Ouch man, I've had a couple of experiences in other country with real shitty agents, it's a whole different level!
But to be fair, the one in Singapore was referred to me by my firm, I can't talk for all of them.
Hi Jess, in my experience finding apartment is very easy once you're on the ground as the real estate agents are extremely helpful in driving you around. Additionally east coast shouldn't be an issue as there are quite a few developments there.
IMHO it's quite difficult around here. You'll hear a lot of of 6-months old billboard top 20 and the live scene is very limited.
Extremely nice bars however and some ok clubs, but you need the money to pay for the alcohol.
Hey, I would be happy grabbing an after-work drink with you, but preferably if there's some other guys involved because I don't want to be the only one paying for entry!
