Try going to a rock concert here, the audience just stand there motionless. It is pretty weird to behold!fly2sneha wrote:I moved in a month ago and I miss liveliness here, maybe because I dont have friends here. The country seems too orderly and there is absolutely no scope for any adventure![]()

This might help you with the language http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw0iNAX00zAfoxinabox wrote:Thanks for your insight, I really appreciate it. I don't think it should be a big problem. I work in an MNC and my company has agreed to sponsor my transition to the Singapore office as well. However it seems that the office would consist of mostly locals and very few expats, if any...not sure if that will carry any implications for me.

Flagrantly off-topic there Aster. The OP asked what people miss, not why you should love SG.aster wrote:At the end of the day there's more things to miss when leaving Singapore than when coming here.
I mean heck, it's warm here all year round, there is not a day in the entire year where it would be too cold to wear shorts and a t-shirt, you probably have the best airport and airline in the world at your doorstep, you can drink beer wherever you please without getting cuffed for it, the food is great... and your favourite car brand includes a driver, washing the car, insuring it, pouring fuel in it... I think it's called Taxi or something like that but it comes in various colours. Oh, and crime is quite low.
Probably I would only miss food and Changi AP from your list. Never been tempted to drink beer on the street/park so this somehow does not work for me. The crime level, yes, but I do not feel really insecure outside Singapore and actually the only time in my life something was stolen from me was here - the low crime level makes you less vigilant.aster wrote:At the end of the day there's more things to miss when leaving Singapore than when coming here.

I would say is just opposite - you start missing ppl, things, places only after some timerevhappy wrote: The first few months its natural that you will start missing stuff from your home country, any place would be like that.
That's kind of funny because we like Indian food very much and normally when we eat out we go to an Indian restaurant over here. When we finally went to India we expected to find ourselves like in a food heaven and ended up very disappointed. It was a short stay (less then 2 weeks) so of course only some screening but all what we got there was at best the same and often worse from what we had in Singapore with the difference that here it was made from noticeably better quality ingredients (esp. meat).revhappy wrote: I get everything here that I get in India. Plenty of Indian food and you dont have to break an arm or leg for it, like you would have to do in US, Aus or UK.
Haha, maybe the constant food inflation in India that is taking a toll on the businesses and they need to cut costs by reducing quality. There is just way to much demand there than the supply, especially Bangalore.x9200 wrote: That's kind of funny because we like Indian food very much and normally when we eat out we go to an Indian restaurant over here.
