Default checking in from Singapore

Got a project in Singapore so we have been here for the past 5 days. Leaving today. People are super friendly, food everywhere. Most helpful bunch of people I've met on my travels.
Real clean nice place with lots of modern wild architecture.
Looooong flight but If it was closer and cheaper to get here, I'd come back.

They are readying for the F1 Grand Prix next week., Damn couldnt my project have been then? In the picture with the huge (42 story) ferris wheel you can see the track.
Anyhow just wanted to post from far off..
No old cars here at all, learned they discourage car ownership through (up to) 100% taxes on cars, and a bidding process for a controlled release of the Certificate that you need to own and drive a car that can cost as much as 10,000 a year. So this discourages anyone paying that much to own a car that is not nice and new. Have lots of good buses, and it's a small island really, so you can manage I suppose.

Food can be cheap, and if you like asian or seafood it's very good. Funny thing is the kinda eat many of the same types of foods for breakfast lunch and dinner. Dont really have a set breakfast "menu" they do have certain breakfast foods but not like we do.I think I like it.

Here's a few shots.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
