... it, as we did, as a stop over on the way to Thailand. Having said this I was impressed with what I saw. Clearly, the city was not for us.

There was also some amusement when the steward dude introduced the driver as the "captain"! I also got a laugh when he made a big point that the toilet on the coach was, and I quote, intended for light use only. <br><br>Back in Singapore, I went for a walk around Orchard Road shopping district, and ...

Due to the delays caused by waiting for these people, and being overly courteous (I would like to mention many ...

The ground floor of the house was also open to the public, so I spent five minutes walking around on the brief tour. The funniest part of the day was that to get into the grounds, there were the standard security checks for a place of such importance with bag scanning checks, but before I even got as far as that, my temperature was ...

We walked through the central business district on a relatively quiet Saturday, where apart from ongoing construction the main activity was from workers scrubbing the sidewalks and c leaning out the many fountains. Despite a number of cars flowing through the city, there were very few honking horns (unusual for a tropical city). A few blocks from the waterfront we stumbled upon one of the ...
