I love Singapore. Although in general, it’s as expensive day-to-day as vacationing in the United States, it’s truly a wonderful place. Low crime, clean (really clean!) streets, and some of the nicest people in the world. What really rocked my boat, though, is the food. I love hawker food and certainly Singapore has some of [...]
I like Pacsafe gear. I use the wallet. I also have the big Pacsafe net, but haven’t needed to use that yet. My suggestion today is for the Pacsafe TravelSafe 100 pouch. It is a lightweight, portable way to lock your wallet, camera, cellphone, and keys while you travel. This malleable pouch’s eXomesh Ultimate technology [...]
Earlier this month, I had a chance to go to the Lion Rock Park and Kam Shan Park area in Kowloon. There, macaques, or monkeys were introduced to the areas in the 1920′s and have since gone feral. There are about 2,100 of them at last count. (ref). We took a taxi up, and the [...]

Here’s something I use all the time. (ok I admit, my wife uses them when she helps me pack, lol! It helps eliminate the air and keeps my shirts and pants nice and tight so I can pack more in a smaller suitcase. Large suitcases are cumbersome and hard to fit in the Asian taxi’s [...]
We stayed at a nicely located serviced apartment complex. The location is the key value in this accommodation, as it’s located at the Orchard Point shopping center and is in the middle of many shopping malls and restaurants. If you want to stay there, the first thing you’ll need to do is get there. You [...]
Häagen-Dazs in Singapore. One thing I love about Asia is that ice cream is an upscale event. That means that the dishes are a little fancier, ingredients are often fresher, and they always come in proper glassware . Häagen-Dazs and Swensons are both great choices. I also like the various smaller chains that serve “fresh [...]
