Singapore - first impressions



It's been almost 2 months now since I moved to Singapore and it has been great so far. Being here is a very refreshing change from the middle east, no doubt! One great aspect is definitely the weather, unlike Dubai it allows me to step out of the house and do something. Though it pours like crazy on sometimes, most of the days the weather is quite pleasant and very welcoming....


Singapore, which is a city as well as a country on its own is a very small place. It will probably take just 45mins by train to go from one end of the country to the other. So you can reach any place nearby just walking around. The public transport - MRT, buses and cabs are extremely efficient and easily accessible, hence there is no real need to own a car (well, even if you want to, it is just not affordable here!). In addition, the city is very clean, green and nice and walking is a great pleasure!


We live very close to the East Coast Park (which is to the south of singapore and is along the beach which is well maintained) so the beach is just a few minutes walk from home :) Not to forget the beautiful sea view from the balcony, looking at which gives immense peace and calmness to the mind! I absolutely love this place....hope it gets better as the days and months pass by!
