WELCOME NOTE

Whether you’ve just landed or have called this little red dot “home” for many years, we’re thrilled to be by your side as you discover a city that’s reinvigorated and reborn!

Like all other big cities, Singapore is a living organism – it evolves constantly, adapting and shedding its skin. That’s why the pages of our City Guide aren’t just for the newbies. While we’re eager to welcome the new families and solo settlers arriving in SG from near and far, we can guarantee that “old hands” will also find fresh ideas and inspiration – whether it’s funky furniture for your home, how to get great vino on speed dial or the latest in medical care.

We have info on all of the above in the guide – and much more! If you need pointers for the property hunt or could use first-hand advice from parents on choosing a school, we’ve got you covered. Take us when you’re out and about, too – we’ll guide you on gorgeous hikes and trails, show you Singapore’s cultural side, and give you tips for dining, shopping and where to treat yourself to a spot of pampering.

And, as always, we have the inside scoop from our Panel, a group of EL readers who’ve provided feedback across a wide range of topics, from neighbourhood insights to opening a bank account and getting fit. (Thanks for your help, panellists!)

Beyond these pages, there are other ways we can assist. For one thing, each issue of our monthly print magazine is jam-packed with recommendations and reflections from readers like you. You’ll hear about their homes, hobbies, jobs, schools and more.

Meanwhile, our website (expatliving.sg) covers the Singapore experience from top to toe. We meet inspiring locals and expats, sample new bars and restaurants, and update you on family health, homeware stores, upcoming events and product launches.

Finally, be sure to stay in touch with us on Facebook and Instagram @expatlivingsg, or email info@expatliving.sg with any question under the sun.
