Hong Kong to Singapore!
Hong Kong to Singapore!
Hello peeps. 30 yr old guy here looking to make the most of that which Singa has to offer. I'll be working in the Raffles area in finance (how predictable huh?) There's a ton of useful info on this website, thanks for that. Looking forward to knockin back a couple of beers with anyone thats interested when I get there.

Why is that predictable? I don't work in Raffles area in finance and I daresay probably most here don't.

SOME PEOPLE TRY TO TURN BACK THEIR ODOMETERS. NOT ME. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHY I LOOK THIS WAY. I'VE TRAVELED A LONG WAY, AND SOME OF THE ROADS WEREN'T PAVED. ~ Will Rogers
Ah, I should have mentioned the industry of work I'd be in. Apologies. I told someone here in Hong Kong of my foray into Singapore, when asked what area I'd be working out of, they gave me the impression that most, if not all banks and financial institutions were based within the Raffles area. The Singaporean counterpart to Hong Kong's "Central" if you will... In Hong Kong, an expat finance professional can expect to find himself working, eating, if not living in and around the central district 9 out of 10 times. Hence the predictability factor.
Having said that, it's been 8 years since I was last in Singapore and surely things have changed? Cant wait to hit the ground running soon!

Hi There
Glad to know that as I am working in Raffles area too...can meet up for a couple of bear too. Been thinking of moving to Hong Kong for quite sometime, perhaps we can discuss more.
