I maybe preaching to the converted here......
but if this helps just one person, then I am happy !
If you are considering moving to Singapore, starting to look for accommodation etc, then have you checked checked Google Maps?
I often use Google Maps when planning a holiday (where I can also view images of the area) or even when I want to go for a walk at the weekend.... for walking I switch from map mode to satellite mode so I can view the park areas etc....
but I digress, if apartment hunting, then try the maps and see what its like around the area you are thinking of:
http://maps.google.com/maps
then click to "adding content to My Maps"
you can view a video clip on adding content to your map....... condo's or homes you have found in Singapore that you may want to look at later. Places close by, Rail Stations etc... even restaurants.
Hope this little bit of info helps just one person that is moving over here!!!!
