Tips for new expats moving to Singapore from Norway? 

Singapore is a great place to live!

Before choosing the area in which you will live think about your daily needs and if you prefer the city, living by the ocean or elsewhere. If you won’t have a car, find a place to live that is close to public transportation. If you haven’t been to Singapore before, spend a week in advance and get to know some of the areas.

Download Comfort Taxi and Grab Taxi app as soon as you arrive.

Favourite weekend activities in Singapore? 

We like to cycle and walk around the city. There are a lot of cinemas in Singapore and the prices are low. We also enjoy visiting the beach at Sentosa, which is very nice as well.
