Don't work in Singapore without a work permit. If they catch you, you will be in serious trouble.

Just as a FYI to people: There is a Work Holiday Programme that people from certain countries (US, UK, Germany, among others) can apply for that lasts six months and is non-renewable for 'student type work'.

Also, from my own personal experience, if you have a sponsor company getting a Work Permit is easy and fast. When my company applied for me it took about 48 hours for the application to be approved.

I'm down for sure. As of right now my experiences include hawker stands, Plaza Singapur and work. I don't know if any of those three things appeal to you guys. You guys have any suggestions? Some pool, maybe a beer? Regardless, I work a little east of Chinatown and live a little west of Hougang.

You really should if you're here, imho. Who doesn't love free-flow beer?

hello singagoons! I've been in singapore for over a week now, and I'm kind of liking the place. any suggestions for places to drink really really cheaply ? I feel like my SEA-inspired drinking habit is kind of hampered by your horribly expensive alcohol..

If you feel like being trashy, bring store-bought alcohol and drink it at the Clarke Quay bridge. It's all good there.

Is that bridge a sort of refuge for legal public drinking?

I would say so although the 'don't do anything that would get you thrown out of a bar' principle still applies. But store-brought drink: Sure, go ahead. Also a lot of sociable young students and interns hang there so if you want to expand your network the bridge is not a terrible place for that.

Street-food is cheaper than $7 and it is delicious. Singaporeans love food and they cater to just about any flavor there (with a wide price range depending on what you want).

I wouldn't worry about being a hispanic in Singapore.

Edit: I would say the weather in Singapore in August is around 30 degrees C and sunny. It's always pretty humid there though.
