Food destination #1 IMO! A grand mixture of all of the goodness that each country has to offer.. I was glad to get out of the Philippines to there..for the much better culinary..

It's difficult to find a place in singapore for 40-50 sg per night. That's 25-30 usd. A decent hotel goes for about 170 USD at least.

There are a couple of backpacking hotels for real cheap but I've never been to any of those.

The casino's will open in June. They say it's gonna open in feb but I doubt it. Don't play poker here unless you're playing in a home game. Poker isn't that hot around here and the locals won't play there since locals like myself have to pay $100 to enter and it's non-refundable. It'll be impossible to start a table.

Our food is awesome, check out all the other posts about it. Type in 'singapore street tv' in youtube and you'll see my vids about food here.

The girls are pretty if you like asian girls but are not easy. We're a conservative nation so the girls dress slutty but they are not the type which go for one night stands. Going out with them overnight etc doesn't count. If you want easy sex, look elsewhere.

No chick will look at you and smile at you if you don't do anything.

Re: Ask Me About Living in Singapore

If your main goal is having as many women as you can, I think Singapore is probably the worst place in Asia for it. The girls there seem to be the most exposed to Westerners, which hurts your novelty value, and overall very serious. I guess that is not surprising since the standard of living/education levels are so high there. Singapore is awesome but super expensive.

Re: Ask Me About Living in Singapore

Echo what the above posters said. Singaporean-Chinese girls while all loading up daddy's credit card on clothes and expensive hair to look great are not mega sloots. You can get girls just like anywhere, but it's not like shooting fish in a barrel the way some of the Thailand boys make it out to be over there. As said, it's really Asia-lite in a way.

My own pet theory on why they have red light districts and Orchard Towers even though the Gov't are nits about stupid **** like chewing gum is that they don't want westerners to defile their own so they bring in girls from all the poor surrounding countries as maids/service workers/whores

Re: Ask Me About Living in Singapore

I don't think that is the reason. The local men are far more likely to participate in those zones than a Westerner. I think it is allowed because it is logical. Prostitution is tolerated everywhere that I know of in Asia.

Zoo. Far east plaza, orchard road. Seoul garden.

Are you a foodie? Visiting with your GF/wife/mates?

If you like, feel free to PM and I wouldn't mind showing you around. I'm a magician so I've got lots of on and off periods.

The casinos in Singapore will not spread poker. This really sucks but it's good for the local players anyway as we'd have to pay a $100 entry fee just to enter the damn place.

The only poker that's spread in the casino is something called 'Singapore Stud Poker'. I'm guessing it's something you play against the house so it's stupid. Don't bother.
