WORKING IN SINGAPORE - Moving to a new office in Downtown
In today’s vlog, I’m taking you along as we say goodbye to our old office at Suntec and move to our new location in Downtown. It's a big change, and with it comes the end of some familiar habits and the beginning of new ones. I’ll show you around both offices. It's an exciting transition, and I can’t wait to welcome this new environment and all the opportunities it brings.
I'll also dive into what it's like working in Singapore, including the work culture, office environment, and the unique experiences I've had as an expat.

    Don't mind if i tell a small joke. My Chinese Singaporean friend went to France 30 years ago for vacation. He spoke to the subway staff and asked for some information. The French staff refused to speak English (and I was told that French are very proud of their language) and he replied in French. My friend was totally clueless on what he said. He suddenly thought of an idea. He spoke to the staff in Mandarin and the staff could not understand a word. The staff unintentionally and with no choice - switched to English. Mission accomplished.
