As for a riding strategy, I ride on the roads in Tokyo all the time, and I expect the roads would not be much different. For multi-lane roads, if you think about a normal road where the gutter sticks out about 1 foot from the curb, my general position is for my wheels to be about half a foot out fro...

I feel for you in such a situation. I am sure I would also give them a good serve if it had been me. I have been in similar situations where the driver just did not seem to see me, and cut in front of me when I was so close that I actually had to jump hard on the breaks, and still came into contact ...

jfd, Probably the same reason as we are letting you hang around this thread instead of shunting your post off to the garbage/rubbish forum. The poster has asked a fair question. moderator lol, sms, too late on a Sunday perhaps? Should have added the :wink: I guess. I understand it was a fair qn, ju...

Shouldn't need to buy fans if you have enough talent. Get a few gigs together, give it a bit of time, and if you don't completely suck, you will have plenty of fans.

Although why you would want some of them to hang around on the ceiling is beyond me...

you have the courts on your side, even if the police are not...] :shock: Wow, this is truly amazing!! I had not imagined that this could happen in Singapore! I think ksl is right about one thing, try to spread the word, to newspapers, and forums everywhere. NAME the landlord involved, he should not...

from your list, get the lenovo w700ds. it is out of this world with the dual screen. (i hope you know roughly how much it will cost, yeah?) S$9,500.00 Lol! like the small print! :lol: That is probably the best if price was not an option, but it is to some degree, meaning that if the others are MUCH...

Thanks for your thoughts irvine. I am thinking to stay cheap hotel for about 1 month, but after that of course hope to have found a nice place to move into. At this stage I am leaning towards getting a place really close to work, but will try to get more idea once I am there. Noted about the contrac...

I will be moving soon too, so I am replying as a another person flying in real soon, but I have also been doing some research of places. Certainly those with much more experience of Singapore can correct me, but these would be my thoughts. My guess would be that you have not been to Singapore before...

While it is true that the exchange rate is down compared to what it has been in the past, if you are getting your UK salary converted straight to S$, then you are lucky! Normally cost of living and tax rates are taken into consideration when moving to another country, so, if your UK salary is £65k, ...

Wondered if anyone had ideas, suggestions for best place to spend the first 3wks to 1 mth when first arriving in Singapore? I will not be getting any relocation assistance from my company, so need to think about the best, and cheapest option for when I land. I checked serviced apartments, but they a...

Thought I would bring out this thread again. I did a search for threads on tailors, and seems the question has been asked and answered a few times over the years, but nothing too much recently. Just wondering if there is anything to add as I may be looking to buy some shirts and suits soon. What abo...

Just my thoughts, as a thoroughly uninformed Singaporean Expat to be. Seems you are happy with the place you are in, and seems there is also some concern about your job security. I certainly can't see the global economy improving at all before June, and may in fact get worse. I would first ask yours...

maximum for wine is 1L, above is taxable.. but wine tax should be cheap (need to verify this though). Tax is dependent on the alcohol content. Tax is S$70/litre of alcohol, so for your average bottle of wine at 750ml and about 14.5% alcohol, about S$7.60/bottle if my calculations are correct. Obvio...

For example, if he were going to Bangkok, all else being equal, I would say the chances were probably very slim that no sex was involved. On the other hand, if he was in Tokyo, all else being equal, I would say that it would be more likely than not that there was no sex involved. Uhh... I'm not muc...

i know in japan there are massage culture,they like to go for a massage. That is for sure! You can see from my location that I am in Tokyo right now (coming to Singapore very soon!). To give you an idea of how much Japan is into massage, I went to a newish shopping mall a little while ago, and ther...
