Singapore? I liked the trip there very much. As well as a trip to Kiev , Ukraine. I went there for 5 days and these days are very much remembered to me. It was the cheapest trip of my life. Not because I was saving, no. because the prices there are very low. I lived in the Premier Hotels and Resorts --- www.phnr.com/en ---, where I rented a room with a shower and a cozy bedroom. The hotel was downtown and it all cost me $ 50 a day. I think it's a great budget travel option. Welcome to the board, Michael! |

As you can see, while we are all Yankee/baseball fans, unlike many other forums we don’t eschew other discussion. I suppose we also tend to. Be fans of life in general. Nothing wrong with that! Glad you enjoyed your travels so much... |

Let me join the Welcome Wagon for Michael. Thanks for signing on, and glad to see you on the travel thread. Ukraine and a few of the Balkan countries still represent the increasingly rare parts of Europe that can be enjoyed in style without spending a lot of money. Of course, a lot of places can be visited cheaply if you are indifferent to your accommodations. But that gets tougher as we get older. At least it does for me.

If you visit Kiev now, you can take advantage of the pre war special. Free borscht and vodka shots to the first 100 visitors.

All the bats you can eat, all the bat poop you need to burn for heating... My mind just turned to a “Rest Stop” that we stopped at in extreme rural Montana. It was near to the site of the Battle of Little Bighorn, and was inside a store that sold typical (but rather nice) tourist fare directed mostly toward Native American History. We needed to use the rest room, so Ruthie asked me to go first and let her know where they were. I saw a sign that said “Ladie’s Room” and looked down the same hallway. About the time I was walking out of the hallway, the ladie’s room door opened as Inwas walking by and I was face to face with an attractive lady who turned out to be one of the owners. I asked her where the men’s room was and she answered, and rather hautily, “Men can just go outside, you know. There’s a place out back”. At least they did have a port-a-pot, so I didn’t have to “pick a tree” to go behind...LOL... When I exited the next “customer” was waiting for his turn. We shared a laugh about the accommodations, since we had followed a highway rest stop sign. |

How ironic. By 2050 I suspect you and I will both be far too COLD to visit any of those cities... |

Damn.. I won't be able to go back to Kuwait. Lol... In Kuwait there was a law that if the temperature ever hit 130 Fahrenheit, people were free to leave work. (That makes the dubious assumption that Kuwaitis actually work, but that is another story.) That rule was in fact geared toward the poor South Asians and Africans who do all of the grunt jobs. In the two years I lived there, the official temperature had a miraculous way of never pushing over the 129 mark. |
