    A singaporean told me about their botanical garden. Yuppies tend to stay there at night. Usually mag boyfriend. Yung dalawang ulo nagiging isa pag gabi =) and worst (better?) minsan nag kalat daw condom doon =)
    parang sa luneta park lang ah.

    But hard for guys to get wives since the girls demand the 5 (I think) C's:
    Car
    Cash
    Condo
    I forgot the other C's but that's what the people told me when I was there.

    CREDIT CARD(S), yeah true, Singaporean gurls are too materialistic.

    Singapore Law is strictly implemented, no exemptions. Yan ang maganda dun kaya people will abide by the rules otherwise may pupuntahan sila. Nice to live there though medyo boring that's why Singaporeans take a Holiday out of the country at least once a year to relax. What I like there most is the FOOD, sarap kumain dun and a lot of varieties as well, Chinese Foods, Indican Foods, Malay Foods. What I don't like is the weather, it's like summer all year round.

    Living in Singapore is exciting in the first 3 months, after that boring na. kasi iyung lang ng iyon mapupuntahan mo or train ka papuntang Malaysia. I worked there for almost a year. Bored na ako after 3 months, I realized maliit nga ang Singapore and surroundings are all artificial and standard of living is relatively high. The communities are safe though there are petty crimes like snatching and holdup sa loob mismo ng mga elevator ng mga Condo units.

    actually may nasakyan kaming taxi na pinaikot-ikot muna kami sa village bago kami dalin don sa pupuntahan namin. umabot kami ng 9 sgd which is dapat nasa 5 lang. kaya pala sabi nung pupuntahan namin malapit lang daw yung from mrt. eh inabot kami ng 20 mins ata sa byahe. the 2nd time around tama nga, mga 10 mins away lang sila sa mrt and nasa 5sgd lang talaga. mukhang mabait pa naman yung driver kasi ma kwento. haha

    Been to Singapore a few times. Disiplinado ang tao, pero masusungit at hindi marunong ngumiti. Malinis ang kapaligiran. Sentosa is one great place. Ang ganda din ng zoo sa Singapore. Ganda din dun sa Oceanarium at dun sa Sungei Buloh park. As far as shopping goes, madaming magaganda pero IMHO, mahal.

    Better to bring cash (whether peso, SGD or USD) as long as its within the legal limits (unless you plan to do a Gen. Garcia or EU General gimmik) :D and convert when needed. If you withdraw at the ATMs (i.e. BPI through Cirrus) you'll be spending for additional fees as well.

    bring cash. convert to USD first here, then to whichever country's local currency you are in. mas lugi if convert directly from peso.

    mas maganda bring SGD na para isang conversion lang. unless may USD ka na. mas lugi ka pag Peso to USD to SGD. mas maganda rin rate sa mga money changers ka magpapalit dun

    mahal nga ang cost of living dun. I declined a job offer there last year although the offered salary is higher than average.

    My Aunt lives there and she's happy about Singapore's way of life. Maraming pagkakaiba daw talaga compared dito sa PI pero syempre, sana huwag pa rin nating ibaba ang sariling atin. We're still hoping for the better. :D
