Dont know why you are having a problem with insurance. I own a car back in the UK on which I'm insured (along with my sister and BIL) which I drive when I go home. They know I am a non-resident but never been an issue re insurance. In fact, just renewed for another year. Maybe you're trying mainstre...

Reminds me of a movie night (small private party) at the US Embassy in Kathmandu. About ten of us in a room watching Rambo - First Blood (i.e. pt.1, back when that was a new release). I leaned back on the sofa and brought a heavy curtain rail down right on my head. The others were laughing, at me b...

I'm not in your situation but have a UK friend who until recently lived in Vietnam working for a major UK firm. He married a Vietnamese girl more than 15 years ago and they have two kids. When his job relocated to the UK recently, she and the kids were sent back to 'Nam at Arrivals until the officia...

Incorrect. Any household equipped to receive TV broadcasts, requires a licence. Don't get one (and I've done it before) and expect your life to be made hell with bailiffs calling every other day, and so on. Sorry not sure where you are getting your information but this is wrong. You only need a TV ...

Where of course you have to be a darkie or a poof (or preferably both, or better 4-5 minority lables) to have any hope of getting on with one's career. Don't think you need to preach this sort of prejudice :( Oh, you mean you didn't know that they practise 'positive discrimination'? It's called iro...

Although the general sentiment on here seems to suggest avoid Sentosa, there are currently some mega deals to be done as landlords can't get the tenants.

All good news I sense. Investment is needed in some of the older buildings, communal areas and sports and play facilities. They have the space to expand which helps. I think the key change will come at Senior School level where currently there is virtually no offering so DCPS is basically a feeder s...

Re: Tux Rental
Can anyone recommend a supplier and rough cost ? Thx Good luck on that one. I had the same need a few years ago in order to attend the Navy Ball. I went to every wedding and bridal shop I could find. Not one of them rented tuxes. I ended up buying one. Several around on the web. For future referenc...
