SIngopore is a place you don't mess around in for sure. I am curious if they still have the law against stepping on a coin that hits the ground? Seems like I remember hearing that. I think it was because the currency had royal figures on it.
Also one of my friends made a couple of trips to a base there. He took a picture of a sign that very easy to read. The sign depicted a man climbing a fence while another man was shooting him in the back.
Well, my sister told me to check out your blog. Very interesting. I wish I could have explored more of the the countries I have been in. I was always there for work, hardly ever any time to play. Most of my exploring was from inside military aircraft or from within the confines of concrete/chain link fence fortifications.
Glad you are getting a chance to enjoy our environment before all six billion of us consume it.
Take care.

P.S. I forgot to say, my sister is Christie (not putting the last name) She is married to one of your relatives.
