Why I cut my Singapore trip short

Sounds like how a well balanced forum should be, people able to express themselves, without fear of personal attacks, or unreasoable rules being applied. Freedom is a very valuable thing.

As I've been a moderator myself - I support whatever their/your decisions are. However, I'm unsubscribing from this topic now, as I don't have anything further to add. It was interesting to chat to the Singapore guys who filled me in on a lot of stuff I was ignorant of, and helped me cement my decision to boycott Singapore as I'm anti-anti-vaping.

And most of all thank you to the moderators and operators of Thailand Vapers for providing this most valuable and useful forum for our enjoyment. Without it I'd still be chugging away one coffin nail at a time towards an earlier than necessary demise, so very grateful.

 

I was in Singapore in '77 and Boogie St was off it's face !
the place USED to rock ...

Hippies were only just still tolerated back then ... long hair - you were considered a hippie ... some guys got S.H.I.T. stamped in their passports by immigration - for 'suspected hippie in transit' ... lol

 

It may sound funny and strange nowadays, that with the long hair, but remember the long hair was often a rebellious statement for our generation. Did your father have comments about long haired people? My did, and it's better not to repeat them.

For LKY hippies were often drug takers, and that is what they really wanted to get rid of very much here in S'pore. I am extremely happy to know my son will NOT be approached after school by cetain marketers. People from other countries may think what they want, but I know the difference and I know it's good.

I guess you mean Bugis Street. There are still some edgy night spots, such as around Mohammed Sultan. Also some of the clubs have night life that might surpise you, and you might not necessarily know similar things from your own home town. For those clubs that are going to approach the "public" limits then they make it closed after 2 am or so. You would not even know as a visitor to S'pore. Some of the girls in these clubs are nothing short of stunning, and absolutely jaw-dropping. Just a joy if only to view, and second to Shangai, IMO. But don't ask me to show you around I'm not anymore that age group.
