Tips and advice to thrive in Singapore

Singapore, with its mix of people and cultures, English as common language and well organised, modern amenities is "Asia light" - and as such probably the easiest place in the continent to get used to and feel comfortable in.
Of course the usual caveats for integrating in a foreign environment apply:
- Have an open mind
- Expect the unexpected
- Do accept, not judge
(If the locals are doing it like that, it must be the right way to do it here.)

I was in Singapore during the Malayisian experience as well in the late 80's
It's a greatCity State and I found delight with the ChineseSingapores very proud and elegant .
To me your Banking center is very open and informing
As an American the embassy is my first stop then finding the expats and buying a condo near Santiso etc etc

After 8 weeks in a hotel we got a house and moved in. One of the advantages of that has been the online shopping companies. Well worth searching the net for these as the prices can be a lot better particularly for your favourite alcohol.
