Wah so cheem... ha ha... I think Decathlon's ratings easier to understand... a few questions then:

1. So the Uniqlo puffy jacket is a down jacket?

2. How do you wash your down jacket in Singapore?

3. Can just hang out to dry in the sun? Or must be shaded and in wind only?

Thanks!

Down jacket no need wash.  Can only do Dry cleaning.

If the down jacket has removable inner lining, remove it before sent for dry cleaning.

So far, i only sent my jacket once for dry-cleaning in Spring 2017

No news on testing requirements... as was mentioned by someone in the tourism association... opening up is useless if testing is required... very few people will visit as tourists cos the cost of testing is both prohibitive and the uncertainty imposed by a failed COVID test is too much for those with limited leave or time...

Hi bros,

Do we need an International Driving Permit (IDP) for driving in New Zealand?

Cos yesterday I email AAS, they reply that we need to apply for it.

When I was in Perth, I didn't applied for the IDP to drive over there so I though it will be the same in NZ.

TIA

i drove there without IDP but best to check with your car rental company. 

IDP is most useful for countries where English is not the main language. It's basically a translation of your licence to other languages.

No need they accept our Singapore license at car rentals. Because it is in English, and also we are both Commonwealth countries. If you have not booked a vehicle yet, do so ASAP. Rental cars are now in very short supply, and expensive. The fleets were downsized during Covid, and now there is high demand as the border reopens. Most of the lower cost rentals are fully booked. Hertz may still have, but costly.

Hertz is super expensive now... I think they had the largest fleet worldwide before the pandemic and they downsized the most aggressively and they're paying the price for it now...
