Watching Bizarre Food w Andrew Zimmern and he is in Singapore. Seems like a magical place.
How hard is it to land a gig there? Cost of living, quality of life etc....

expensive to live there but if you get a good job it's amazing. apparently. i've got a few friends there and that's what they say. the bastards.

they cane you for spray-painting bad graffiti

Expensive? I supposed if compared to our neighbours like Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, then yeah, we're expensive. You just gotta know where to look for your stuff.

we actually have an opening for a senior designer right now...
other than that, the magic wears off pretty fast.

It does look fun, Andrew Zimmern is great - he's got more balls than I have when it comes to eating crazy stuff though - I'll eat anything thats not meat, which kinda cuts out the really foul stuff.

it's one of the top ten most expensive cities in the world. imagine living here my whole life. a cigarette pack of 20 sticks cost about 8usd.

I would say not too hard. make sure you can get a visa... food is probably the best food in the world there cause they have a little bit of all asian cultures. That's also what makes it so unique. Cost of living is pretty high.

One of the most creative place to be in. Some of the best advertising comes from Singapore

I freaking love Singapore. It's probably the least "asian" city you'll see in Asia but it's still an amazing place. And yes, the food is mind blowing.

The food in Singapore is fantastic, but the city itself I find a little sterile.

where is the good food in singapore?

try http://is.gd/1Hnes or http://is.gd/1HnFG
there are of course places we call "tourists trap" like newton hawker center, where they jack up the prices of normal dishes as much as three folds. a simple google job is all you need.

I have always threatened my wife that i would move the family there as I have always loved singapore, plus its close to Perth.
So...design job sites?

I went to work in Singapore last year for about 2 months and I hated the place! Would't go back there if you paid me.
