Shaunak, let me share this with you. My parents decided to move to
Singapore when I was a 15-year-old. My dad's initial contract was for two years, but we ended up staying four years.
These four years were pretty much the best years of my life. I had an absolutely fantastic time, it was an awesome experience. I realized there's another way of life that the one I was used to and I made countless friends, some of whom are close buddies to this day. Being immersed in a different culture and a peaceful multicultural one at that, in my view, is irreplaceable.
Yes, all good things must come to an end, and the goodbyes were a bit of a tearful affair. But I'd love to do it all over again.
Sure, I'm aware that the experience of one does not a consensus make. But whenever my Singapore friends meet up, every single one of them reminesces fondly about our time as expat kids. The experience is priceless.
My bet is that you're having a great time in
Singapore. If you're reading this, let us know eh.
Cheers.
