This is a tour I specially curated for those who have been to Singapore previously. I will share with you what it means to be a Singaporean and living in Singapore.

In this tour, we will go off the beaten path to learn more about Singapore on a deeper level. You will gain insightful information on:
1. Her people - who they are, how they think, what are their aspirations, how they live their lives, what is the Singaporean identity;
2. Where they live - what are the housing options in Singapore and why more than 80% of locals live in public housing
3. Socio-political and economic issues that define the Singapore today

You will get to know the "rite of passage" of most Singaporeans, and I will share my own experience - how I purchased my apartment from the government, where we go for local food, how male Singaporeans including myself serve compulsory military service, social expectations, and more. At the end of the tour, you can truly say that you now know Singapore like a Singaporean!
