I'm glad to know the Singapore embassy isn't the only one that sucks. I guess with a number of around 50, they don't really bother organising events. And when I do email them about whether they're holding one (e.g. Chinese New Year in Feb), they ... Read More

New friends in Riyadh? by GuestPoster868
