Welcome to S'pore!
Welcome to S'pore!
I've been living here for a couple of years. There is actually an alumni group here, partly because the UM b-school is fairly popular. I don't think they're particularly active, but I have been to an alumni reception with about 200 people a couple of years ago. S'pore is a great place to live. If you want to meet up and grab a Tiger, let me know, and maybe we can set something up.

Oh, sorry man. Yeah, it was

Oh, sorry man. Yeah, it was really cool. It was maybe the third day I was in S'pore. It was at the National University. Full spread of food and drinks. And someone from the Povost's office at UM, I think, along with some profs at NUS gave a presentation. It was amazing to be halfway around the world and walk into a room full of maize and blue ties and other UM gear.

but maybe you two should meet over a beer, rather than than the proffered random act of grabbing a tiger, which happens to be an endangered species!

Singapore is a beautiful city, definitely a large expat crowd, especially @ the bars along Clarke Quay. Most seemed to be Brit's/Aussie's tho'.
If/when we go back, would like to stay @ the Marina Sands. The view has to be spectacular.

Shanghai has it's fair share
Shanghai has it's fair share
Shanghai has it's fair share of UM alums. So does Beijing. Michigan keeps Jointly-held campuses with Peking University in Beijing and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai. Little known fact, that accounts for UM's overreaching presence in East Asia.
It kind of sucks that people only know about the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses.

I live in Singapore and was here for the 2011 football season. The alumni group got together for a handful of games last year at a bar on Killeny Road, which I think has since shut down unfortunately. But there are definitely other Wolverines living in Singapore to watch the games with this fall.

Live in Korea, just across the pond more or less. Or more.
For what it's worth, some years ago I was arrested and detained in the Bangkok ariport on my way to Singapore ~ for "transporting human cargo."
At the time I didn't even know what that meant. I was released a day later and given first class to Singapore. Didn't exactly make up for it all, but in hindsight it was a fairly interesting experience. But if it were true, I would have been transporting UM fanatics and created a little community for you to watch the games with. Unfortunately for you, I was innocent.

Woo!

Woo Korea! You've been here a while, eh?
Is Singapore that great to live in? All I heard from some of the people I know who have gone talked about how many laws and rules there are. Seems like it'd be nice to visit, and people living there probably have a different perspective, but that put me off. And transporting human cargo is illegal? That's some real BS.
June 17th, 2012 at 9:53 AM |
uh oh.
uh oh.
Are the airline, railroad and busing industries aware that transporting human cargo is illegal?
Yes...that guy.

Never lived in Singapore - just visited. I have friends there now who are quite happy. For me, I'd much rather go to Malaysia or especially Indonesia.
As for the human cargo... yeah, like I said, I just acted dumb b/c in fact I had no idea what the hell they were talking about. Something about my passport have a wrinkle above my photo made them think I was somehow ... I still don't know, something about illegally bringing people into the country. With my wrinkled photo passport? That human cargo couldn't fit behind my passport photo, I'm pretty sure.

singapore sends a lot of students to Michigan. There are usually around 150-200 Singaporeans enrolled. The alumni club in Singapore is pretty big and quite active. There are screenings for all the games downtown. That's where I watched the Nebraska and OSU games (while watching the live chat on this blog). It was a good time.
