So how is the working/living situation in Singapore? Don't just give the positive PC answer I really want to know the pros and cons. What are the work culture, working hours, salary, vacation time, crime, corruption, bureaucracy, commute time, daily hassles, etc.

I'd really appreciate any advice anyone could give so we could decide if a move is advisable.
work culture: definitely competitive. then again its the same for most cities.

salary: it depends on your experience can education level. but it shouldnt be too bad.

vacation time: if you looking at the sch holidays is usually in June and December as well as a week in March and another week in september.

crime: definitely low. but that doesnt mean there is no crime..

commute time: at most takes abt 1hr. with public transport available everywhere it shouldnt be that diff to get form one place to another.
