Life in Singapore

It's been almost a month i moved from India to Singapore and life is completely different here. I am still trying to adjust to the life style of Singaporeans. This country is always on shopping spree and you will see people shopping on sunday midnight. The train stations in Singapore are always crowded and the subway train system is very amateur when you compare with Deutschland or Britain.

There are less trains here and crowded everytime .Sometime i think that how could 6 million inhabitants survive in this small island. There are some lovely beaches around and spending your leisure time in Singapore is far more easier than in Europe. In europe holidays are seasonal but singaporeans enjoy every weekend like a holiday!

In terms of usage of technology, Singapore is obsessed with technology. You could get every new electronic gadgets at a very cheap price and may be it is because most of the goods here are coming from china and taiwan.

Multi ethinicity is onething which you would admire in Singapore and you could see a chinese temple and Hindu temple and a mosque in a street and sometimes it look a bit absured but it adds a flavor to Singapore culture.

Food is onething which i have to talk abt when it comes to singapore. Singapore has food courts everywhere and you will find these multi cuisine food courts arranged in a stylish fashion throughout Singapore. I like to eat there but somehow i am eating only Indian. Have to try the rest soon...

About my work and company, i am working for a swiss bank which is one of the leading banks in the world. My office is situated in One Raffles Link building which is located in the heart of singapore. This place is also called as Raffles Place, it is a city with interconnected buildings and you will find everything on earth here, from offices to hospitals to shopping malls to railway stations.

About my experience at office and my weekend pass time, i will update in my next blog msg. stay tune to the blog untill then good bye!
