kids electric cars in singapore image
Q. Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffee pot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA.....
Yea I know, it wasn't funny...but it's pretty much true.

Answer
LOL sooo true..one time in my AP Euro History class, our teacher told us to check our shirt tags and see if ANY of the shirts were made in America...and only ONE in a class of 32 was made in america, and the kid had paid $200 for it.

DVR overseas (Guam, specifically)?
Jennifer C
I will be transferring to Guam soon. I love my DVR. I want to use one in Guam. I will be living in military housing and will have either local cable or military provided cable. Is there a DVR that I can use with either service?
Answer
Marianas Cable Vision.... call them and ask.

All stateside appliances work fine on Guam. The power is exactly the same as on the mainland.
I've been there.
1. You definitely want to live on base, in base housing. Even if you could find an acceptable place off base, the electric bill and water bill will drive you to bankruptcy. On base, of course, you don't pay for either.
2. If you have a car then ship it. If you don't have a car, don't worry. There are many "Guam bombs" available being sold by people leaving Guam who don't want to take it with them. However, understand, you will need a car. There's nothing that resembles public transportation on Guam.
3. Guam has DOD schools if you have kids. The DOD schools are fantastic. The public schools are horrible.
4. Crime is a big problem on Guam.
5. Gasoline is expenisve and imported from Singapore.
6. Plan on doing all your shopping on base.
7. The beach at Andersen AFB is a national treasure. You'll see what I mean when you get there.
8. Take the typhoon threat serious. Make a typhoon survival kit and stash it in your "shelter" base housing. There's nothing like watching the sheer panic 12 hours before the onset of damaging winds when unprepared people attack the BX, Commisary and Mini Marts looking for supplies.
9. If I could do it over again the one thing I'd take, even if I had to borrow the money to buy it, is a small, Honda power generator. Not a big one!!! Check out this link...

The EU2000 would be perfect for Guam. They are quiet and very fuel efficient. They don't produce a lot of power, but they'll keep you in ice, the lights on and the fans running. It doesn't sound like much now, but when you're in the tropics, living in concrete, "tyhpoon proof" houses, with no power you'll learn to worship that generator.
Remember, when (not "if" but when) you get hit with a typhoon you could be without electric power for weeks.
When you leave Guam you can sell if for double what you paid for it. Believe me on this.
10. Last, start reading the local paper online so you get a feel for the place and the current issues. Here's the link....
