There is a place called the "big hotel" with rather tiny rooms but very
clean and smart and most importantly, for us as a start up, very
affordable. They call a cab if u want and its not too far to a train
station. Give it a try!

Airbnb in SG is not too great as it is not legal there and the area you have 
requested does not have many accommodation via hotels or residencial options. 
Look at Clementi which is a short drive from here.

Re: [silk] Kids and porn

[Charles Haynes]

As far as I know there is no scientific evidence that viewing porn is
harmful. Lots of anecdote, lots of "it's obvious that..." but no data.

So what's the (supposed) problem?

Hello, Silk-listers.
Any serviced apartment someone can recommend within walking distance of Galaxis 
Fusionopolis?  Or a hotel?  This is for Tuesday night.
Grateful for any recommendations.
Thanks

Malware for one platform encoded into code on another platform.

Re: [silk] Kids and porn

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Give them the usual frank talk beyond the birds and the bees. As a start. 

After that?  Well, an appreciation of what is consensual and what is non 
consensual might help him or her 

1. Take the staged porn with a pinch of salt

2. Steer clear of the masses of non consensual recordings (spy cams and such) 
uploaded online plus avoid ending up being featured in such a video themselves 

I believe Vidya Reddy of Tulir will have some excellent ideas on this.
