He thinks he liked the Tiger beer better than the Bintang but both were drinkable beers and he would buy either one again. They were better than any of the very cheap, lite beers in Canada or the USA.<br /><br />Yes, we were very fortunate to spend time with Han, Michelle and Adrian. Very enjoyable and knowledgeable people who were able to answer our many questions about the country and how it runs.<br /><br />Both plates of food were tasty but at least mine included some vegetables. :-) Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-90510784146943200862019-05-28T17:40:05.586-04:002019-05-28T17:40:05.586-04:00We are so glad that you enjoyed our blog posts on ...We are so glad that you enjoyed our blog posts on Singapore and Bali. They are both places we wouldn't hesitate to return to. Singapore has more there than meets the eye, it really intrigued us. As for Bali we never even touch the surface really. Denpasar, certainly isn't why we would go to Bali for though. A day or two isn't too bad but we would never stay in the city longer than that, however we really look forward to returning and exploring the rural parts of Bali.<br /><br />Yes we were very lucky to have spent time with Han, Michelle and Adrian in Singapore, it gave us a whole new outlook on the city/country. They are very nice, friendly people. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-28388802250805344632019-05-28T17:31:59.986-04:002019-05-28T17:31:59.986-04:00Well wasn't that great timing for you to check...Well wasn't that great timing for you to check out our blog just when we are about to start out on a grand new venture. We hope that you will continue following along as we start exploring Australia, it is certainly going to be an interesting few months ahead of us.<br /><br />Singapore is a really interesting city and now that we have been there, there is so much more than we thought it was going to be, so much so that we now want to return and see more of it on another visit sometime in the future.<br /><br />Han said that they don't have corruption in their parliament because it isn't big to start with and they pay their leaders really, really well that they don't have a need to try and make even more money. Not sure this is the case but it sounds pretty logical.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-56155885405366251332019-05-28T17:21:51.054-04:002019-05-28T17:21:51.054-04:00Yes, we think you should as well! :-)Yes, we think you should as well! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-15944790902650166312019-05-27T18:47:58.517-04:002019-05-27T18:47:58.517-04:00HOw did the Tiger beer and the Bintang beer taste ...HOw did the Tiger beer and the Bintang beer taste compared to the North American beer? Very interesting info about Singapore and how they live and conduct business. Very lucky for you to have met three locals who showed you some key aspects of their culture. As an aside...just an observation..Ruth's plate looked more appetizing than yours Kevin! hahaha! But I bet that beef was delicious.

Then yesterday, I suddenly thought "I wonder what Kevin and Ruth are doing these days". Oh my, what timing! You are off on a new and fantastic adventure to Australia and I'm afraid you will give me itchy feet again. Although your stay in Singapore was short, you have me and I am sure many other readers intrigued about this fascinating city. How do they manage to not have corruption I wonder? I wish you a wonderful time while in Australia and thank you for keeping up your blog.
