All the expats I've talked to in Singapore (which is 5+) from Europe and US complain Singapore is too small and doesn't provide enough entertainment. So they get bored and leave after 3-5 years.

I used to live in Southeast Asia and learned you can never truly feel at home due to visa rules and the homogeneous culture.

I loved my time there and encourage others to go, but I'd caution if you're trying to throw down roots.




What kind of entertainment? I find entertainment in Singapore is very 'manufactured' and prefer the UK. People don't have to be limited to Singapore, travelling to other Asian countries is very cheap.
