Digital cameras and their storage media will not be affected at all by airport x-ray machines and metal detectors.

There's no radioactive stuff in the airport. I wouldn't be near there if there is

Film do not get exposed under the x-ray scans which you encounter in the airport. They're perfectly safe. I've films which went under it no less than 8 times and its still as good as new.

However, do take note not to put film in your check-in luggage. The x-ray unit for check-ins are much more powerful.

heh, tht's a very bias view of taiwan. In many aspects, and even more so in social aspects, taiwanese are more 'advanced' than singaporeans.
and well, if we're toking about gals Generally, taiwanese are more conservative than singapore gals. usually, my taiwan frens are shocked at how daring singapore gals can be. (oh yar, they consider spagetti strap as daring).
but of coz, the media will focus on the minority isn't it?

(NB, taiwan guys are usually much aware of Geyland Lor XX )

Skyscrapers != more advanced.

Their local R&D, IT, media, electronics industries etc. are far more developed and more advanced than us. Singapore must work harder!! We are Singapore.. We are Singapore.. We're a nation strong ....

I doubt so...~
