For those of you whose hearts lie set on a holiday in China, take this as your impetus to begin planning. It looks as if our family will move to Singapore in January.
Nothing is set in stone, and we learned from the move to China that its best to complete all negotiations before setting our hearts and wallets on changing homes. Still, it seems as if the right people are in support of this. And now that we know how to negotiate an overseas assignment, we should be able to take better control this time around.
So, if you've always wanted to visit China, this may be your last chance - at least with free lodging on offer.
If you've wanted to visit Asia but found China too intimidating, this will be your chance. Singapore is a very Western city, by Asian standards. Most people speak English, the city is clean and well cared for, and the variety of food is wonderful. Chinese food is popular, but so is Indian, southeast Asian and Western. For you China wimps, once we're in Singapore you'll have no excuse not to visit.
Except, maybe, the flight. Shanghai to Chicago was a measley 14 hours. Singapore to Chicago may surpass 24!
