Apart from me there are also four other people (two boys and two females) from Poland but they don't post much. I found one of those people on this board thanks to my thread about disco polo: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt70266.html

well the authoritian government doesn't help things there either....lol IT WAS ILLEGAL TO BUY, OWN AND CHEW GUM FOR YEARS!
Over the years the authoritarianism has toned down significantly. But so long as the grand old man of Singapore remains alive and kicking, he will never stop using paranoia to cement his power. It is a common misconception to think that it is illegal to own or chew gum in Singapore. You can bring and consume chewing gum in Singapore but you cannot sell it. Since gum cannot be sold, it essentially means that almost no one chews it; unless you want to make a special trip to a neighboring country just to buy chewing gum. Some people think that there is resistance to this policy but most Singaporeans actually quietly support it. We like things neat and clean and not having to walk on sidewalks made disgusting and sticky by chewing gum is a definite social good.
It is disturbing though to read how Singapore's leaders believe that there is a widespread conspiracy in the Western media to do Singapore in because of our success. Even if it were true, it is definitely bad public relations to say it out loud. And that is where the rub really hurts. Despite the massive effort which Singaporeans have made to pull ourselves up, it gets on our nerves that other people believe that we are serfs in a Czarist state.

I think I'm the only Belgian here? (for the geographically challenged: a small country squeezed between The Netherlands (to the North), France (to the South) and Germany (to the East). More specifically, I live in Flanders, and speak Flemish - a Dutch dialect - as Belgium is two tiny parts stuck together (a Flemish part in the North and a Walloon part in the South - they speak Walloon, a French dialect) with the capital Brussels inbetween. Does this make any sense to you?

I read them when I was already supposedly an adult and even then they made me blush sometimes. But loved them, a rollicking, raunchy read and quite informative, too. Have you read "Spangle" from the same author? Very nice
- about the circus.
