You know the Bannana Leaf Apollo sounds a little familiar?  Muthu's doesnt at 
all.  Perhaps you've mentioned the other, or perhaps i have been there.  Got 
directions?  I expect to be in Singapore again in late spring.

Yeah, I know the type.  Some are worse.  No human at all.  It's even worse if 
you have to jump on and just pay the conductor when you cant pronounce the name

of the town and he cant read 'western writing' (made worse when you cant spell 
it right to start!).  I've gotten the generic ticket a few times on the seaside

liner.  (900 yen).  It's just easier even if my trip was 650yen.

Ohh yeah!  Imagine if i could trade them in for a free trip on the QE II!  Now 
that would be nice.

Wierd!  Oh well.  We will continue to tie odd things to our bags.  Last time i 
had to do the seabag, it was decorated enough to be obviously mine when it came

out.
