[quote="Schbang"]Just inquisitive, it's nice to know what to expect... I've only spent 36 hrs in SG before so my experiences there are very limited.[/quote] moving to a new country is a great way to learn something about that country. there are forums where singaporeans are migrating to australia an...

Hi, We're moving to Singapore next month indefinitely. We hope to live on the East Coast in a condo. Just wonderifng if most apartments come with whitegoods? Or is it likely that we will need to bring our washing machine, which is a top loader? Thank you. if you bring your washer/dryer then you nee...

SMS,

am sorry to hear about your friends on the black wall. am young enough to be your son. a pal's dad was an officer in NAM. he has never talked about NAM to his son. all we're told: "u won't understand." i guess not. guess we've hijacked this thread long enough.

SMS, i can certainly identify with what you're saying. i'm blue at home and red at work. that makes me even weirder. i fight with myself. :p to me, there is a difference between patriotism and payback. patriotism sometimes involve love. payback always involve obligation. again, it's just a POV. yes,...

here's my personal opinion and mine only. there are banned films and there are "banned films". i just think that LIFE of BRIAN is a "banned film". come on! you're freaking out like a SGean even before moving there! Thanks for the replys. We have no pirated discs (amazing after being in HK for five y...

your budget will determine your balcony/patio options. if you're used to HK living, you'll be used to SG living.

Thanks

for 18 months + senior manager + current real estate condition in singapore, i'd say S$5,000.00 would be a good number. if you're greedy or your company is doing extremely well then ask for more. just don't expect a 1 acre lot. think manhattan. think san francisco. I'm a reasonably senior manager wi...

the big names operating in your area will be able to ship your boxes to SG. they may not do it end to end and segments may be handed over to "partners". We're moving from Midwest U.S. to Singapore very soon. We have about 30-40 boxes, mainly books and other misc stuff. Can someone recommend some goo...

when a co-worker shipped a house worth of stuff from SG to san diego, the customs officers didn't bother. so long as it's "personal effects", i think there's no tax. just don't overdo it. Hi, We are moving back to US. Does anyone know what import duty we have to pay for shipping goods such as TV tha...

SMS, my understanding is that the draft law is around, and yes, while it is a "technicality", it will allow the president to invoke a draft. not to say that people won't riot. if you do not associate NS with patriotism then what do you associate NS with? payment? one pays the SG back with NS because...

i'm not religious so i may not know what i'm talking about... have you tried the church? i'm sure they will have need for charitable volunteers... [quote="UKexpat"]If there is anyone else on here in a similar position please get in touch as it would be good to chat! I'd be really interested in other...

SMS, u subscribe to the choice theory as do i. i applaud u for consulting with your son with regards to NS. have u also told him that he's liable for draft by the US army? he'll be receiving a letter from the US dept of Defense when he's around 16 yrs old if current laws do not change. sometimes i w...
