How to mail letters to Singapore
Hey all,
Today, I'll be tackling a topic that is trickier than it seems - international mailing. Sure, it still involves an envelope and stamp, but Singapore has some interesting quirks that you should keep in mind if every trying to mail me.
First, writing the letter. This is largely on you, gentle reader, as you should have some idea of what you want to convey. No word limits here, as I've got lots of time to read your daily musings.
Second, how to write your address on the envelope. The front is mostly the same, with one major exception that I will get to in just a second.

Congratulations! If you get the appropriate stamp purchased, your letter should get to me in 1-2 weeks! It is best to actually walk into your local post office to ensure that you get the correct stampage. It shouldn't cost too much more than a regular stamp. Here in Singapore, it is only S$0.50, which is actually cheaper than a regular US stamp. So you know that expense is no excuse for my lack of response.
Return address
Since you know Mr. Kramer would love to write back, this is where we get fancy. DON'T put it in the upper left corner, like your third grade teacher taught you. Instead, put it on the top flap on the back of the envelope, like so:
Return address for Mr. Sherlock Holmes if he was writing
I know this is tricky, but I believe in you, wise reader. And besides, you will get so much satisfaction out of this whole event that all this extra time will be well worth it.
Hope to hear from you soon!

ReplyDeleteHi it was very informative post. Thank you for sharing this information. In this era of emailing and texting, a handwritten letter has become outdated but it is one of the most classic ways of expression. The common question that arises at the time of mailing a letter is how many stamps do I need to send a letter?

and, be careful what you say, the government does read your mail, email, and listen to your phone calls. no warrant needed! (I lived there five years, one of my friend's sister worked for the government translating and transcribing phone calls in various Chinese dialects). They have little crime and lots of time to spend spying on ordinary citizens.

And if you regularly hit the pipe, then you know a simple cleanse won’t do, especially if it’s one of those dreaded surprise drug tests you’re talking about. Worry not, my skeevy stoner friend, because you can always use the Clear Choice Incognito Belt synthetic urine kit: it’s perhaps the absolute best fake pee you can get in the market right now, and rightfully so. That’s because out of all the lab-made piss kits being sold today, the Incognito Belt is the only one that’s able to emulate the real thing at 100 percent accuracy. For one, it has all the “natural” compounds you can find in the golden liquid, such as urea and uric acid. It is essential for hair cleaning and passing hair drug tests. The medulla, cuticle, and cortex are the three layers that make up the hair shaft. Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/
