Smaller cities pace are slower. SG has lost it shine, it just a commerce city! QoL will be great if u are wealthy. If u want peace, u can take your yacht out to sea or just fly off. Otherwise, have to LLST in SG loh. I have not live in 2nd tier cities. Not sure if i could adapt. My bird nest is HDB one, bird shit can come from higher floors I dont have the whole tree to myself!

I also like going there. I find the cooked food in most SEA countries are much better then SG now. The good ones in SG are slowing disappearing. Shopping in other countries are of better value. Even "CUTN" prices are more costly then smaller shops here. 1st tier cities in other countries are pricey but at least their local goods quality & price/value (eg japan, NZ, Australia...) are there! So we still get screwed even when is says fairprice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
