movemove, the people who think Singapore has streets paved with gold are those from poor countries. Most Americans aren't even aware that Singapore is a first world country, let alone think it has streets paved with gold.

Please read my reply at the thread titled 'what kind work can i get'
Gold in this context has a variety of implications, social, physical, environmental etc. not just financial.
Lastly, I have always heard of the stereotype that Americans are ignorant and arrogant, those statements above surely fulfilled that. Anyway, I replied to the threads here seeing there are no reply to the questions being asked. As an expat who have been there for quite a while, I thought I would help fellow expat-to-be by answering them. Seems my helpfulness is uncalled for.
Not coming back anytime soon. Good luck on the move.
