{quote} No chewing gum but you can smoke! What such ridiculous rules
It's because chewing gums can prevent the subway doors from closing properly and delaying the subway train thus possibly bogging down the entire transit system and since the public transit is the lifeblood of Singapore as the whole entire country relies on public transit because driving is highly expensive and discouraged there to limit pollution and congestion (think of a Simcity where there is very little roads for cars and all of your sims have to take public transit), so the government had no choice but to outlaw chewing gum in public places. You can chew your heart out of ALL the gums you want in your private place just NOT in public place.

Singapore does have some strict and seemingly unreasonable laws BUT they were all enacted for a reason.

Tropical weather here, not raining every day, it could be real hot mid of the year.

As for the immigration, not so easy as compared to a few years ago, influx of foreigners to support the growth, 5.3 millions population in which 1.8 are foreigners. Locals blame the foreigners for the high property price and overloaded public transportation. But i dont think so.

Singapore dollar has been long term appreciating against USD, also attracting foreign investments to buy assets here, unlike US stock markets, Singapore stock market gains with an appreciating currency.

I think so too- Singapore made it to the top 10. This place is more of the city and if you enjoy country side you can take a cheap flight to Thailand or Malaysia, hardly few hours from here. Wehn you get in and out of Singapore, immigration clearance is a breeze, fastest in the world.

I had professors who are retired from top universities, some of them stay in neighbouring countries, but come here for few days/weeks classes. Thats another option. May be live in BKK or Penanag and visit Singapore whenever you want.

I would love to do that one day. But my $ in Fx is moving up at snail pace, may be I need another 10 years at this rate

It's just so FAR from where I live. I checked, for me to get to Singapore from where I am, the shortest flight time is 23hours something and that's just in-flight time not including all the connection time, waiting around the airport, waiting for take-off in the plane and etc..., more than 1 DAY to go there!! By the time when I get there, I am going to need at least a week to recover.

They are really only unhappy with one specific group of foreigners: the PRC nationals. The not-so-rich ones came to Singapore to compete with local jobs, overload public transportation. The super-rich ones came to Singapore to buy up expensive properties and to crash Ferrari's. The funny thing is the majority population is ethnic Chinese (mostly of southern China descent) but they dislike the recent immigrants from Communist China, mostly from northern China. The government actually built the two casino resorts to attract ultra-wealthy China gamblers into the country.

If you visit Singapore nowadays, you will find lots of Filipinos working in hospitals and serving food in McDonald's or KFC's. Previously it was common sight to find PRC nationals in service sector jobs, but are slowly being pushed out of the country or limited from immigration entry.

Is it easy for a North American to find a job and immigrate to Singapore now? I know Singapore used to encourage immigration do they still do that now? Thanks
As long as you're not one of those obnoxious PRC nationals buying twenty Louis Vuitton handbags in one go, you should be welcome to immigrate to Singapore. There are no capital gains tax or inheritance tax so you keep what you earned from trading and not have to report anything during tax time.

Well this is nothing new. PRC nationals is hated everywhere, for some reason. The Europeans hate the PRC tourists, many of the popular North American cities hate PRC real estate investors, PRC preggie's, PRC stow-away's... I just feel so bad for that Singaporean taxi driver and that Japanese student passenger. May they get comfort in after-life.

...so i am contemplating moving but unsure of where to. The ideal place needs to offer the following: 1 - Great weather and scenery (preferably tropical or mountains) 2 - Inexpensive living - best bang for the buck etc. 3 - Good schools (for our kids) 4 - Safe for Americans / foreigners etc. 5 - English is prevalent thus making it easy to get around (if outside of the US) 6 - Low crime 7 - Hight speed internet available (this is a MUST) 8 - ....anything else you can think of. Right now I am looking into Phuket Thailand but looking for input to see...

I trade here in the philippines. London open starts here at around 3pm, US open at 8pm and london close at 1:00 am..

We have a tropical type climate.
Prices of basic needs here is relatively cheap especially food with the excemption of oil due importation
When it comes to capital gain tax not as good as singapore with 0% here it ranges from 0-10% however you could use
offshore account and you wouldn't need to pay anything
Many beautiful Islands and beach here.
Internet connection not very fast compare to neighboring country but is sufficient for trading. No for scalpers!!
Very close to other country Japan,Taiwan,Malaysia,Australia,New zealand, Thailand and etc.
85-90% Know how to speak english.
When it comes it immigration it is easy as long as you have money.
many clubs and beautiful girls.
One of the fastest growing emerging market with forecast growth of 7.8%

I believe there are only three disadvantage here to trade:
1. Country is very close to Pacific Ocean which makes it a one of the top five most hit by tropical storms.
2. High Crime rate due to extreme poverty.
3. Very corrupt government officials.

How's this? We're staying on a working farm in New Hampshire for a week for the boys to experience.

This is my first time in New England in 12 years and I'm overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. We just spent a week in Amsterdam and it was lovely, but my home area is fantastic.
