Where do different nationalities go at the weekend.

I'm amazed that whenever I go out I'm surrounded by Brits. Nothing wrong with that I'm British myself and enjoy their company. However, I'm curious...Where do all the other nationalities hang out. Where would you find a bar full of Americans, or Italians, or French, or do you not go to bars? Where do you go at the weekend? What do you do to have fun?

Sound like a nightmare. Where is it that you hang out? Is it by any chance the British Club?

Why not go down the east coast, or over to Pulau Ubin to cycle. Lovely local restaurants at the quay.

Why not join a local HDB social club, do tai whatsit...can't spell it sorry....I did when I was there, and folks are fab, esp the old ones.

Down on the eastcoast bike ride along beach is mostly local.

Avoid all expat clubs like the plague, well, what do you expect there? And also Holland Village, Wala Wala's and Sami's bar and the Colbar.

Mind you, having said all that there are tons of locals at all the above, and I love them all. Sigh. So many choices, so little time........

I might do so at my own peril, Tiki, when I get rid of this infernal spare bicycle tire. (not a wheel yet)
Alas it seems to be so tough. Hitting 40 sucks big hairy ones!

More imporatntly, what the hell is fiffer??

One of the problems I have at home is that my reply posts have to be under a minute or they timeout. So expect lots of typos and schlocky grammar...

Ah yes, the old schlocky grammar . . . As bad as winkshy spelling.

Don't know about the "others" but I hear there are a few Singaporeans here...

Okay in all seriousness, I can't imagine where you would find a bar full of anything, except in a club aimed at that group of expatriates. There are heaps of Brits here though.

Does anyone know the statistics for the nationalities of expatriates represented in Singapore - that would be vaguely interesting.

vaguely? here goes:

americans - lots.
brits - quite a lot.
australians - quite a few.
french - some.
germans - somewhat fewer.
canadians - not many.

Lovely WIMH..........have you considered politics as a job, especially here in the UK? You'd be Prime Minister in about two ticks! LOL.
