Grass-fed beef is becoming bigger and bigger here in the US as people realize the health benefits. I buy from a friend of mine who has a farm in CT and I wonder if he could find a market for shipping it to Singapore... Interesting to think about...

I've been wondering about the availability of grass-fed beef in Singapore as well. Has anybody found a source? If not, I wonder if there is an opportunity for someone to start importing? I would be a customer...

The dog is definitely going to be driving our budget way up. But I'm afraid we are irrational in our affection toward our dog and if she can't come, we won't be moving. From what I've read elsewhere, it sounds like there are several parks that allow dogs (on a leash of course) and I'm not offend in ...

This is all great perspective. I appreciate the help.

Thank you. I appreciate all the feedback. It would be great to be close enough to work and all amenities so we don't need a car but since we have a big dog and want a yard, we might end up a bit further out, in which case a motorcycle might be good for my commute. Also, it would probably be easier t...

Thank you for all the feedback. The main reason we want a yard is because we are bringing our dog (~70 lb black lab mix). We'd really like to avoid having to take an elevator down to a public lobby each time to take her out so if we can get our own yard, that would be ideal. I guess we just have to ...

I am coming from the US and it looks easy to convert my US license into a Singapore license by passing the written test within the first 12 months. However, if I decide to get a motorcycle instead, is the driving test difficult? Driving tests in the US are simple but when I got my license (auto) in ...

Marina Bay is about the most expensive place to rent in the whole of Singapore (maybe except Sentosa Island). The difference in rent to a suburb 20min drive away is far greater than the cost of a daily taxi to and from work. There are also no houses at Marina Bay or anywhere near. I am sure it is u...

This is some great perspective. It is good to know a house won't necessarily break the bank. Now I guess it is just deciding if we want to deal with elevators and no yard or snakes and mosquitoes... If going the hi-rise apartment route, I assume we would look for something in/around Marina Bay to be...

My wife and I are taking a short trip to Singapore to decide whether or not to make the move. When we told the realtor that we are interested in something with a small yard if possible, she told us there is no way to get a semi-detached house or townhouse unless we are willing to spend more than $10...

Hello, I may be moving from the US to Singapore sometime in the next few months and I have a 9 yr old black lab mix that I'm worried about. I have a friend who's dog had a really bad experience on a much shorter flight and I want to do anything I can to avoid that. It sounds like PetMovers can help ...
