sms, kind of you to take on the quizz & you were spot on in the nationality part. maybe you guessed from my name? so to expand on that I will say that much that my country belongs to both scandinavia & the nordics & since you managed to make a delicate distinction within that region I trust yourself...

hmm happy new year 2008 you guys!!! don't know who I should feel most sorry for here really? In any event what I'm most curious about is whether celinedion is female or male? Lastly anyone care to put out guesses on my natonality, residency and/or IQ? LOL WorldFun p.s. No I don't find spore boring -...

"I can read you never made it to Amsterdam? keinicke wrote: See you guys at the beach or in the jungle soon You mean in Malaysia or Thailand? Wink" Actually I did make it to Amsterdam several times - and Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Sydney etc which has similar (semi) legal setups. Point I was trying to m...

Funny thread

But in the end all I feel like adding is that if you choose to be in a mixed race relation then you better be prepared to accept some stares or more - even in a placed like Spore you'll still be a minority although an increasingly common one

Enjoy!

Do I find Spore boring - without buzz? Sometimes sure, but maybe I'm a boring person since I've also felt bored all the other countries/cities where I've lived and/or visited frequently. As someone mentioned Spore is likely best lived as an expat hub with frequent biz and/or leisure travels around t...

No need to try & agree here with so many nationalities, point of views & time line expectations in country so while international school might be only real choice for some others really would do best in local schools. I myself choose to be an exchange uni student here & obviously I didn't come here ...

SMT (sunday...), We two are more alike than I may be confortable with! Though as much as I try to eat the dirtiest streetfood, water etc. where ever my frequent travels take me I somehow still get the flu much more often than you. Last one was a few weeks back, but not lasting more than a few days t...

dudes just drink the tap water very clean & tasty especially after having left in the fridge for a while

huggybear, which one didn't you have (to do)? No return ticket or didn't have to show money? In any case it's good news :-) Just had confirmation on another board that since the introduction of an increasing number of budget airlines one way fares this 'ticknical requirement' is not enforced at all ...

Really strange info here I think.
I wasn't asked a single question at immigration arriving on tourist visa & one way ticket

Deefa, If you find a good accountant or company to help setup I'd be interested to know as I'm in very similar needs & situation also europe based right now.

So which bank would be the better of the 2, citibank or UOB? For me what counts is hasslefree & (free) access to my money when I need it i.e. free ATM use in SG & preferably overseas as well? That could either be via ATM, debit, vredit or a combination there of? Also I would not want to have a heavy...

sure you can someone on another post noted he opened an account with the HSBSC on tourist visa i.e. by showing his passport as ID. He then possibly provided a local address e.g. hotel or friends whatever? Officially it may not be possible, but sure in practive it is just ask around & try various ban...
