Hi... from Long Island NY. Been in Singapore since Jan... up for meeting other NY's!

Sorry I missed it, was stuck at work late.

I'm going to try and make my first event! What should i expect?

I find it hard to meet other americans as well, I used to belong to an american expat group in Sydney through Meetup - it was really good, think I might make one in Singapore. Cool, PM me if you do. The Meetup American Expat group in London was really good... loads of events and met some real nice ...

Hey All. I'm doing the Body for Life challenge which I kicked off last week and wondering if anybody can give advise on where to purchase EAS products (or anything similar) preferably by mail order. I have a GNC just up the street from me but it's expensive and there is not advantage to buying by bu...

Any help with that last question?

Hi sillingw... could you PM that info also? Not able to PM you.


So I will be making between 125-130K SGD.... is it safe to assume I will be paying 15% of that to Singapore and a small slice of that back to the US?

I'm 5 minutes from there... I'm up for it.

Thanks for that SE... some had advised me that because of the lower rate of tax in Singy I would be subject to paying more taxes in the US. The tricky part is that I make just about 95,000 USD before bonus so I may end up paying some back t the US anyway.

I'm a US Citizen... single, no property in the US. I have been living in the UK and paid in GBP since June 2008. In Jan 2010 I will be moving to Singapore and will begin getting paid there in April 2010 in Singapore Dollars... I have heard so may different stories about how this is going to work out...

Sorry I didn't find this thread sooner... for streaming you can try atdhe.net

Will have all the games you want.

thanks everybody, some great ideas superglide!!! Will be in touch when I move in January. Hoping to check out some of India and Nepal at some point... incredible year ahead I'm sure!!

Thanks Tas.... any favorites you can let me in on?

If you ask how to distribute these 25 days I would suggest something like 5-7 days for Cambodia, 5-8 days for mainland Thailand, up to 5 days for a tropical island (Tioman, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Samui, one of the Redang archipelago), 3-5 days for Bali, the rest you should be able to visit during weekend...
