Chewing gum is not only not sold there, it is outlawed. And if oyu need smokes, you can get them at rock bottom prices if you buy them duty free. The catch I hear is you are not allowed to smoke them there if you buy them this way. |

Nah the guy at the 7-11 said that people can buy chewing gum elsewhere and bring it into the country but you just can't buy it here...though I hear there's a "black market" for chewing gum.
You're only allowed to bring in 3 (or is it 2?) packs of cigarettes otherwise you have to declare them at customs and most likely they'll be taken away from you.
Other things about Singapore that I didn't know - you can be sentenced to death by hanging for murder.
Manslaughter - voluntary or involuntary is an automatic life sentence. In Korea isn't it only 5 years in jail? |

| Singapore is socially, aesthetically, architecturally, financially, environmentally, culturally, culinarily superior to Korea. No contest. |

Assuming you can overlook its more Orwellian side.  |

So what are the girls like in Singapore? I haven't been there, but have been to many other parts of Asia, and I have never found any girls who compare aesthetically to Koreans. Especially in terms of height and leg length.

While I tend to agree with you, Singapore is at best deserving of the oxymoronic label "enlightened authoritarianism."

Don't like the LBFMs, eh? Well, you need to get out and about more. Northeast China (i.e. Manchuria) also has women of your preference and so, too, does Mongolia.
And those girls are also more likely to be aesthetically pleasing in a deeper sense, that is, possessing warmth of character. Ouch.
Ouch.
But thanks for the pic; she has nice legs. Wonder if she's got the mascara caked on under those specs, though? |
