From my experience travelling to Bangkok for holiday, I could get film, but at higher prices then what I could have gotten back home. Places to get them are few are far between as well, so I advise you to stock up on as much as you think you are going to need, and then some. Remember those spare batteries and a cleaning kit wouldn't hurt as well.

Well, then you have to decide which is your stronger medium. I, for one, certainly will not consider it a waste to shoot in pure B&W if I know that medium is my stronger forte.

It has largely to do with your own personal style of photography which will determine your preference Have fun!

Is Kodak UC400 available in Singapore? I got mine from overseas.
