There are places on Robertson Walk where you can sit outside, and I've seen quite a few kids with their parents around there, especially in the courtyard where you can keep an eye on them a bit easier.

Hi, I arrived out in Singapore from England 3 weeks ago, and through a contact have been going to Katong Presbyterian Church in Joo Chiat Lane (fairly easy to get to from Eunos MRT on the East-West line). Lots of very friendly people there - been along to a Bible study group, get regularly invited o...

Thanks - the trouble is that the prices are S$300 or so per night minimum, whereas I'm looking for cheaper.

And yeah it would be nice to fly, but again, price is an issue for me, so we'll be taking the ferry I guess.

Hi I'm planning to go to Tioman Island with my wife at the end of June. I understand that it's the school holidays - will that be a big problem? Does anyone have any recommendations of places to stay priced below S$80 per night for double room? Or where to go to book places? Also I need to know how ...

I went to Nice for my honeymoon - it's a lovely place. So here's a quick summary... The old town (Vielle Nice) is lovely - there's a great chocolatiere there as well which makes the most delicious chocolates; there's also some local food places, which have your standard nicoise salad with anchovies ...

Ah, thanks, just found it in my contacts list. I'll speak to them to confirm.

Thanks

Yeah, the Starhub website section on charges was a little unhelpful, in that they just put the price for "calls" but I guess they assume that you know you pay for incoming calls, and make it a special feature when you don't.

I posted this on the Computers/Mobile Phone forum but no-one answered, so I thought I might get a better response here... --------> Hi, I've just picked up one of the StarHub prepaid Green SIM cards, and heard rumours that I have to pay for incoming calls. Is this correct - if so, is it the same cos...

Lois I would say that it's not at all likely to do with being elite. It's more likely to do with being comfortable with people of similar interests and culture. You relate best to such people. That's not to say that you can't make the effort to meet people from other cultures etc, and in Singapore i...

Saw that last night. I enjoyed it, although my colleagues thought it was too slow.

You could try Ikea on Alexandra Road - that has a selection of greenery - it's a more western (Swedish) style of course.

Hi, I've just picked up one of the StarHub prepaid Green SIM cards, and heard rumours that I have to pay for incoming calls. Is this correct - if so, is it the same cost as for making calls? Also, does it cost more if I receive a call from the UK?

Thanks...Dan

England wrote:What's Argentini?!?!? I've heard of Argentina, but not Argentini, care to explain further?

I believe that in Spanish, the Argentinians are called "Argentini", and an "Argentino" is a male Argentinian. Different language you see..

What sort of approximate total cost for the weekend do you think will it be cinder?

I studied Japanese as an elective at uni a few years back for 2 terms. Despite it using Chinese characters (kanji), the language itself is not that hard. As the Japanese people were originally a nomadic people who skirted round the borders of China and on the Silk Route etc, the language is actually...
