I should probably show this to my sister who spent four years there teaching english to locals, learning to speak some malay and mandarin while she was there. I liked the city and could easily imagine living there. However I guess there is a price to pay for this and you highlighted it well Excellent article about Singapore – I didn’t delve as deeply as you in the time I spent there.

The resort looks gorgeous. Hopefully I'll feel less envious in a couple of weeks when we are in Port Douglas :-) Is the Treo still alive? Yesterday it was announced that our new ticketing system will be delayed another two years and will be even more massively over budget. Rather than learn from the MRT it would probably be better to just let Singapore run Melbourne's transit system for us. Don't worry about the Saints - I'm sure they are just lulling everyone else into a false sense of security. Sob! Ciao for now, Doogie Using my Treo 750 to post and listen to Lady Sovereign. I am Geekboy. Hear me roar! Hola! The resort looks gorgeous. Hopefully I’ll feel less envious in a couple of weeks when we are in Port Douglas :-) Is the Treo still alive?

What a long one, I thought I'd never get to the end of it. But still fascinating. Really sounds like you're having an absolute ball. With all your stuff on the truck, it must feel like you've been stripped bare, alone in the world with no possessions to tie you down, or weigh you down. Could even be an exhilarating experience. I noticed you've had a comment from my friend Judy. She's loving following your trip. Photo's are great, but is it possible to label them. Sometimes, can't work out where they are. Anyway, "keep on Truckin", and having a ball. Love reading all about it. LOve & Peace, David. Dear DSMF,
