Perfect for just 2 or 3 days though. I know you said in an earlier conversation that you were a bit hesitant about Asia but Vietnam is a place to fall in love with. God knows why the French tourists there feel the need to be obnoxious!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-12222765280053126282011-04-10T17:12:39.699+12:002011-04-10T17:12:39.699+12:00An excellent report Geoff.

I can see where Jennie was coming from with the 'theme park' analogy for Singapore.<br /><br />This has been a really educational & enlightening read, particularly you Vietnam experience.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Jules.Tarsnakes Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859439380216890525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-50474375957898647272011-04-09T20:54:06.651+12:002011-04-09T20:54:06.651+12:00George:

Looks like it goes forever. <br />I'm very glad you got that sleep deprivation thing worked out.

I don't particularly suffer from vertigo but an infinity pool at that altitude might be a bridge too far!!<br /><br />Nikos:<br />Yep, Singapore seems to be the hub for the whole world by the languages at breakfast in the hotel.

I've seen photos of that infinity pool at the Marina Bay Sands......the view would be great, (if you can get past the fact that there's no wall or fence between the edge of the pool and 55 stories straight down!!!)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your trip with us all...loved reading every word and viewing all the photos.<br /><br />cheersAnthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158034455791059826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-25359309606015643832011-04-08T15:15:09.605+12:002011-04-08T15:15:09.605+12:00Sonja:

What a lovely architecture, I hope that I get to see Singapore one day, since my company has an office there. Otherwise I will have to save up a few years, and repeat your travels. Thank you so much for letting me tag along. Hope you lose your jetlag soon. I know how it feels waking up in the middle of the night and not remembering where you are.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-86470633033489967562011-04-08T14:30:28.643+12:002011-04-08T14:30:28.643+12:00Cheers Roger,
