Hi, my husband has an opportunity to re-locate to singapore, I have a 4 year old and 18 month old and one due in 5 weeks!!

Do not fret, there are groups of expats, who organise their own gatherings and get togethers, including visits to the neighboring countries and such.

And Singapore is a safe place, and probably one of the most safest, and you will have no qualms learning the local trends and such.

Anyway, once you arrive here, a visit to the nearby supermarket will automatically get you loads of female friends, as a lot of expat moms are here as full time moms.

And welcome to Singapore
