Singapore

[David]

Woah, I never knew that Singapore was…

the 10th most expensive city in the world in which to live.
the 3rd most expensive Asian city to live in, after Japanese cities Tokyo and Osaka
the 5th wealthiest country in the world in terms of GDP (PPP) per capita

Pretty cool place. How is it living there? o.O I thought quite a few on MMOT lives there. :O

lol

That doesn’t estimate the GDP per capita, but rather overall GDP. I think.

[David]

+ Beijing is NOT an expensive city to live in. Depends on what housing your looking for. >>;

[Chameleon]

My friend was born in Singapore 😀

I heard Singapore is one of the cleanest cities. Apparently, they fine you for spitting in public.

Singapore is special. It’s both a city and country. Amazing. They get no GDP from Primary industries.

@FF: Common misconception. I think there IS such a law, whether or not it gets enforced is another story.

We’ve got a few Singaporeans here. Zhlink, Sil and I, if memory serves.

I’m pretty sure it’s by capita, David -_- And who said anything about Beijing?

I’ll leave the rest to talk about Singapore. My national pride got knocked a bit after my stint in the compulsory military service.

[Zhlink]

Repty and Fenrir are Singaporeans too, if I’m not wrong.

I’d like to visit Singapore one day. Who wants to come?

[Imppala]

Me. I visit Singapore every morning when I wake up =P

Dang, you beat me to it.

You don’t so much as visit as reside here, silly. XD

There’s Repty and Greenday and uh. Fenrir/Merovign. Can’t think of anymore offhand.

Oh. And Devilrymage, if you’d remember him.

…Living here is… safe? Air’s okay, water’s clean, infrastructure is sound (Yay for unlimited broadband~), you can go from one end of the island to the other in about two hours, west to east. It’s small, which makes it convenient to visit anywhere. Technology’s good, education system is not bad even though it’s constantly trying to get more difficult each time the Minister of Education changes (Kids are learning in secondary school what I learnt in Pre-U). Guys get um, kidnapped? into 2 years of National Service at age 18.

Oh. And the food. <3 Lotsa good food. Though you might want to check where you buy your rojak from.

Frankly I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else, but I don’t have a basis for comparison, so yeah. :X

…Though I do wish we have our animated movie releases at the same pace as in USA. I have to wait until SEPTEMBER to watch Coraline, whereas you guys have it released in like, Feb 6. -_- Same case for Wall-E. I gave up and watched that online instead.

[Imppala]

Comics, too. I want to live in Japan. Failing which, Taiwan. Based on speed of manga releases, anyway -_-

[David]

Seems like such a better place to live than the United States though. ;_; Or china.

Beijing was in the top cities posted by AznRiceFan -points-
