Shopping is second only to eating as a national pastime, which means that Singapore has an abundance of shopping malls, and low taxes and tariffs on imports coupled with huge volume mean that prices are usually very competitive. Most stores are open 7 days a week from 10 AM until 9 PM, although smaller operations (particularly those outside shopping malls) close earlier — 7 PM is common — and perhaps on Sundays as well. Keep an eye out for the Great Singapore Sale, usually held in June-July, when shopping centres pull out all stops to attract punters. Many stores along the shopping belt of Orchard Road and Scotts Road now offer late night shopping on the last Friday of every month with over 250 retailers staying open till midnight. Public transport operating hours will also be adjusted on these particular Fridays.

Singapore public buses are operated by the Singapore Bus Service (SBS). The public buses run daily from 5.30 am to midnight. These are full-day scheduled bus services with prominent fixed boarding/alighting point known as bus-stops. The start and end point for every service is at the bus interchange, which is typically at a high-traffic area such as the centre of a housing estate.

Buses connect various corners of Singapore. SBS Transit, Singapore’s largest bus company, has a useful bus route finder on their home page, but it does not show services run by competitor SMRT, which has its own search system.

Singapore is a melting pot bubbling over with tourists, inhabitants and expatriates from all parts of the world, and these people naturally have diverse eating habits. Through the ages, the Chinese, Malay, Indians and the foreigners (westerners) have cast their influence on Singapore’s food recipes and there is no doubt that Singapore is a food lovers’ paradise.

Singaporeans love to eat out and there is a feast of multicultural cuisine waiting for them in restaurants and especially in hawker centers and food courts. Here is a list of the major types of foods you can feast on in Singapore:

When you are planning to work in Singapore, whether it will be a so-called ‘local’ company or a foreign branch, one has to have a valid employment pass. There is quite a number of visas one could apply for. It is the company you are going to work for which has to apply your employment pass. Your type of visa depends on the type of contract you sign. Applications for employment passes are dealt with by the Ministry of Manpower.

* Employed by a company: Normal employment pass, short term pass and training pass. A work permit is needed for persons going to work in Singapore with a salary lower than S$2,500 and a Employment pass is needed for persons with a salary exceeding S$2,500.
* Self employed: The correct pass for being self employed in Singapore is the Employment Pass for Entrepreneurs. This pass has to be applied at the Ministry of Manpower as well.

1. You don’t want to put down a huge lump-sum deposit at this moment.

-If you are struggling to save for a deposit, then ownership is not an option for you at the present moment. Renting would be a smarter choice.

2. You do not want to deal with continual maintenance costs and ownership responsibilities.

-If you have a rental property, the responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of the property mostly falls on your landlord. However, if you purchase a property, you immediately take on upkeep and maintenance responsibilities. Bummer!
