All good things have to end . . .

Posted on March 24, 2018December 5, 2019by Sarah Isaacs

So after a lovely last day where we did the Singapore river walk from our hotel, through the immaculate litter-free streets, past the colourful old shuttered buildings interspersed with the modern glass monoliths, coffee bars and restaurants we now wait at Singapore airport to board our flight home. Having said good bye to the sun […]

I’m in Singapore for a conference so a couple of conference photos as proof – one from each day🤣. If in London you are never more than 20 feet from a rat, in Singapore you are never more than 20ft from a shopping mall! Expert shopping guide to hand we had a little conference shopping […]

It’s like London, without the traffic

Posted on March 23, 2018May 15, 2018by Sarah Isaacs

So we made it to our final destination – Singapore. A complete contrast to Bangkok. Even our airport experience was completely different – we were through passport control within 5 minutes of leaving the plane, and in our taxi within 30 minutes – they even have carpet in the airport. There is no traffic, although […]

“In Asia we don’t worry, in Europe all safety, safety, safety”

Today was a real treat – air conditioned 6 seater minivan, with massage chairs and tinted windows! Oh, and two different markets, both are famous. First was the Maeklong Railway market I think the video sums it up! We did ask why the market grew up on the railway line, but we didn’t get an […]

Under threat of death here is my one and only Blog

After a 05:00 alarm call we clambered out of bed to get to our hotel meeting point. It was a beautiful traditional house converted to a hotel but a little too far out of town. Our hotel is a 15 minute walk to a huge shopping mall with automated toilets that have heated seats and […]

Culture Shock

Posted on March 18, 2018July 12, 2019by Sarah Isaacs

So after a short late evening flight and a bit of a delay at the airport – we were mobbed by hoards of teenagers, waiting for a boy band from South Korea rather than us, we arrived at our hotel at 01:15 Friday morning, and despite this were up early, if not bright, and out […]

Our last two days in Vietnam were spent in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon. They started early with a 05:00 alarm on the Wednesday for a 06:00 pick up for an 07:55 flight. We were taken directly from the airport to the Cu Chi tunnels. It was here that we learnt most about the […]

A day of culture

Posted on March 14, 2018May 15, 2018by Sarah Isaacs

So I love history and the culture that surrounds it and different religions, but as my memory ain’t as good as it used to be don’t expect me to be able to recount much from today. It was 5 hours solid, but mesmerizing. And the good news – it was 5 hours without the noise […]

So after our final breakfast and the biggest passion fruit ever, the suit arrived. What a beautiful piece of tailoring – the quality is superb. No alterations needed – fits like a glove, as the cliche says! One very pleased and proud hubby. A couple of hours by the beautiful pool before taking off. Despite […]

So the suntan lotion is out at last, up to 26C today – woo hoo! And of course it is Mother’s Day in the Uk – and for me in Vietnam – a big thank you to my offspring for your gorgeous cards and words, well 5 from David, 10 from Jonathan and 500 from […]
