Re: Gumbo's Pic of the Day, Feb. 16, 2015: Chinese New Year Decorations, Singapore
Singapore is a fascinating destination. My first impression was "it's where West meets East". A City that celebrates the cultures of all its people. It's a great place to change flights - but - stay a while to take in the culture. I really enjoyed my time there.

I'm with Garry. Singapore is a great place to lay over for a day or two when traveling east to west or visa versa. Great food, great people, nice place to stay. It's also the most expensive city to visit in the world now, so budget travel here can be challenging. But if you're going to splurge a day or two, this would be the place.

There are actually more budget boutique hotels opening up now, which is great. That's usually the biggest expense I find.

Singapore was my first introduction to what Chinese Food was all about. Chicken porridge. Fish head soup. Noodles with an added flavour. Sometimes McRonalds is a welcome sight. I do jest. Western Chinese food is readily available too.

Re: Disney says it will take action as Snow White & Captain America appear at Chinese theme park
I suspect that Chinese courts will not be very sympathetic to Disney -- unless there is pressure from the US government. Disney is very protective of its characters, so this action is not a surprise to me.

Re: Rome and Milan get Chinese police to patrol hot spots
It appears as if outsourcing of work continues. Italian police officers are not willing to deal with Italian pickpockets and have turfed the work to the Communist Chinese police. I never cease to be amazed!
