BEST PLACE FOR CONVENIENCE

Singapore Population : 5.6 million

For a hassle-free lifestyle , consider Singapore , the island city-state known as the most orderly country in South East Asia — if not the world .
Singapore is clean , well-planned and green , making it a convenient city for locals and expats alike . Streets and sidewalks are litter-free and easy to traverse , and , thanks to Singapore ’ s excellent infrastructure , commuting both by road and mass transport is a breeze . The city offers plenty of green spaces , too , so you can easily enjoy family-time alfresco .
For English speakers , there ’ s an added bonus : Almost everything in Singers is written in English , which means navigating the city , settling in , getting a work permit , and renting an apartment are pretty straightforward tasks .
While the cost of living is considerably higher than that of other Southeast Asian countries , if your family values the convenience that comes with organization , no where else beats Singapore .
