New to Singapore
Discussion
A new section of the forum for me, so be gentle.
I'm arriving into Singapore tomorrow evening, my company has just bought a new build office there and I'm managing part of the fit out etc.
The office is in Raffles and I'm staying in somewhere called Wilkie Edge
It's a short trip, so I'm not planning on hiring a car.
Looking for some advice on the locations I'm in, what to see and do, where to go for a decent western meal (I don't eat Chinese, Thai etc)
Oh, and if anyone's around for a beer then that'd be good too!!

though my liver is telling me that no way can I live here full-time
Well if you insist on drinking vodka & coke all the time it will hurt No worries & see you next time!
2 week trip, though I might go to KL for a weekend, who's about for a beer or 2?

uh oh!!!
Sounds like a plan, a bit tied up this weekend, but weekdays always OK!
Yep, I'm coming with a colleague and I think we've got a couple of things on this weekend (it's the races at Kranji on Sunday and we have corporate tickets, and I think a brunch on Saturday.Sounds like a plan, a bit tied up this weekend, but weekdays always OK!
How're you (and your other half?) fixed for a drink or 2 and maybe some dinner tomorrow night?

No worries, all you missed was Del's bright idea that we should go to hooters .... and order jugs of vodka tonic .... one each
It was a bright idea, in fact it was the best idea I'd had all week!Thanks to both you and David for a good evening.... looking forward to Monday night.

I have a horrible feeling that i am going to be having some shouting matches with USA tonight and may not be able to join in!
Will keep posted however!
How was KL?
I hope not.... looks like I'm definately flying back to DXB Tuesay night so tonight's my only chance to experience OT lolWill keep posted however!
How was KL?
KL was excellent, a little more humid than Sing, but an easy city to explore, I think I hit all the highlights in 48hrs.
Your apartment's in a cracking location (the security and management guys say Hi by the way) and Thanks again for the loan of it.
I turned everything off and handed the keys back in.
KL itself actually reminds me a lot of Luanda, the same fading colonial buildings, lots of rubbish everywhere and generally a bit hectic.... good fun though.
