A friend of mine wants me to join him in Singapore in order to start a new business. The thing is that I've never been in SG. I heard Singapore is expensive, and that I might have to share a flat at the beginning. Can anybody share his/her experience of living in Singapore?
It would be very interesting to know the:
> accomodation prices,
> public transportation fares (tube, bus etc ...)
> food prices(per month, how much does it cost you?)
> health prices (for those who need medical insurance)
> eduction prices (if you need to pay)
> energy prices (oil, electricity)
> common bills (Internet, television, telephone, mobile phone)
> prices of a good menu in a traditional restaurant
> prices of a beer and of a coffee in a regular pub
am I forgetting something?

Prices fluctuate quite a lot -- we've got some links to typical prices on our Cost of Living post, that might help...
