Column in Xian
Teahouse in Xian
One of the oldest still operational tea houses in the world.
Xian warriors
Yes, they were painted. In the olden days the army must have looked glorious indeed – and quite lifelike.
A little spooky really…
McDonalds in Xian – beginning of the end?

Xian – magnificent warriors
The scale of the installation was breathtaking, apparently only a small area has been excavated. Many more treasures await discovery – including the Pyramid.
Mahi Mahi in San Francisco
Lunch In Singapore
Ku De Ta – Marina Bay Sands
Easily one of the best views in the world, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The food was very nice as well, albeit pricey by Singapore standards. Though, as my brother-in-law quite rightly pointed out, we were paying for the view.

Kopi Tiam – the next day
Love the traditional Singaporean breakfast. It’s cheap and delicious. Something funny happened though on this occasion.
As I am a largish Caucasian, the lady that was serving at the counter initially refused to give me the soft boiled egg, insisting I would not like it. I tried to explain that I had had it many times and am quite fond of it.
Lucky for me, a compassionate Singaporean standing in line behind me explained to the lady behind the counter in Chinese that the large white man in front of him, did indeed want the soft boiled egg. Owing to his intervention I soon walked away happily with my Set A.
I would like to thank my anonymous benefactor. Without you I might not have been able to secure one of my favourite breakfast meals that day.
