Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

According to the distributors, the act of copying the material onto another form of media is piracy. They would like you to purchase the same material again when technology changes (ie Video / Cassette to DVD/CD) rather than just copying... Yes, I am aware of this and disagree with that interpretat...

I guess I'll play devil's advocate here - why didn't you just pay for the single massage and then leave? Unless you were physically threatened (which you clearly were not, according to your description), I don't see a valid reason for this transaction to be overturned. If you are uncomfortable with ...

I'm definitely interested in this, however I won't be in Singapore until about 5 months from now. If you all start to establish regular meetings, please keep some sort of information flow on this forum or thread. My wife and I are heading over for her job, which leaves me in the enviable position of...

Thanks for all the responses. I feel pretty comfortable about it now.

@BigSis: My media PC is a standup PC, so it will come in shipment, not my luggage. I will have a laptop as well, that will travel on the plane with me, but there will be no media on there.

A preemptive note: I have searched and read the various threads regarding questions people posed about whether or not they would get away with pirating software, and the reception they received. So, I'd like to make it clear up front that my question is NOT an attempt along those lines. I have purch...

Bring an open mind and a good sense of humour. Everything else is available here. Copycat :P Anyway, just realise the OP is American so will need to discover a sense of humour first :lol: Ouch! Well, fortunately my wife and I are very well traveled and are probably unlike the stereotypical American...

Bring an open mind and a good sense of humour. Everything else is available here. P.S.: I wouldn't bring dogs or other animals, as the import procedures are troublesome (quarantine!) and costly. I also doubt that a temperate-climate dog would like tropical conditions. heh, we have two dogs and they...

Has anyone transported an english bulldog (or other breed specifically listed on Singapore Air's website as not accepted for travel)? The flat face breeds have trouble in heat, so I imagine that's why you see bulldogs, pugs, mastiff, etc on that list. We were planning to use a pet relocation service...

All good tips, thanks! I tend to use Advil and Ibuprofen interchangeably, so perhaps I am confusing the two. I definitely don't want to smuggle anything in :) It might be the case that she was told you can only get Ibuprofen in tiny packets (as opposed to by scrip only), and that we should bring one...

ahh bummer, I have a fantastic juice extractor that I'm not going to want to leave behind. anything other than sandals? as an example, one of my wife's coworkers said Advil is only available by prescription there, so we were going to bring a large bottle, sufficient to last at least until we visit t...

Hello, My wife and I are likely moving to Singapore from the US in a few months. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on stuff to bring that wasn't obvious - i.e. things that, once you were there, you wished you had brought. We have a short list of stuff like our clothes, a few electronic and k...

Hello - first time poster here. My wife has an opportunity with her company that would result in a 18-24 month stay in Singapore. We are both Americans, both have undergraduate and masters degrees from top 10 universities in the US, currently live in the US, and both have very transferable skill set...
