Western conveniences
Many people think of living in Singapore that you end up in a complete Asian environment. Logically, Singapore is the heart of Southeast Asia. Nothing is less true. Singapore cannot be compared to many other countries in Asia. The city is in fact very developed.
Everything is tightly arranged in Singapore. For example, public transport is arranged down to the last detail. Having a delay is really exceptional. The (high) roads are also in perfect condition.
Singapore is Safe and Health
In Singapore a lot of money is also spent on medical research and the hospitals, general practices and dentists etc. are really good. Many doctors study abroad (America, England, Australia), so the quality is simply high.
The Asian influences
Living in Singapore may be comparable to living in other large western cities. Fortunately there are also many Asian influences. The official language is not only English, but also Hindi, Chinese and Malaysian. Everything is broadcast or described in these languages. This way you learn some words from other languages.
Because people live so much outside, many rituals are performed outside during holidays. For example: Music is made, people make sacrifices on the street and fun things are organized. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Lifestyle:
It is not a holiday destination for a long stay, but it is the perfect stop where you can transfer for your trip to other Asian countries, or perhaps for a trip to Australia or New Zealand. As majority of the population, about 80%, live in an apartment building. That was a common consideration, so that as much public green space as possible would remain. Therefore it is always not easy to rent a room in Singapore . So better if you always book a hotel or room in advance for your convenience.
