Can anyone tell me how easy it is to work in Singapore for
someone from Australia.
What are the requirements.
Thanks

   If you're a Sheila, cupsize 36c and above with an hourglass
   figure, you'll qualify as a dancer in one of the topless
   bars over here.

   it's just as difficult, with the same sort of rules, as
   your lot make it for the great unwashed out here. work
   permit, job before you go etc etc. short answer tricky if
   you're a bartender but not impossible if you're a
   professional. don't work illegally, the chinese will shop
   you instantly as they think you have THEIR job.
