In Australia and the UK, Ebay is really popular and everyone seems to use it to buy and sell new and used goods. From what I've seen Ebay in Singapore isn't very popular at all... do Singaporeans/Expats just not really use online auction sites? I want to sell some second hand goods, and buy reasonab...

Hi Am trying to work out if there will be any big fireworks displays for CNY. Have searched the web and found there will be a display at Chinatown on Sunday night, but I thought there might be something on at Marina Bay similar the lunar New Year display? We were hoping to go down to East Coast Park...

I'm looking for somewhere fairly quiet to celebrate New Years Eve with my boyfriend... we were thinking of going to East Coast Park with a picnic and a bottle of bubbly to watch the flares go off on the ships at New Years. Are we actually allowed to bring our own alcohol to drink at the ECP though? ...

We just signed up a beautiful, spacious 2 bedroom condo with 1000 sq feet for $2600/mth. It is on the East Coast, District 15. You can easily get a good condo on the Upper East Coast for this price.

I'm also interested in buying a bike in Singapore (for leisure not to commute to work!). Where is a good place to buy one, and how much would I expect to pay for a simple bike with a few gears etc?

Funny, I heard that shoes were cheap and plentiful in Singapore? I have size 7 feet (US size I think)... would that be a problem fitting into most Singapore shoes?

Hi We're moving to Singapore in a few weeks, and don't have any kids. I was wondering what it is really like living in a HDB flat as an Expat, I know they are cheaper than condos but don't have the condo facilities (Gym, Pool, tennis court). We are looking to live on the East Coast in a 2 bedroom pl...

How much does it cost for a coffee in Sing eg. regular cappuccino there? I heard coffee cost a lot more than in NZ.

Moving to Singapore soon, this being a coffee thread, thought I'd ask

Cripes, I just looked at the duty free allowances, and I'm only allowed 1L of spirits! In NZ we are allowed 3 bottles! How much would I have to pay extra if I bought more bottles in? I'm assuming it would be worthwhile.How much would say a bottle of Gordons Gin, or Smirnoff Vodka be in the stores in...

Hi there

Am moving to Singapore from NZ with my Aussie partner in a few weeks. This post was fantastic for finding out what essentials are expensive or hard to get in Singapore. We don't have kids, which makes it easier!

Hope to catch up with some of you over there

Hi I'm moving to Singapore in a few weeks (from New Zealand). I've heard the price of beer and wine is stupidly expensive in Singapore. Generally, how much would it cost for a pint of beer or glass of wine at a bar/restaurant (not an expensive bar)? How much for wine or beer at the supermarket/liquo...
