Thanks. I will ask, nothing to lose. About the tax, no matter if I earn in Sing but if I then want to take home the money, I still have to pay aussie tax on it so I am not really getting the advantage of the lower tax rates in Sing. A new development for me on this one. They are now suggesting KL. ...

I'm not syaing anything complicated :???: Preferential agreement exists for Singapore residents - i.e. they can arrive in China without a visa or a visit to the local embassy in advance. I was wondering whether an EP holder could do the same. Hope this is clearer! :? Are you talking about residents...

$1200AUD - is pretty much reasonable in Sydney - which comes in around 770 GBP and that is pretty much the kind of going rate in London. The main problem in Singapore is there isn't a contract market as in the sense there is in Oz or the UK. Any contract roles will invariably be offer at a permanent...

Thanks a lot for advice. Excess baggage seems not to work, as Estonia is too remote location. By so far i've found only options to major European towns. Air Cargo Freight is the answer you are looking for - I moved nearly 250Kg (12 Tea Crate size boxs and 2 Guitar cases) from Laos to Singapore for ...

and use the option similar to "provide credit card details later" you need to enter a valid us zip code matching the suburb. 90210 may be the most used postcode :wink: To purchase apps you need to get a US itunes gift card and add it to your itunes account. Erm no to purchase apps you just need a S...

HK is strangely slightly more expensive than SIN Not sure what the pricing in BKK is these day . . . And no Apple won't sell you lots ...

I fortunately ended up with DBS I originally walked into UOB on Orchard Road on a Saturday morning and their accounts seemed to be good and at this point I told them I hadn't yet got my Employment Pass card yet but I had all the signed paper work . . and asked if I could open the account. Yeah sure ...

Amsterdam or London take your pick!

Hell, in the North East of Laos I spent 16 hours on a bus so fully loaded it struggled to reach 40Kmph and passengers regularly throwing up out the windows. Complete with a 2 hour breakdown and the journey being down no end of twisting turning poorly surfaced narrow roads. However my patiences are ...

So is it just me or are the bus drivers in Singapore the worst in the world? Not one of them seem to understand the concept of gradually stepping on the gas or brake pedal. They only know how to stomp on it. If you're standing, you will FLY if you forget to hold onto something solid, even for just ...

Hey all - just registered from reading this thread after 9 months here - I am so glad it's not just me who thinks the place is like living in an animal pen! The pure ignorance of the vast majorities in public spaces is unbelieveable! However not being backwards in coming forwards (read I have no sha...
