Singapore

As Bill said this is a modern, clean city full of shopping & eating - good for our budget Bill

has been under the weather, because who knows what damage he would have done! My husband loves to shop & this city has outdone him - there is every store known to man - from designer stores, like Stella McCarthy's to the Gap! Prices are comparable to US some deals, but it's not cheap here. Thank heavens for our Sheraton points - staying @ a Le Meridien & quite nice - complementary buffet breakfast & our favorite happy hour with snacks! Helps our budget tremendously, although eating here is very reasonable. You can get anything from pig's organ soup to Kentucky fried chicken - food courts everywhere & very nice ones!

Great time of year to be here - lots of Christmas lights - performers along the streets - last night heard an absolutely beautiful choir singing in Mandarin Christmas carols - they were

 so good didn't matter the language barrier. Plus easy to recognize the Christmas songs. Reminded me of when our nephews Albert & Danny were in their school choir.

Great walking city & the architecture is astounding - not many older buildings, but lots of diverse styles, even the malls are interesting from a architectural aspect 

We will be heading to country #3, Malaysia & can't believe it's only been 2 months since we left California, seems longer. Fortunately, we are still in good shape a little cold, but no major issues. My favorite part so far, like all the tri

ps we have ever taken spending all my time with my wonderful husband! That ought to get me a good Christmas gift!

See you from Malaysia,
