Safety

Singapore is a country with a very low crime rate. The laws are very strict, there are even the death penalty acts (distribution of narcotic drugs, murder under aggravating circumstances), and for many of the crimes is provided caning. Therefore, while walking late at night in the park, you do not have to be afraid. Here you will be surprised by the pace of development and construction. Singapore is changing every day.

Cars and roads

I should mention the cost of private cars in Singapore, this fact surprises all visitors. The cost of cars is very high. Yes it's very expensive, but residents do not stand for hours in traffic on the roads, drive high quality roads and have a highly developed public transport.

Cleanliness

You will be very pleased with cleanliness around (for garbage are provided serious penalties). And even if it is a heavy rain outside, you can safely go in white trousers and sandals - clothing and feet will be clean.

Weather

And summer is all year round. Here you do not think about the wardrobe. You put on what you want depending on your mood.

Loneliness?

Singapore is generally unique country in this regard. There are no indigenous people, the ancestors of the Singaporeans once moved here from China, India, Europe and other countries. Singapore is a very cosmopolitan city where different cultures religions coexist peacefully. Here is celebrated Christmas, Chinese New Year, the Indian Deepavali and Hari Raya Puasa Muslim - the end of Ramadan.

Job

Arriving in Singapore by a tourist visa and finding a job is extremely difficult, simply may have not enough time. Most people came here on a contract or by receiving a transfer from the company. I would recommend you to look for a job in advance. You can also come to study, for example, enrolling in language courses that will give you a student visa for a period of 3 months. During this time, you can meet people, know the city better and to decide how to proceed.

Place for living

As for housing, in general, everything is easy. Important - you must have a work visa, without it you simply do not sign the contract. Luckily Singapore has a lot of visa agencies that will help you with it. The cost of renting and buying is quite high. To rent two-bedroom apartments you will have to pay from 2200 Singapore dollars in a HDB (public housing). If you want a swimming pool, gym and barbeque on the territory of your apartment complex you will have to pay $ 3,200. Buying real estate starts at a million dollars.

Definitely Singapore has its pros and cons and making the choice of living there is up to you. But without a doubt Singapore has a lot of attracts as a great place for living.
