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

Thanks guys that's the one. Great site SMS!

Any other singapore-related sites you guys find useful? in my bookmarks i had at least a dozen different restaurant/meal delivery sites but can't remember most of them.

Hi, I recently lost my bookmarks and I had a website on there I got off of these forums, I believe it was one of the poster's sites. It had a ton of helpful links for expats from everything including banks, moving services, schools, etc. Also, I had a bunch of other sites bookmarked about singapore ...

ksl, I'd be interested in trying vinegar for health reasons as well. Can you suggest a brand and where to get it? I went to one Chinese 'health' store near my office and they just had one apple vinegar drink, not sure if it was the ideal type or what.

Hi, I'm covered by Empire BlueCross/BlueShield by my company in New York. They have a network of doctors here in Singapore but I've called a few and all of them will bill me for the treatment and I will have to send the claim in to Empire. Does anyone else have this insurance? Are there any doctors ...

Hi all, I'm new to this part of the forum. I prefer not to give my real name in public so hedgie is fine for now :) I'm an Indian but born and raised in the States (some people call us ABCDs!). We're north Indian, parents are from Delhi and UP. I've been in Singapore for about 7 months now and work ...

1. What time do you get up? Around 6am on weekdays but sometimes sleep until the afternoon on weekends 2. If you could eat lunch with one person, who would it be? A hot supermodel 3. Gold or Silver? Gold obviously 4. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Can't remember, it was back when I wa...

Agree with jpa, some more information would make it easier to answer. I was very worried about moving to Singapore. I had visited a number of times for business but would just have meetings all day and never really got a sense of the city. Now that I'm here I love it. It's a really beautiful city an...

Unfortunately my search hasn't progressed at all because my real estate agent and I haven't been able to get together yet. He also hasn't found out if my current landlord will let me get out of my contract. I have around 1.5 years left on it but considering rents have increased I'm hoping they let m...

I'm just curious as to what people get in their expat packages. I work for finance related firm based in the States that has no formal human resources department or expat program, in fact I'm the first one from the firm to live/work overseas while working there. So it's been hard for me to gauge wha...

I'm an Indian guy born and raised in the States who moved here several months ago. I am thinking of moving from my current apartment in the Clarke Quay area and was wondering if there are any areas that are popular with other Indian expats from the States, UK, India, etc. Someone told me they think ...

Agreed - nice catch sms! I live near the Clarke Quay Audio House and after I read that post I was thinking I didn't recall the prices there being anything great. For the original poster I would scrap your current TV and just buy a nice new LCD here in Singapore. I bought a large 42" one a couple of ...

I've been very disappointed about the quality of service here in Singapore as well. I moved from the States several months ago and from what I've heard and my numerous past trips to Asia I've always loved the great quality of service. What I've noticed in Singapore after living here now is this - sa...

I can't speak to specific brands but I'm an American who recently moved here. Cold Storage has a pretty narrow selection on virtually everything, a better grocery store to check would be Carrefour (I go to the one at Plaza Singapura or Suntec) or Giant Hypermarket which is at Marina Square Mall amon...

Thanks Marlowe, the executive bus idea sounds perfect for the commute. I've found one building so far online that is right in the area I want and looks pretty good, it's also right near a bus stop with the No. 10 bus and a few others that stop at Raffles Quay (very near my office). I am hoping that ...

Hi all. I moved here from the States last year and actually used a real estate agent from this website to find my apartment. I'm currently living in the River Valley area but am finding I don't like it that much. I've visited the East Coast area (near Siglap Centre) on a couple of occasions and real...
