Hello from the lounge
Hi all, I am posting this last message on my blog before we board the plane.
All I can say is – the SIA Business Class lounge rocks. Good selection of booze *hic*. I also had my fill of very well-cooked chicken.
Onwards!

I’m back from Kuala Lumpur after a 6 hour coach ride, through the 2nd Link. I heard that some friends in another coach had their chewing gum confiscated! Overall we had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the food but was careful not to overeat, and looked at a lot of shops, but as usual…

Somehow, this time I wasn’t wowed very much. In fact, despite the sale the place was relatively empty. It was late morning. We managed to grab seats at the Japanese restaurant. Check out the caviar! BTW these weren’t even the most expensive…
I’m sure everyone who reads this blog – being intelligent, educated, outward-looking types 😉 – would know that China is developing fast. It goes without saying, but seeing is truly believing. I’ve been to China at least 3 times before this, not counting Hong Kong, and every time things have improved. Back in the mid-90s,…
This is a quick post. We’ve done the usual – duck rice at Four Seasons, shopping at Harrod’s, and today we visited the Emirates Stadium to pick up some gear. May go back for a proper tour on Sat if the timing’s right. If there’s time we will squeeze in a museum visit. Tomorrow I…
