Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

The phone is selling in the US for $350, but the cheapest I've found here without a plan is $700+! Anyone have an idea where or how to get it cheaper?

About S$2700 for MOM schools and upwards of S$8k a month (plus benefits, housing, etc.) for the upper echelon international schools.

There are a few routes you can take to land an international teaching position. I would check out http://www.tieonline.com and internationalschoolsreview.com. You can post your resume and search for jobs on TIEonline. The other site is to search schools and try to get a feel for what the teaching co...

I've been stalking this board for almost 6 months now. I've read just about every forum post for the past couple of years on things that pertain to me. I also notice that prices in Singapore inflate quite regularly as I've seen rents go up $800 on certain properties in the last 6 weeks. I spent 2 ho...

Thanks! $500 for utilities, huh? Do a lot of people skip out of town without paying their bills?

Yeah, I figured I'd get that response from you. What I'm searching for are not monthly costs, but cash deposits. Many utilities require deposits when opening accounts and I'd like to know how much to budget for those costs.

We are moving to Singapore in July, so basically I don't know a damn thing about it. I will say that you can do searches for properties on this site and can filter your search by district and I believe price. There are other sites on the internet, which I will not name out of respect, that can help ...

I'll bite. One of the best place for job postings is http://www.tieonline.com. It requires a subscription to view the postings, but if your friend is serious about teaching internationally, then $30USD won't hurt them too much. Internationalschoolsreview.com is a decent site to get an idea if the sc...

That stinks. I currently coach in the states and play on club teams in the summer. I was hoping there was a quiet underground league going.

Maybe we should. I'll map out the UI and whatnit should do. We'll be in country late July.

I have two ideas for educational apps. My wife and I are both teachers. I also have good friends who write for the largest apple magazine, so I could get it some publicity. Now, if only I knew how to code.
