Living in central SG

Many coming to Singapore might be weighing the options of living on campus and renting a condo from the city center with friends. Living on campus is of course a lot cheaper and you have all the facilities you need available. The negative part is that it'll take a long time to get to the city. I made the decision to live in the city -YOLO. My condo is located between Orchard road (the street of multiple shopping centers and an endless amount of shops) and Clark Quay ( the nro.1 clubbing area). So even if I say it myself: not bad at all! And the condos in Singapore aren't all that bad; they normally include swimming pools and gyms. Mine has also tennis and squash courts. So if you prefer living in the heart of the city you should consider a condo. You'll share it with about 5 other people, but hey, that'll just be your SG family. The best case scenario you will have a blast - I got lucky. It's also nice to live in a condo for pre-drinks! ;)

I personally love living in the heart of the city. It's only a quick walk home from most of the clubs during nights (that's when you really appreciate it!) or a 5min cab drive. As i earlier said, the MRT's and busses are fairly well organized. It's quite humid during the days, but if you can stand the heat I recommend you to go for a run to Fort Canning park and continue to the riverside from Clark Quay to Marina Bay. I wouldn't say that its a boring jogging route ! =) Getting back to SG nightlife, wednesdays are called ladies' nights - I you don't belong to the right gender, this isn't your lucky day. Some clubs have really nice offers for girls! (read free drinks all night) Singapore has many pretty nice rooftop bars too. If you happen to be here during the national day Ku De Ta or 1-Altitude offer a nice view to the fireworks.
