Overview One of the more difficult things about expatriate life is missing "the folks from home". As a result of Singapore`s regional importance as a center for business in Asia, many countries have their own expatriate clubs and associations, serving the professional, business, cultural and social needs of the communities. These clubs and associations provide a home away from home for expatriates. The expat will find many events and celebrations unique to his or her community. Many of the clubs also provide facilities such as restaurants, swimming pools, tennis courts, libraries, function rooms, etc. Once you have settled in visit them yourself to see which one best caters to your unique needs.
