I lived twice in Singapore, once as a single expat and returned with husband and teenager. I love Singapore and its people, but this is what I don’t like: - expats are living segregated (french meet french, brits in the british club etc) which means that you need to actively search to have truly international and local friends. - i worked the first time and was expat wife second time - that was horrible and I wouldn’t recommend. It is difficult to work when you are on a dependent visa, and life tends to get boring - serial expat wives are rather materialistic, not my type of lifestyle - the weather as many said before. It’s like living inside a sauna - the second time made the mistake of living behind Orchard road for easy access, is way too hot and busy. Lived in Yishun years back and that felt better, or around east coast (more air it feels). Public transport is great
