Experience a day in the life of a local Singaporean through an exclusive visit to a HDB Home!

What is the Ethnic Integration Policy? How is this implemented and why? Besides shophouses and HDB flats, there are also private condominiums, black and white colonial houses and landed houses. What is the difference between these and public housing?

The highlight will be a home visit to a host family where you get to have an authentic experience of a day in the life of a local Singaporean. This is an intimate meeting with a Singaporean family, where you learn about their lives, how they go about their daily chores, neighbourly dos and don’ts, customs and culture. Family is warm and loveable but equally open to a free and easy “no topic we can’t discuss” chat over home-prepared snacks and dessert… This is an exclusive arrangement we have with the homeowners.
