Teenager Moving to Singapore what to bring?

• I'm a teenager moving to SIngapore (from the states) , what should I bring that wouldn't be found in Singapore? Clothing, makeup (brand wise I.E: MAC, Sephora), DVDs, CDs, books, Should I stock up on burts bees products, etc. Things that would be hard to find or really expensive to buy.

• Answer:

  I think you are incredibly lucky to have this opportunity. I had the chance to spend some time in Singapore when I was 19 and I would love to go back. (I was 19 ten years ago). There are many several storied malls in Singapore that offer everything that you can imagine. Therefore I wouldn't bring anything but your sense of adventure. There is a large bootleg CD and DVD market in Malaysia to find movies and music. Burt's Bees products might not be available since they aren't internationally well known, but the other large cosmetic companies have shops there. Singapore is home to a large ex-pat community from England, Denmark and China to name a few. They desire some of the same products you do, so the availability of them will be better than you imagine. I bought loads of inexpensive, fashionable clothes while I was there, but they were definitely more suited to smaller framed girls (which I was not). Good luck to you!
