    The National Museum was a wonderful experience 2 years ago but was limited this time. It was nice to see some original Claude Monet paintings but the History side remains beautifully presented but dull. The galleries seemed too calculated and precise but art is creative, original and unpredictable. It was like having a rock concert in a Library or a Warhol exhibition in a Hospital. The staff act like robots and the cafe prices are too high considering the ordinary service and cuisine.

    Singapore, the City-State, at only 274 square miles it is easily the smallest country I have ever been to, although arguably has possibly the most to offer. Its name is derived from the Sanskrit singapura, meaning lion city, after Sang Nila Utama, founder of the ancient settlement of Singapore saw what he thought was a lion here. Despite a …

The driver decided to reverse to get out of the station and whilst doing this reversed right into a massive column! Its not like he didn't know it was there! So instead of getting out to …
