Convert foreign driver license to Singapore local one

You can drive temporarily with your foreign driver license and international driver license. For the long term, you need convert you foreign driver license to Singapore local. It is much simpler than to get one from the scratch for local people.

You need go to one of 3 driver centers in Singapore with your passport, pass and foreign driver license. The young ladies work there are nice and pretty. Fill the simple paper work, pass eyesight test, pay around S$7, and book the Basic Theory Driving Test (BTT). When I book it, it needs 1 MONTH waiting time. Before you leave, remember to buy the booklet for BTT, which costs S$3.

After 1 month waiting, you need go back with your passport, pass and 2 passport size photos. Don't be late because 15 minutes late, you will have to book and wait another month. You need answer 50 questions within 1 hour. If you read that booklet, you should be able to pass the test within 30 minutes.

Once BTT is passed, in the same building, you can convert your foreign driver license with S$50. You will get a temp paper permit right away, and receive the photo driver license within 2 weeks in mail.

The driving center I went to is Bukit Batok Driving Center.

Crocs sandals

Suddenly one special looking sandals get popular. The brand is Crocs. It even opens a brand store at Marina Square. The design idea is from Dutch wooden shoes, I guess. A pair of Crocs sandals is sold at around SGD 50. The price is justified for what it is made of - Croslite. Based on Crocs website, "Croslite™, a proprietary Closed Cell Resin (PCCR) which is NOT plastic NOR rubber. Croslite™ is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor. it is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning. its closed cell properties resist odor, inhibits bacterial and fungal growth and are non toxic. this versatile material can be worn next to skin and be cleaned with just soap and water." However, it really looks like made of plastic or rubber, and the design is unique. Replica comes. they are sold at SGD 20, SGD 10, SGD 5 depending on quality.

Watch out this sign before you light the cigarette up. SGD 1000 fine! However, I wonder if someone had really paid so much for violation.

Prostitutes in Singapore

Singapore is very realistic about this issue. Prostitution is legal. The famous red light zone is Geylang area. I heard Hong Kong officials are considering to legalize this business in HK also. Singaporeans are not allow to work as prostitute. Maybe also SPR. The prostitutes are mainly foreign workers from poor countries in SEA area, such as Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia, not from China. They come under special 2-year working pass, and must pass the health exam, yes, to prevent STD such as HIV, AIDS and so on. The brothels are mixed with normal resident houses. The brothel's house number is red lighted. The price is ranged from SGD 50 to SGD 200. Illegal sex workers are also around, and in some massage clinics. A very recent fatal case and newly effective government policy make a special social group - Chinese accompanying mom for studying kids a hot media buzz again.
