Much of the time traveling is spent purchasing water bottles and avoiding drinking the water when you are unsure of its cleanliness. Recently in Singapore I had a rather funny (embarassing) run in with a guard at the U.S. Embassy. We made an appointment to add more pages to Josh’s passport and arrived early. As […]

Singapore from the Peak

As I mentioned in traveling on or off the beaten path, I don’t shy away from a line if the end justifies the means. Some travelers see a line and quickly turn around not wanting to waste their time. When visiting Victoria Peak yesterday, I got in line. Yes, I felt a bit like I […]
