If it is going to cost you too much money then forget it. There is nothing really to learn from Singapore except the fact that doctors are worked to the bone like slaves and treated badly by patients. Awful society totally materialistic.
You don't want to do an exchange program to know that. Go as a tourist and have a good time instead.

I meant that before when I first applied I was actually thinking that working there would be nice because I just came home from a vacation there (this was in august after summer).
Since then I've talked to students from there and also searched the web and I've heard that working conditions are not the best.
Now when I got the answer from school, I wasn't really sure anymore.
I might save the money or take an exchange somewhere else.
Thank you for your advice... So it is really that bad?
How long are you a "junior doctor" and have to work so many hours?
Why haven't adopted the way of working as western doctors? It is a rich country and could do that.
