A Girl &  A Bald Traveller SingaporeTravel Blog

In Singapore, where I come from, “Annual Leave” (AL) is a precious “commodity”.

Some people “sell it” (better money than time off), others “burn it away” (too busy to take leave), but a good many of us use it for vacations. After all, Singaporeans are supposedly some of the most traveled people in t...

As I write this post, I am back in Singapore. A swab test (tested negative, phew...) and a mandatory 14 day SHN (Stay Home Notice) later, I am now stuck at home again; working from home to be precise. Now, we are 1 month into our country's approximately 2 month "Circuit Breaker", which is basically...

Phew, it’s tough getting used to this.

For me, for you, for a whole lot of us whose highlight of the year revolved around that one or two vacations we could take.

As you know, “The Girl” and I used to travel four times a year, and now everything has come to complete standstill. Airports are closed,...

Do not travel.

Exactly how many countries are there in Europe?

Oh, and so we are clear, this isn’t...

I can’t believe it.

Since forever, the only people permitted to enter this unknown desert “Kingdom” have been business travelers, Muslims on their pilgrimage, visitors attending the odd event, and domestic workers that the rich Saudi’s...

Alright, I know this is an age old debate. 

Still, I've decided to blog about this because on one my recent flights, I encountered an interesting situation (which made my blood boil) where an elderly couple sitting behind me deliberately prevented my seat from reclining and decided they would kick th...

As a student, you had to watch in envy as your schoolmates with rich daddy’s sent them globetrotting across Europe for their “Grad-Trip”.

As a working adult today, cash still seems tight. Whatever salary comes in seems to go out just as fast. After-all, keeping up appearances, trying to look like yo...

When people knew I was going to kick off my “Silk Road” adventure across Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan, their response was generally similar, “Ah....Borat!”, which tells you how much of a hit the movie was. Kyrgyzstan, most people didn’t have a clue where on earth that was.

Before Borat the Movi...

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people....”
