentship is of two types. HDB (Housing Development Board -Govt apartments) and Condos (Privately owned)
There are rooms let out for shared purpose. i.e)If you have a Master Bed Room and 2 Single Rooms , they share the Single Rooms separately and also Master Bed Room and make the agreement done
House Agents/Brokers get a month of rental as deposit and tenure is either 1 year or more. The More the tenure, better the bargaining potential. 1-2 months advance as deposit and pay in advance while occupying the posession.
China Town and Little India have domination of the respective Countries. Lot of Indian Restaurants and particularly south indian cusines are well in demand.
Work wise, people are hardworking and they are quite reserved. They (Native Singaporeans) do not socialize much with other members from foreign countries.
Weather is little humid with showers intermittently varying between 28- 32 degree Celsius all through the year.
