Singapore: Singapore: Holland Village

Holland Village

Worth visiting!

This is where I live

I grew up in little India area, got pretty tired of it, and always wanted to live in another area for a different feel. I have always been attracted by the bohemia feeling that Holland Village can offer; charming neighbourhood and a chic suburban feeling ;) You can find almost everything here, right from tons of interesting shops, cafes, eateries, restaurants, yuppies’ bars(e.g Eski bar-extremely cold bar where you do need to wear winter wear inside), to almost every NEWSPAPER and magazine of the world can be found here.

Korea and Taiwan?

Somehow I was under the impression that it was just as expensive to live in Korea or Taiwan as it was to live in Japan or Hong Kong. My well-traveled friend, could you enlighten me as to just how wrong this impression is and why I happened to think that?

Well..

South Korea and Taiwan are equally expensive too, but the rating over the past years always fluctuate very inconsistently,and it’s always among these 5 countries..I mentioned only Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan earlier because they somehow seem more prominent, cosmospolitian and internationally well known. The 4 Asia tigers are Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea btw.

And if you want to talk about cheaper shopping among these 5 countries will be Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea, not Japan and Singapore :)
