Singapore Women

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

One might think that the women of Singapore would be similar to other Asian women. Singapore women are quite independent, beauty, strength and purity . In fact, this is things many Western men find very attractive, although they does seem to annoy the more traditional men of Singapore quite a bit.

Independent
Singapore women today are more focused on education and their career. They are not rushing into marriages at young ages and are waiting later in life to have children. Some people think this is a huge mistake and worry about the culture of Singapore declining as a result. In fact, they often blame the Western world for influencing their young women to be more independent.

The truth is that women in Singapore are just not as interested in getting married anymore. If they are not married and have started a family by the age of 30, they will never likely do it. At that age, they are already in an established career and would have to give so much up to have the family they may not even want to have. So, they are using their rights to choose not to marry.

Beauty
Let’s face it, when it comes to men, beauty is almost everything. In fact, many men won’t give an ugly girl a second look. Singapore ladies are some of the most beautiful ladies in the world. They have that signature Asian look, without being too ethnic in style. They have perfect skin and hair and almost always are at a perfect weight. One main reason men love these women is because they are physically attractive.

Strength
Another reason why many men love Singapore women is because they are strong in character. They love the idea of a woman fighting for what she believes in. Women in Singapore today are not simply sitting back and letting men rule the world and some men find that fact very thrilling and attractive. In fact, they are getting into politics and other worldly issues.

Purity
Although women from Singapore are strong and are fulfilling their own personal plans, while many times putting tradition aside, they are still pure in nature. This is something that many men find ultimately attractive. Women will save themselves for their future husband, which is what many men are looking for. So, even though they are out there doing their own things, they still uphold the strongest values.

5 Shopping Tips For You to Shop in Singapore

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

1. Bring more credit cards. Almost all boutiques and malls here accept credit cards. So if you want to shop happily, make sure that you bring along a few types of cards such as American Express, VISA, MasterCard and Diners.

2. If you are using cash, make sure to change money at licensed money changers. You can find a lot of money changers along the street of Singapore. Go to a few shops and look at their exchange rates before you change your money.

3. Goods and services in Singapore will be taxed 7%. Currently the GST is 7%. This means that there will be an additional 7% charges on top of the retail price for your goods and services. Sometimes, the GST is not reflected on the price tag. So make sure that you check the price before checkout.

4. If you are not shopping in malls, make sure to ask for the price before purchasing. Prices are fixed when you shop in malls like Tangs, Takashimaya and Suntec City. But for other places like Bugis Street and flea markets, the prices are not fixed. So, always bargain with the seller to try and get a good price. You never ask, you will never know.

5. Visit Singapore between May to June. This is the period where GSS will be held. There are crazy discounts everywhere and you should take advantage of this. If you cannot make it during this period, you can visit Singapore either during January for Chinese New Year sale or end of the year for Christmas sale.
