CS>>  Malasia as well.  Singapore, I find boring and expensive.
BF>> Oh, so we shouldn't go there?

 CS> Well, It depends on what you are looking for.  I've been told that 'Little
 CS> India' is more my style so next time I'll try there.

What is Little India?

 CS> Mostly Singapore is
 CS> very clean, good mass transit, expensive, very 'western' feel.  Shopping
 CS> centers are like stateside ones (big stores, brand names, brand name
 CS> prices).  They have a zoo but it's nothing all that great (other places
 CS> are better, England has a better one for example by far).

OK. We'll skip Singapore then.

 CS> Contrast this with Hong Kong.  Hong Kong has it all.

It's too far to Hong Kong.

 BF>> Perhaps it's better to go to Malasia then.

 CS> Ohh I'd love to go there!  I havent yet and may never get to before we
 CS> leave.  I hear from a friend (Glenn in COOKING) that it's a great place!

Have to contact him and hear where he lives. Perhaps we could visit him.

BF>> Who uses a floppy today.....except you? USB memory you know.

 CS> Grin, dinosaur here, yes.  I export my QWK packets on the ship from email
 CS> to a floopy then put them in the laptop and reply, then floppy back the
 CS> reply packet.  I may try re-writable CD's if I can use the right machines
 CS> at work that can burn them to get around this.

This new 12" toy doesn't even have a floppy.

 CS> Oh, back in.  A typhoon drove us back to Sasebo to wait it out.  It's well
 CS> north of us (where we were supposed to be).  I'm only in for a few days.

We've had small hurricanes here too now, lifting barns and trailers.
