  • Singapore expat part 3: unified payment system across transport

    Just like Hong Kong (Octopus), Seoul (T-Money) and London (Oyster), Singapore has a public transport card (Ez-Link). Like HK and Seoul, you can use this card for small payments in 7/11 alike shops. This payment card works on all transport modes. Bus. MRT (metro). No matter who operates it. Sadly it doesn’t work on taxis…

  • Singapore expat part 2

    “Singapore is China, right? They eat dog there. So backward.” I haven’t posted much since arriving here… That’s because life here is pretty straightforward and nothing is complicated.

  • Singapore

    There. Relocating to Singapore for the time being. Becoming an expat. Lufthansa BRU => FRA => SIN. Back in Belgium in October for a bit though. Auf wiedersehen for now. Be good Belgium.

  • Singapore Airlines

    Flying Turkish BRU to IST (A321), and Singapore Airlines (SQ/SIA; B772) IST to SIN. #Woohoo. Let’s see if it’s really world’s best airline*. 🙂 Having a quick citytrip to Hong Kong (not Cathay this time, but Scoot (B789 Dreamliner) & Jetstar (A320)) and then returning in a little over two weeks just before Pukkelpop with…
