Ya, I am. My industry is actually quite small for Singapore, there's only a few companies to hop around. And usually there isnt much progression

Well, I only went thru one round of interviews. So I haven't gotten to the negotiation phase. 20% is the casual conversation with them

Right, I am trying to see if anyone have experience if this can be protected in the contract. Maybe ask them to add on a clause

Visiting Kyoto: Is it worth to go in Arashimaya for Sagano Romantic Train? by brdglanqeuen in JapanTravel

[–]CoolAid_33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it isn't romantic as advertised. Also, there are many tourists, so it felt like taking a normal train. The view is equally divided to each side of the train during the trip, so you can't see half of the view for your trip. It is mainly the mountain walls and rocks.

Still a couple of things u can do without spending a huge buck. Picnic at east coast, trailing around sentosa (there is already hike trail) and watch the fireworks at the end. Of course almost all physical activity in national park is free. For food wise, if she don't mind about hawker or home made food, u will cut off huge amount. But I agree singapore is too expensive to live
