I will arrive in Singapore in the morning of November 7!
And my fiancee will reach me on saturday to stay there a few days.

A temporary room is already arranged and I think I have found a more permanent accomodation too.

Something I'd like to know, how strict are the customs officers regarding prescription medicines and... salami from Italy?

Hanging salami or processed & vacuum packed?

Hi Fabio

Remember to bring your favourite wine (I'm afraid it's limited to only 1 Litre per person) and cheese too. They are pretty costly over here.

Cheers

Thanks all for the helpful information; it's good to know what I can bring without wondering if it could be seized (and me, fined).

However, I have posptopned my trip to the end of November - I wasn't quite ready for it I realized.

See you on a friday night drinking session, I suppose.
