| Youtube is not banned there. Quite a few TV stations are based here, MTV Asia, ESPN, Nickelodeon, AXN etc as well as some local production companies. I am not really a 'media' type person but I do see a lot of western and local homosexuals around, talking crap and drinking coffee so I assume there is a fair amount of arty stuff going on here. As mentioned above this is not a careers thread. |

But anyway its always worth a try I guess. Not many Singaporeans take the arty farty route - most want to be lawyers, doctors, accountants etc. And this is still not a careers thread. | |

| Actually there are a number of very good international schools there, and also the regional office for the international baccalaureate organisation, but they are the same, require properly qualified staff and a proven track record. Not many people leave singapore, so jobs do not open up particularly often, same same HK really. And this is still not a careers thread. |

| Slimboyfat, not exactly a S'pore question but perhaps related ... *yes I'm getting geared, albeit very slowly, up to leave the LoS or to better say, looking for new shores, not keeping all my eggs in the TH basket* cons: Living in S'pore (years back, I've lived there for 4 mos. straight) can, at times, be daunting for many reasons. It's a relatively small island, all the rules and regs, cost of living (e.g. highish rents, cost of property, of cars etc.) not the cheapest and the " I'm so serious " S'porians at times can be a tad trying ... to mention but a few reasons; pros: good infrastructure, banking, health care, youtube and the caning of foreigners like Scampy etc. I am also told that the laws are pretty fair even if one is not a citizen of this island state... sooooo how about living in Jahor Bahru (and/or hinterland say Senai or even further afield, topography of which I am fairly sure, generally speaking, tends to be/resemble TH's modus vivendi) and when in need of "order" ... to escape from the chaos ... do the commute by ferry, bridge, car, bus, taxi, train or whatever. I understand that many Malays do the daily commute and traffic at peak hours is atrocious but not too bad outside of rush hour. Thank you for your (and anybody else's) thoughts re. a Spore/JB combo! |
