Global Expat Forum: Moving to Singapore:

Hi Alli, I'm not Canadian, Singaporean in fact...but anyway, thought i could just assure you that life in Singapore shld be a breeze and don't worry yourself too much. If u had specific questions, it'd be easier for me to help you answer them. Won't be able to advise on taxation for foreigners though. Accommodation - plenty of it around, jus depends on your budget, you could get rent private or even public housing which is cheaper but without facilities like a pool...and you definitely get to mingle with the locals and live like the locals, depending on what you like.

India: Shopping in Chennai:

Hi Jennih, You may wish to send your husband to a shop called "Amma Nana". It's located on Chamiers Road but is commonly known to be directly opposite Park Sheraton Hotel (beginning of TTK Road, are is known as Alwarpet). It is located right at the junction. Most expats go there to do grocery shopping. I'm not sure what mode of transport yr husband will use but Park Sheraton is the most obvious landmark that even autorickshaw drivers should know. If they don't, chances are they are trying to be funny. The variety of imported stuff is the widest there but it certainly comes at a price (eg. 3 X more). Do check the expiry dates as well! Some stuff is also available at the local supermarket chain, Foodworld. There are a couple of outlets and baked beans shld be easily avail. there. The nearest one from Park Sheraton is at CP Ramaswamy Road. If he goes to Spencer Plaza, which is also a famous hangout for locals and foreigners alike, he can checkout the Foordworld there as well as another shop called Nuts and Spices (less variety).

Saudi Arabia: Cargo & Customs in Jeddah:

Does anyone know what happens to music CDs that have been taken from one's cargo, presumably for censorship? Will these eventually be returned to owner and how long does that take? Any fees involved? Is there any way I can check on the status of the screening process?
