I'm from Singapore and enjoyed reading about an era that's so different from now. If it's alright may I have your email to get in contact? I am doing a research on Raffles' history during that period that you were there and I hope you could help with that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301546735570370835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-19946047005295941482013-12-07T01:27:27.777-08:002013-12-07T01:27:27.777-08:00Hi Robyn...yes, Marj and I did have a ball!! ;)Hi Robyn...yes, Marj and I did have a ball!! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-49961275040568230012013-12-06T20:40:14.915-08:002013-12-06T20:40:14.915-08:00Not bored, Lee.

After a trip, he would come to visit and regale me with lurid stories of his stay in Singapore. Pity it's changed...I feel it was very much a part of Singapore's culture as were the "girls" or katois (lady boys) as they are called in Thailand.<br /><br />Lee Kuan Yew certainly did a wonderful job with Singapore and his legacy will live on long after he's gone.<br /><br />Great descriptions, Lee, it sounded like a lot of fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03503915059334064289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-80358624520551591202013-12-02T10:12:02.170-08:002013-12-02T10:12:02.170-08:00I'm not bored!

It is a long time since I have had any - I must check whether it still exists. For rum itself these days I prefer a Nepalese rum 'Khukri'. When the skinny one is fully better I will send him back to Nepal for more.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
