How To Call Another Country

Sometimes, it takes a situation (i.e. someone loses their wallet), for a person to realize how easy good it is in their country.  Trying to send money to Singapore I found out a few things relavent to mine:

1. Outside of the USA they call wire transfers "telegraphic transfer".  And doing one is not as easy as setting up an electronic funds transfer!  Most likely this involves a trip to your local bank.
2. Singapore is one of those places that we like to think of as a City-State.  In other words, it’s not like Los Angeles, California but more like Singapore, Singapore.  Take a look at Washington, D.C. or here for more examples.
3. It’s always good to have resources when you can’t remember stuff like how to call another country.  I usually use this Internet resource when planning vacation, but at timeanddate.com they also have a link to assist with dialing another country.
