I'm back in New York now, and I'm blown away by how many new craft/boutique products there are now. Corner convenience stores now carry all sorts of all-natural products - hydrating drinks, healthy snacks to eat on-the-go, incredible craft-brewed beer (my god, the beer selection is mind-boggling!), ...

I remember when we first moved here from the US my wife really missed Vitamin Water (it's since arrived in SG). I still miss certain products that I used to be able to walk into a 7-11 or a supermarket in New York and pick up. What are some items you used to take for granted that you can't find in S...

Hey all - just wondering what products American expats miss the most in SG. For example, when we moved here 4 years ago my wife was bummed that Vitamin Water wasn't available - she was thrilled when it appeared last year. After 4 years I feel like I'm losing track of what my day-to-day life was like...

Yeah, man - as has been said numerous times in this thread, all are welcome! We play every Saturday at 9:15 am at Bishan Park II behind Aramsa Spa on Ang Mo Kio Ave. 1. We do play with a line, so you'd be plenty welcome. See you there.

Thanks for the BBQ tips - I saw some at parisilk so far. They're ridiculously expensive here. If the original poster were to bring everything he/she was asking about - "coffee machine, blender, slow cooker, panini electric grill," then you would need some serious transformer power. And, again, I've ...

Thanks for the grill tip! As for the transformer/mixer problem - I've been told, and I believe someone else in this thread also mentioned, that a transformer shouldn't be used with anything with a motor - something about phase differences perhaps? Also - I imagine it would require a pretty large tra...

Your mixer would also fall into the useless category, assuming it can't accept a 240V power source.

While we're on the general topic of appliances - sort of - I'm in the market for a gas grill (some people call them "barbecues") - does anybody know of a good place to buy one?

I just moved here from New York, and I'm wishing I had left a number of electrical appliances home. I see you're from the US, so you have to consider the voltage difference. Anything that you have that accepts 110 - 240 V, bring it. You only need to buy a cheap ($3) adapter to use them. For items th...

Thanks, Cubby. Any idea what the name of the store is?

Hi all, I'm looking for a gas grill (barbecue) and some outdoor furniture for my balcony. I've found plenty of nice teak stuff and some pretty expensive wicker, but haven't had much luck finding middle-of-the-road stuff. Back in the states I'd probably hit up Sears for this type of thing, but I can'...

Thanks for posting the pics - they have me looking forward to Saturday almost as much as if I had a job!

btw - I think linking to Picasa works better than using postimage.org - the forum pages with pics in them take a while to load.

Are anyone else's arms & chest sore from doing pushups? Hey - not only are we learning some discipline, but the added upper-body strength will come in handy when we're blocking!

Hey all. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Slight aside, however - is anyone doing anything exciting tonight? I'm thinking of heading out and getting some beers in me. If a bunch of us were to get together we could all catch a buzz while helping make sure nobody gets too tanked to be able to make it ...

Nice! thanks for posting that. i bought 3 copies but forgot to set them aside and the maid at the service apartment threw them out.

Hey all - does anybody know where I can buy a football?
