Calling Singapore PH'ers
Discussion
Dear Singapore PH'ers.
I have just returned after a week in Singpore attending ITS WC. It was my first time in Singapore and I have fallen in love with the place. What is not to like?
I loved the predictable warm, humid weather. Ok the rain is heavy, but the city was set up for this with covered walkways etc.
There is little crime, it is so clean and so cultured.
I do wonder, however, is this how i felt after a week, living in a hotel? Is this just the same feeling as i have had on my return from India, egypt, dubai? Except, i could live in Singapore. It feels safe and they drive on hte same side as we do!
What is it really like to live in Singapore? Does it get as boring as living anywhere in the world? The evenings start to get dark at 15:30 here in the UK now and its is cold and raining. This is not helping.
Is there a dark side to the place? Are there homeless and criminals? Are these hidden from visitors?
I would love to get a years posting out there one day and sort of know how to persue this. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks both. I appreciate the feedback.
I am going to put this on hold and take my wife to visit Singapore in the next 2-3 years. We can decide if it is for us, but as you have already suggested, its a holiday romance and once you have been there for a month or so, it will be the same as anywhere else in the world, except, more expensive.
Perhaps a plan for touring and visiting this area of the world in my later years could be an idea.
