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?

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.
