Southeast Asia - Day 1

Day 1 - PHL-Frankfurt-Singapore

Great, long trip on Singapore Air. Business Class worth every penny. Arrived around 6 AM after 23 hours in transit. Got in Early to hotel. Then went on city tour that was disppointing. Arranged by the concierge and hosted by Luxury tours. Reminded me of Cairo. Half the stops (Tiger beer and jewelry factory) were to let us shop. Botanical gardens nice.. headed back today. Had lunch in VivoCity mall. Very western..had Western fast food for lunch. Walked Chinatown in afternoon and couldnt find decent restaurant that had local food and a liquor license.

Ended up at Hue after Lisa devleoped blister on her bad foot, a nice Vietnamese restarant in the Hotel. Stayed awake till 8 before hitting a chemically induced sack.

Today, Buddhist Museum, more time at Botanical Garden and dinner at Raffles before leaving for Sabah tomorrow.
