Just sacked the Editor, realised you had the blurb about Halong Bay and Hanoi twice. So now onto Singapore…….

It’s just so different. The architecture blew my mind, sky rise buildings you would never dream of. It’s very sterile after the places I’ve visited. It’s a clean, modern, law abiding , expensive City State, and everything works. There’s a buzz, but more like London on steroids, than other parts of Asia. I was generously put up by relations of Cheltenham friends, who showed me round and made sure I saw the best bits, and explained the politics and economy of it, which I would never have found out otherwise. Thank you Phil and Claire and of course, baby Olivia.

So much for being brave and travelling through Asia alone, and the only thing I lost after nine weeks was half a tooth, teach me to buy nougat as a way of spending my last Singapore Dollars!!!
