Singapore Expats

Hi i'v just arrived in singapore, and found that you hardly see black people around. are there any about?? if so holla back and we could organise something.

finally....yes there is at least one fellow soul here...

Actually, there is a community of blacks here in Singapore it's just that they maintain a rather low profile. There is a pub in Little India near Mustafa's that is a primary hangout for a number of blacks. (The name of the pub escapes me but I'm sure if you go to Mustafa's or some of the places around there they could direct you to the place - it was written up in the local rag at some point early this year if I remember correctly). From what I gather they are primarily from S.African, Nigeria, and some of the other Countries of Africa. There are a sprinkling of Black Americans and Brits here as well but you would probably have to check out the American or British Clubs to locate them.

I am sure zhoumulian will be able to help you better than I.

nice to hear from you guys, i'm nigerian actually and male. so its obvious i'm interested in going out and meeting peeps, well girls especially. so what do you guys do to have fun?? and do you know much about this gathering, i.e what they get up to and etc???

I've met a couple of the "local" footballers from Senegal and Mali who have been here in Singapore for more than a decade - having been recruited for football training when they were ~15-16.

That's the one.

The higher end African Restuarants are theme restaurants more than they are restaurants that cater to Africans.

Are you looking for a boyfriend or an infatuation?

Bit scary when you base your relationship choice on nationality rather than what the person is like.

Hi there

My boyfriend has been in Malaysia for 3 yrs and he is always saying that he is missing Nigerian foods. We tried some in Malaysia and they were not up to his expectation.
