Indian Techie Shares 4 Cultural Shocks in Singapore

Aman, an Indian software engineer, moved to Singapore and shared four big cultural differences he noticed.

First, he was surprised that even rich people take the metro because cars are very expensive.

Second, he found that eating out is cheaper than cooking at home.

Third, he loved how everything is digital, like paying taxes or seeing a doctor.

Lastly, he noticed that people in Singapore keep to themselves, which was different from the social culture in India.

He said living in Singapore is like using a bug-free computer, but it's also expensive.

Many people online agreed with him and shared their own experiences.
