    That looks nice la. The thing is, when I'm out east I really want to stay in the same places I used to frequent when I was a rubber planter in Malaya in the 20s. It's a nostalgia thing.

    The rest of Singapore is ghastly and modern.

    Go to Penang instead. Its the only solution.

    Are you sure you weren't a smuggler? I think this place would work for that

    Singapore?

    Never been but know people who live and have lived there and based on their feedback I would think there are plenty of really dull but very expensive places where everyone sits around thinking 'god I must be wonderful to be able to afford to be here'.

    Sure you'll find a replacement

    Fly in for the day. I have done that several times.

    The Intercontinental is ok. Its a nice hotel and a short walk from raffles and the 'good bit' of Singapore- the Padang, Cricket Club, City Hall etc.....

    I have stayed in a few others before but they are all ****e.
